Lessons & Coaching

How are lessons held, and how long are they?

Lessons are private, one-to-one online sessions lasting 50 minutes. Most international students use Google Meet. For students in mainland China, VooV Meeting may be used when Google Meet is unavailable or unreliable. You'll receive joining details before your lesson.

Why are JFConvo lessons 50 minutes?

From my experience, 50 minutes provides a good balance between meaningful practice and sustained concentration. We begin with a relaxed conversation, gradually move into more focused and challenging work, and finish by slowing down, reviewing key points and reflecting on what you've learned.

The goal isn't to fill every minute with intensive exercises. It's to create a natural rhythm that allows you to think, speak and improve without feeling mentally exhausted.

What English level do I need?

JFConvo is designed primarily for upper-intermediate, advanced and proficient English speakers who want to communicate more naturally, clearly and confidently. If you can already hold conversations in English but want to express yourself better, you're likely a good fit.

What happens during a typical lesson?

Each session begins with a brief check-in and a focus based on your goals. From there, we explore real topics, practise communication and work on vocabulary, pronunciation and clarity. You'll receive targeted feedback and practical ideas to take forward. There is no rigid textbook or scripted curriculum.

Can lessons help me prepare for IELTS Speaking?

Yes. IELTS Speaking preparation can include structured answers, fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation and responding confidently under exam conditions. Sessions are tailored to your current ability and areas for improvement. Specific band scores cannot be guaranteed.

Do you offer professional or corporate English coaching?

Yes. JFConvo offers communication coaching for professionals, executives and small teams. Sessions can focus on meetings, client conversations, negotiations, presentations and expressing complex ideas with confidence. Corporate coaching arrangements and rates are discussed individually.

Booking, Plans & Policies

How do booking and payment work?

Choose your preferred lesson plan and select available session times through TidyCal. Payment is completed securely through PayPal within the booking process. Your booking is confirmed once the required payment and booking steps are completed.

Can I reschedule a lesson?

Yes. Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notice, may be counted as completed. Please see the Terms & Conditions for details.

How long are lesson packages valid?

Package validity begins with your first session:

  • Focused Plan: 10 sessions — 3 months
  • Fluency Plan: 20 sessions — 6 months
  • Mastery Plan: 40 sessions — 12 months

Unused sessions may expire after the applicable period. Please see the Terms & Conditions for full details.

What is your refund policy?

If you purchase a lesson package and find that JFConvo isn't the right fit, you may request a refund within your first two completed sessions. Those completed sessions are non-refundable, but any eligible unused package balance will be refunded. Packages are generally non-refundable after the first two sessions, except where required by law. Please review the Terms & Conditions before purchasing.

Privacy & Contact

Are lessons private and confidential?

Yes. JFConvo treats lesson discussions and personal information confidentially, subject to applicable law and the limitations of third-party meeting platforms. Lessons are not routinely recorded, and either party must obtain prior mutual agreement before recording. Student identities, photographs and testimonials are not published for promotional purposes without permission. Further details are available in the Privacy Policy.
