Get to know the Genius-Team

Shani Jones.

CEO - Teacher

Trilingual American citizen, raised in Germany and Spain.
At the beginning of her career, always closely connected to languages, she was highly active in translation and interpretation. She eventually found her true vocation in teaching languages.

Fifteen years ago, she started by creating a playful learning program for children and later specialized in official English exams for teenagers and adults. She has helped many teenagers—most of them Spanish students from international schools—successfully pass official Cambridge and Goethe exams.

Her next challenge: intensive courses in Aviation English & Hospitality English. Shani’s extensive experience, combined with a team of qualified native teachers, has led to the creation of these accessible courses, designed to ensure effective learning and help each student reach their goals in the shortest possible time.

From the Classroom to the Cockpit — I’ve Been Where You Are.

As an English teacher turned pilot, I know firsthand how terrifying it can feel when the pressure hits and your words disappear mid-sentence. I’ve been the one freezing during simulations… stumbling through vocabulary… feeling like I knew the answers but couldn’t say them fast enough.

My course: Mastering Aviation English is everything I wish I had when I was preparing for the exam — not just a language resource, but a mindset shift. Inside, you’ll find the exact strategies, drills, and confidence-building tools that helped me (and now thousands of others) speak clearly and pass with flying colors.
