Joe

I usually don't write feedback for italki teachers, but in Joe's case, I truly feel compelled to share my experience so others can benefit from studying with him. Joe is one of the very few genuinely excellent teachers on italki - and I say this as someone who's quite critical and has high expectations. I first joined a few of Joe's group lessons, which stood out for their structure, engagement, and quality of discussion. I enjoyed them so much that I moved on to individual lessons, which have exceeded my expectations. Joe is highly professional, always well-prepared, and his materials are thoughtful and engaging. He calibrates vocabulary perfectly to my level, explains new words clearly, and uses fun role-playing exercises. He tactfully corrects mistakes, keeps notes for review, and includes regular revisions. Joe is an outstanding teacher - professional, intelligent, and genuinely dedicated to his students' progress.

After the 65 teachers in italky, I think Joe is the best!!!!

I really appreciate how Joe puts obvious care into every single lesson—each one feels tailor-made and packed with eye-opening topics that not only broaden my horizons but also shower me with new vocabulary and push me to speak from multiple angles. The instant, pinpoint feedback in class highlights the blind spots I never notice on my own and shows me exactly how to sound more natural.

Joe's class is full of personal creativity. The role-play scenarios and questions really push me to think in English and express myself precisely, which helps improve the consistency of my thinking and language skills.

He is always so well prepared to show what is really happening in the world. He often gives me a new perspective on many subjects, and also very patient to listen to me. Another good thing about him is he sometimes gives me a review period of former lessons so I can recall my mistakes for not to make again.

Provides great material and great feedback! I always have so much fun in Joe's classes
