About Me
italki teacher since Sep 8, 2014Me as a Teacher
Please note that I do not teach beginners and I now only offer consultations.
I specialize in American pronunciation training and accent reduction, as well as language mentoring (learning how to learn a language in the way that works best for you) but I also have a lot of different activities to improve all of your English language skills if desired.My lessons & teaching style
I am really good at connecting things, and this helps me to teach you better. I definitely understand how scary speaking can be and I am very patient, so you can relax and feel comfortable with me. My philosophy is to be a guide and mentor who is very focused on your needs and interests and who can give you the tools and information that you need in order to succeed as an English speaker. Because of this, I don't have a specific, rigid type of lesson that is too focused on grammar like traditional classes. Instead, I work with you to create the type of lessons and learning plan that best suit you.My teaching material

I have enjoyed the classes with Josh a lot!!! He is a very thoughtful teacher who cares and puts a lot of thought into how he teaches. Being calm, patient, and supportive are some of his positive characteristics. I like his caring approach very much! He has an incredible amount of knowledge in what he does, and his ability to articulate what he knows is amazing. I am grateful for Josh's continued support. And I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. 😄

Josh provided me with a very different perspective of working on my accent compared to the strategies I have been using. Very interesting and definitely helpful. I have not found the information Josh provided anywhere else. This is all new to me.

Josh is a true master at what he is doing. I love his approach in teaching because it is extremely effective. I know that improving pronunciation is not easy. And yet, I have a sense that having a breakthrough is highly possible when working with Josh.
