CELTA-certified, trilingual (EN/DE/FR) English teacher and pro translator (15+years of experience) (I don't teach children, sorry! Teenagers are fine. For non-German/French speakers, I only offer conversational lessons.) Hi, I’m Josh, a CELTA-certified English teacher from the US. I am passionate about language learning and work as a professional translator at Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster. I have completed a master’s degree in translation and interpreting (with German, French, and English) in Strasbourg, France. So I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language myself. I specialize in structured English courses for German- and French-speaking beginners. We work step by step on speaking, grammar, and vocabulary, with a special focus on pronunciation and phonetics. As I speak German and French, I can explain important differences between your language and English and help with common pronunciation problems. I also offer conversation lessons for students of all levels and language backgrounds. In my lessons, you will speak as much as possible. I will correct your pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary and explain mistakes in a clear and simple way. In my structured courses, I share my screen and take notes during the lesson for you to follow in real time. After class, I send you the notes with minor edits, so you can review everything we learned. I have a clear American accent and a strong interest in languages, grammar and pronunciation. My goal is to make English easier to understand and give you the tools you need to keep improving.

Josh is a really patient and great listener. I really appreciate how he can take broad topics and break them down into simple, meaningful discussions. It made the conversation flow naturally while still being very informative. I learned a lot and felt more confident speaking by the end of the lesson. Thanks for the great chat!!

I was really glad to have a class with Teacher Josh. He is very attentive and supportive. Most importantly, he shared his listening strategies, which are completely different from anything I had learned online. They really opened my eyes. I finally realized that I had been too focused on understanding every single word, which was why I spent so much time analyzing details without making much progress. Overall, Teacher Josh has helped me a lot, and I’m truly grateful for his guidance. A big thank you to Teacher Josh!

Great experience with the trial lesson. After I sent a lesson request, Josh messaged me and asked about my learning preferences. This made it clear to me that Josh had seen my request and accepted it intentionally, and that he genuinely cares about helping people learn English. Josh joined on time and was fully engaged during the lesson, politely correcting some of my mistakes. After the lesson, he offered to provide some helpful learning materials, which I always appreciate.

Josh speaks clearly and has a friendly approach. He also speaks other languages in case you need a comparison to understand some nuances which turned out to be useful during our class! 😁 we will see each other soon!
