About Me
italki teacher since Jul 23, 2020InterestsReadingEnvironment & NatureSciencePets & AnimalsTravel
Hi everyone! I'm Josh, a native English speaker and fluent Mandarin speaker from Australia. I'm a TEFL qualified teacher and have years of teaching experience both online and offline. After a break from italki, I'm back teaching from late November 2024.
I'm an avid traveller. I love learning languages and about other cultures. As an Australian, I love spending time at the beach.
I look forward to seeing you online!
**Please be aware that I do not teach children.**
大家好！我是来自澳大利亚的Josh，中文名是乔书华， 是一名英语母语者，又精通汉语。我持有TEFL证书，并且在线上和线下都拥有丰富的教学经验。在离开 italki 一段时间后，我从 2024 年 11 月下旬起回到这个平台教英语。
我热衷于旅游，也喜欢学习语言、了解不同文化。作为澳洲人的我也特别喜欢在海滩上打发时间。
很期待在线上见！
**请注意，我不教儿童。**Me as a Teacher
I'm a language learner myself, so I thoroughly understand the difficulties of learning another language and use this understanding to inform my teaching. I'm particularly adept at addressing common problems for Chinese speaking students given my knowledge of the Chinese language.
I'm an encouraging and patient teacher, who enjoys helping students overcome linguistic problems. I believe that lessons should revolve around my students, not myself. I tailor lessons to suit my students' needs and use a variety of resources.
我自己也热爱学习外语，因此我深入理解学习外语的困难，并将这种理解运用到我的教学中。鉴于我对中文的了解，我尤其擅长解决中国学生的常见问题。
我是一名很会鼓励人的、很有耐心的老师，乐于帮助学生克服语言上的困难。我认为上课应该围绕学生而不是我自己。我根据学生的需求定制课程，并使用各种教材。My lessons & teaching style
I focus on enjoyment and effective communication, while lessons themselves depend on language ability and learning needs. Building student confidence and willingness to speak are key goals of mine.
Medium of instruction: Mandarin, English
我希望学生能够享受学习语言的过程，同时学会有效的沟通能力。课程安排灵活，以满足学生的需求。我以培养自信心与提高表达意愿为上课目标。

From mid-January to mid-February, I had to prepare urgently for my IELTS Speaking retake, and Josh helped me improve by 1.5 bands in just 1 month, and yes, it was really 1.5 band in 1 month. I had tried a few other teachers, but Josh stood out with his dedication and support. He’s friendly, patient, and especially never lets me speak alone. I was impressed by well-made intro video, and his teaching didn’t disappoint. I’m still learning with him and honestly have nothing to complain about. This is just my genuine experience, no exaggeration, trust me :). Much respect and gratitude to Josh!

For any Chinese students, Josh is definitely your first choice for an English teacher! He has a deep understanding of both Chinese and English, making it easy to explain concepts clearly. Josh is incredibly patient and kind, especially when correcting my pronunciation mistakes. Without his guidance, I wouldn’t have even noticed the issues in my pronunciation. Highly recommend him!
