I’ve been taking lessons with Joel on italki and I highly recommend him. He explains things clearly, is patient, and always adapts the lesson to your level and goals. The classes are well-structured but still relaxed, which makes it easy to speak and improve without pressure. What I appreciate most is how he corrects mistakes in a constructive way and gives practical tips you can actually use in real conversations. I’ve noticed real progress in both my confidence and fluency. If you’re looking for a teacher who is professional, supportive, and effective, Joel is a great choice.

I appreciate his engaging way of communicating and having real conversations about what is going on now as a way to practice. I would appreciate his typing into the chat words that I did not remember/ know so that I can go back and reference them later or use the typed words to help connect them to what he is saying.
