Hi everyone! My name is Joel, and I am from North New Jersey, located in the United States of America. I live 30 mins away from New York City, which is one of my favorite cities to visit. I have a Bachelor's degree in Creative Art Technology and a Masters in Fine Art in Design Thinking. During my free time, I enjoy reading/writing, photography, playing video games, traveling both domestically and internationally.
Me as a Teacher
Along with my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I also have both a TEFL and an English for Business and Entrepreneurship certificate and specialize in Business English and English Communication. I have work experience in both the corporate and nonprofit business world, and I currently teach Web Design, Graphic Design, and ESL courses at a university here in the United States. I have two years of teaching ESL courses, both in-person and online.
I have a deep passion for teaching individuals with improving their speaking skills. I do have more experience teaching adult students, so If you would like to enhance your English communication skills, please book a lesson with me.
My lessons & teaching style
When it comes to improving your speaking skills, practice, and consistency are key. You can speak to me and talk about various subjects and topics to enhance your skills. I enjoy talking about business, cultures, background, music, traveling, and food, among others.
The following beginner and intermediate lessons I teach are:
Job Interviewing 101
Phone Conversations
Business Meetings
Presentations
Writing useful emails – formal and informal language
Online vs. traditional shopping (e-commerce + business vocabulary)
In my lessons, students do the most speaking. My role is to provide you with useful feedback when needed. I also offered plenty of examples and questions.

First lesson with Joel! Awesome lesson! He started our conversation by asking a lot of questions about me, so I get used to speaking English. Loved the approach. Will definitely book another lesson. Cheers, Max.

Joel me ayudó mucho a practicar mi inglés de una manera muy amigable y motivadora. Él no se enfocó en las preguntas típicas sino en preguntas interesantes que realmente te motiva a seguir hablando y aprendiendo. Gravias Joel.

He's a very prepared teacher! I had a funny and helpful conversation with him. I would recommend everyone to choose him as a teacher here on Italki.
