About Me
italki teacher since Feb 8, 2021
InterestsTravelMusicSports & FitnessFoodBusiness & Finance
I specialise in helping professionals master advanced Business English. Before teaching I was a corporate lawyer, so my lessons aren’t just fluent, they’re commercially fluent. I’ve lectured in Business English at Chukyo University, taught executives at Japan’s top companies, and led the flagship school of the country’s largest language institute. My lessons train you to express complex ideas with precision, challenge assumptions, and speak with confidence in meetings, negotiations, and debates. That’s why students stay long term. Most take 18+ lessons, which is more than double the platform average.

I usually don't write feedback for italki teachers, but in Joe's case, I truly feel compelled to share my experience so others can benefit from studying with him. Joe is one of the very few genuinely excellent teachers on italki - and I say this as someone who's quite critical and has high expectations. I first joined a few of Joe's group lessons, which stood out for their structure, engagement, and quality of discussion. I enjoyed them so much that I moved on to individual lessons, which have exceeded my expectations. Joe is highly professional, always well-prepared, and his materials are thoughtful and engaging. He calibrates vocabulary perfectly to my level, explains new words clearly, and uses fun role-playing exercises. He tactfully corrects mistakes, keeps notes for review, and includes regular revisions. Joe is an outstanding teacher - professional, intelligent, and genuinely dedicated to his students' progress.

I really enjoyed the class with Joe. During each class, we engaged in many interesting discussions, which encouraged me to view issues from different perspectives and depths. It was both inspiring and interesting. Over the past month, my vocabulary has also improved, and I now feel much more confident speaking English!

I believe Joe is one of the best private business English teachers one could ever have. His background in law ensures that he possesses not only solid English knowledge but also the necessary experience in the business area. His well-structured course helps me to acquire key elements of business English, while simultaneously engaging in in-depth business discussions. I prefer to consider Joe's classes as a mini MBA course rather than just English classes.
