Joe

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 appreciate how Joe puts obvious care into every single lesson—each one feels tailor-made and packed with eye-opening topics that not only broaden my horizons but also shower me with new vocabulary and push me to speak from multiple angles. The instant, pinpoint feedback in class highlights the blind spots I never notice on my own and shows me exactly how to sound more natural.

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!

After the 65 teachers in italky, I think Joe is the best!!!!

Provides great material and great feedback! I always have so much fun in Joe's classes

Great discussion today! Thoroughly enjoyed it. See you again soon!
