Some students prefer conversation, while others focus on grammar. I tailor lessons to your needs, ensuring they’re both fun and effective. My goal is to elevate your vocabulary and expression, both written and verbal.
I use custom learning materials I’ve written provided when needed to help you grow. Together, we’ll work on clarity, focusing on breathing, intonation, linking, and blending words to enhance fluency.My teaching material

What sets Joseph apart is that he doesn’t just focus on parts of english as grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation. He is constantly encouraging to explore English as a whole. Each class becomes a space for reflection about who we want to be in a second language, how we wish to be perceived, and how language shapes our identity. This deeper approach has made learning English not only more meaningful, but also more personal and empowering.
