我自己是一个英语老师，我可以说Joe是我遇到过的最优秀的老师没有之一！同为教师，我简单说几个让我很欣赏的点。
1.他可以很快的发现我的困惑点，并且用简单的语言给我启发，让我能够有能力去解决自己的困惑。授之以渔的老师，才是真懂教学的老师！
2.我跟很多外教打交道，Joe是第一个让我觉得，有外教老师是真的明白我们中国学生的语言学习方式的弊端的，也是真的很用心的帮助我们调整和解决问题的老师。
3.课后也是非常认真负责，看到了留言信息都会回复，绝对不是那种下课了就不理人的老师。还会推荐适合的书籍给我提升，分享自己的视频课程。每次45分钟的课程，我都是收获满满，课后也还有持续学习的内容。真的太划算了！
我强烈的向英语的高阶学习者推荐Joe！

I had a trial lesson with Joe today. He was amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. He knows exactly what he's doing as a teacher and he gave very detailed, personalized feedback on my IELTS essay. I've already booked an actual one-hour lesson with him. If you're looking for a seasoned teacher and a real ex-IELTS examiner, JOE IS THE ONE.

I spent 8 hours in Joe’s classes. He’s a fantastic teacher. I practised IELTS with him, especially the speaking and writing part. Joe asked your plans and prepared well before classes. He would send you the materials you need in advance. As a former IELTS examiner, he gave really useful advices, such as the structure and the words. He pointed out my mistakes both in grammar and vocabulary, and told me how to improve them. He encouraged me a lot. Highly recommend Joe if you are preparing for the IELTS.

I just had my first lesson with Joe, and it was a great experience. He is very calm, patient, and clearly well prepared. He encouraged me a lot throughout the session, which helped me feel more confident. After I answered each question, he gently pointed out the areas I could improve and explained them in a clear, supportive way.
Even from just one lesson, I feel like I learned a lot, and I’m looking forward to continuing. Highly recommended!

Joe is great. It’s fortunate to meet a good teacher. He always divided the complex questions into small parts, then let me comprehend them. Also, he always taught very clearly and logically. It’s very easy for me to understand some abstract information because of his clear explanation. I can see my oral English has improved a lot through those days’ classes. I want to leave thank you here for Joe. Many thanks.
