Joseph is a 5-star English teacher. Highly qualified and willing to adapt to your needs. He listens to you and has special consideration for your goals. He is very respectful. He's especially good at keeping a positive classroom vibe and building your confidence in talking English. Also another very important thing to mention is that Joseph will keep you motivated and challenged in all his classes. I have almost completed 10 classes and I would always choose Joseph again and over again. Highly well spoken and humble professional is probably the best way to describe Joseph.
