About Me
italki teacher since Jun 28, 2016Interest topicWritingReadingFilms & TV Series
Hello! My name is Josh. I am a professional English educator here in Canada.
I recommend all my students to schedule their English sessions at least 1-2 weeks in advance (if possible) in order to guarantee themselves a spot in my calendar and to allow me time for preparation. This means that, unfortunately, I cannot typically accept lesson requests that are sent less than 24 hours before the lesson is to begin–I am sorry.Me as a Teacher
*** OCTOBER/NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE ***
I am available to tutor in the English language 40 hours per week, five days a week, not including local holidays or vacation time (October 4-5, 2024; December 24, 2024 to January 2, 2025).
I look forward to helping you improve your English abilities! See you soon! :)My lessons & teaching style

Thank you very much Josh for every lesson this year. You have been a great tutor who helped me when I felt frustrated about my English. You showed me that making mistakes is natural. Every mistake means a small step forward with my English. Your encouragement, explanations, honesty and guidance have been superb. I wish you merry christmas and happy new year! See you in 2020!

Josh was very supportive and patient. He explains clearly his methods and encourage the conversation. He showed me when I made mistakes, in a kind way, without being rude. He also shows interest in what I was saying, what makes me feel comfortable on keep talking without embarrassment.
