Hello my name is Josh I am from Chicago USA and I am very passionate about helping you learn English. After graduating university in 2008, and obtaining a Tesol certification I went to Seoul South Korea and worked as an English teacher there for 7 years. It was an amazing experience and I am very grateful that I took the opportunity to learn Korean while I lived there. In addition to being an English teacher I am also a successful entrepreneur. I started my own online company selling electric bikes and other rideables in 2016 and grew that business and then sold that company in 2019. My hobbies include fishing, yoga, taekwondo,cooking and travel.

We have been teaching with Josh for 12 months since last summer. We are very satisfied. Josh has the ability to organize lessons in a more interesting format if the child is not in a good condition and to bring out his abilities. And Josh has a good understanding of South Korea, so when a child doesn't know a certain word, he can often explain it in Korean. This is a great advantage that is hard to find in native speakers.

Josh is an amazing teacher that understands the IELTS test very deeply and can help anyone to get whatever score they need, even the 9 out of 9. He can point out your mistakes quickly and give you hints about how to improve your English. He is deeply commited to the help you to achieve your goals and is really easy to speak to. Highly recommended!

I've been #talking# to Josh for over 20 classes (if I counted correctly, not 100% sure tho. haha) And I found it easier and easier to express myself without any stress at all. He's done a really fantastic job to let you feel relaxed and comfortable enough to ask, to talk, or to discuss in whatever topics you like at a time. I'd prefer to use the word "talk" rather than "learn" or "study" for this particular reason. If you want to stress yourself out in your lesson, feel free to find other teachers! Kidding kidding! Try him out. Trust me. He won't fail you.
