Hi all! From Chicago originally, I have become captivated in recent years with world travel and foreign languages. While studying in Barcelona, I greatly improved my Spanish and enjoyed taking a Catalan class as well! This was when I realized how exhilarating these cultural foreign experiences were for me.
In 2018, I found a job in Germany and I decided why not try to learn German! This was when I really became interested in foreign languages in general. And now I am living in Germany again! I am excited to share my experiences with you!Me as a Teacher
I am a very positive person who has had his life changed through foreign languages. I have learned so much about foreign languages and the language learning process through my Spanish degree in university and in learning German on my own outside of the classroom. Learning a new language truly opens up entirely new worlds of travel, cultural understanding, music, movies, television, and opportunities to connect with new people. I am going to motivate you in your language learning process and encourage you to integrate the foreign language and culture into your life as much as possible!My lessons & teaching style
One thing that I think sets me apart from other teachers is that I will correct you when you make mistakes. This is perhaps the one thing I have been frustrated with on iTalki -- many of my German teachers did not correct all my mistakes, maybe because they did not want to make me uncomfortable. Language learning REQUIRES us to step outside our comfort zone. Language learning REQUIRES speaking and making mistakes, and then LEARNING from those mistakes! This is how we learn. So no matter what focus our lessons take, I will place a huge emphasis on speaking. And I will support you the whole way! The language learning journey can be challenging but it is also EXTREMELY rewarding!5.0

It's so nice to talk to him, I can practice my English a lot. He corrects my mistakes and I love it. He also tells me good stories. Se você é brasileiro eu recomendo o Joe, o tempo passa voando conversando com ele!

Senti Que perdí media hora de mi vida. No aprendí nada, una charla sin interés.
