I restarted learning English from an absolute-beginner textbook to understand every single grammar point correctly and to become a proficient user(aiming IELTS7.0!). Joseph is one of the greatest teachers on italki! Thank you so much for your support!!🕺🪩✨

Joseph is one of the best teachers I’ve had on italki thus far. You can keep talking and he listens attentively. A teacher who is willing to go the extra mile to source for information. If you are looking for a teacher whom you can converse freely and get feedback, I highly recommend Joseph!

Joseph is a very great conversationalist and listener. Even if we've talked about it before, even on topics like work and food, we always find new details worth talking about. I feel like I've been on a professional and culinary journey with him or wherever else our interests took us. Our conversations are very down-to-earth, I appreciate that a lot.
