After taking around 10 lessons, I’ve finally completed 21% of a beginner-level textbook I bought back in 2019🙌 So glad to make progress! すでにC1レベルですが、IELTS8.0と会社でのスムーズなコミュニケーションを目標に、初級の文法の本をゼロからやり直しています。前よりもっと現在完了形の文を会社で自信を持って言えるようになったので、思い切って復習に時間を取ってよかったと思います。本当にありがとう！

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.

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!
