IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW AND CURRENT STUDENTS: I am teaching ONLY my current students until about March. I might continue after that based on how certain things go and will open it to new students then.
I'm Josh. I'm a TEFL professionally certified English teacher, the host of the YouTube channel "English Hacks", and the author of three books on English learning and one book on general language learning. I have 10 years of experience and have given thousands of one-on-one lessons! I have learned a lot, but I am always trying to improve.
I love languages! I speak Spanish and I have also studied Japanese, German, and a little Esperanto, so I know how difficult it can be to learn a new language.
Ik als leerkracht
Please note that I do not teach beginners or business English
I specialize in American pronunciation training and accent reduction, as well as language mentoring (learning how to learn a language in the way that works best for you).
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I am really good at connecting things, and this helps me to teach you better. I definitely understand how scary speaking can be and I am very patient, so you can relax and feel comfortable with me. My philosophy is to be a guide and mentor who is very focused on your needs and interests and who can give you the tools and information that you need in order to succeed as an English speaker. Because of this, I don't have a specific, rigid type of lesson that is too focused on grammar like traditional classes. Instead, I work with you to create the type of lessons and learning plan that best suit you.

I have enjoyed the classes with Josh a lot!!! He is a very thoughtful teacher who cares and puts a lot of thought into how he teaches. Being calm, patient, and supportive are some of his positive characteristics. I like his caring approach very much! He has an incredible amount of knowledge in what he does, and his ability to articulate what he knows is amazing. I am grateful for Josh's continued support. And I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. 😄
