Hello, my name's Joe. I'm a professional, CELTA qualified, English teacher with 9 years of teaching experience. Before becoming an English teacher I was a corporate lawyer specialising in business law.
I love music and I’m the singer in a band called Mosaic. I’m also into healthy living. I workout regularly, meditate everyday, play football and love cooking.Ik als leerkracht
If you want to:
1. Sound more professional at work.
2. Work for an international company.
3. Move abroad to work or study in English.
4. Develop your communication style.
I can help you.
I was a corporate lawyer for 5 years, a business English university lecturer for 3 years and a business English teacher for some of the largest corporations in the world. I've taught English in Japan since 2016. Before joining italki I was the headteacher, at the flagship school, of the leading English language institute in Japan.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My focus is on creating enjoyable, interesting, discussion based lessons where I ask the questions and you do most of the talking. I write all of my own lessons and often include videos, self assessments, text analysis, listening exercises and role play to make each lesson unique and engaging.
I will be taking thorough notes throughout the lesson, employing a range of instant and delayed correction techniques to improve the accuracy of your English. You will receive a document, to help you to review and improve your English, at the end of each lesson.Mijn lesmateriaal

I began my English journey six months ago with Joe's group lessons, and they've consistently been productive, meaningful, and engaging. Joe is always well-prepared, sharing materials before class and sending corrections afterward. I appreciate his corrections and constructive feedback, and at the same time, I admire his character and truly enjoy his lessons. I'm excited and fortunate to continue my learning journey with him! Thank you so much!

I'm grateful that I learn something every lesson! I actually want to look further into the analysis of the impact technology - especially AI - has had on the job market for the past couple of years.
Thank you as always and hope to see you again soon!!

Thanks for today's lesson! I'd like to look more into the factors that have shaped the population change graphs of each country. Classes with Joe are always intriguing and sometimes challenging, which is great!

The biggest positives for me: I can choose the topic (especially from law), we analyse the legal text and discuss it. Joe taught me how to evaluate the text critically like a lawyer. Also, Joe corrects my vocabulary and pronunciation if I slip. It's 60 minutes of high value communication. I would continue writing, but nobody has time to read a novel!
