À propos de moi

My name is Joseph, and I am an English teacher from New York City in the USA. I have a passion for teaching the English language to people from all over the world, and am a fun, friendly, and knowledgable teacher! I hope you consider studying with me, you'll be amazed at how quickly you learn!

Though I am comfortable teaching any aspect of English, my specialty is accent reduction and advanced grammar.

I currently study English phonetics and phonology at the University of Illinois in my Doctoral degree, where my major is linguistics. I have a master's degree in Linguistics from the University of Georgia Athens.

I am well-equipped to work with those who would like to achieve a more natural sounding American accent for work or for everyday life.

As you can see from my reviews here on Verbling, I have many happy students, and I would love to work with you to help you conquer your English goals.

I have an unshakable knowledge of English grammar that is unrivaled. When other teachers tell you "I don't know" or "That's just the way it is", as a soon-to-be Doctor of Linguistics, I can give you concrete reasons why English grammar functions the way it does that will improve your English skills confidently and quickly.

I am comfortable teaching any level of student, though those who would benefit most from my expertise are intermediate or advanced students who need help overcoming grammatical hurdles and achieving a more native-like speaking style.

I was also a professional Opera singer for 10 years and as such have the added benefit of learning pronunciation and how to form sound from a more feelings-based and less technical aspect as well.

Other languages:

Estudié español por 8 años, y podría enseñar inglés a hispanohablantes que saben poco ingles. Trabaje conmigo y hablaremos en ingles en un santiamén!

So parlare bene l'italiano e potrei insegnare l'inglese agli italiani che conoscono poco l'inglese.

Sei falar bem português (do Brazil).

Ich habe Deutsch in der Universität studiert, und obgleich meine Deutschkenntnisse schon etwas eingerostet sind, könnte ich English zu diejenigen, die Deutsche sprachen.

Trials are only 30 minutes, so it is important to cover important information about your needs and my teaching style. I spend about 10-15 minutes learning about you and your level of English. For the rest of the class I give feedback so you can see how I would work in a 60 minute class.

After two months of lessons I'm still impressed how interesting it is to learn English with Joseph. His knowledge of English is amazing. He can always give advice how to sound more natural in terms of words I use and also how to improve my accent. I really feel the progress. Highly recommend.

It was a really nice introductory session. Within 30 minutes Joseph thought me rules that I've never heard before and that makes a significant difference to how my pronunciation sounds. I would definitely take more classes with him

I've had four accent reduction lessons with Joseph so far, and I can tell that he's very thorough and pedantic about the pronunciation. He can explain precisely how mouth moves to make certain sounds, and he can convey it in a form that is easily understood.
