ESL Lessons in Waimanalo. Amazing Teachers.

English is a difficult language to learn. I am a patient, thorough teacher and I tailor my lessons to what a student wants to focus on.

I currently work for and have been extensively trained by The VIPKID organization where, over the internet, I teach children from China to speak English. I have won praise from both my students and their parents for my empathetic and patient approach.

I know learning a new language can be intimidating at first but as your language coach,you'll see learning can be comfortable and fun! In my classes, all classes are recorded ( they are private!) I find that our recorded lessons are going to be a great reference when you are practicing and it enhances the atmosphere by you seeing how much you have improved. Every week we will have a conversation based on what we have learned in our prior lessons. You will have access to powerpoints, scripts, recorded lessons and more! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Just click the "ask a question" above or contact TakeLessons today!

I am enthusiastic about ESL because I love doing it! My teaching method is engaging, fun and one-on-one, as modeled after the techniques of online ESL companies which have found great success (i.e., VIPKid and Magic Ears). I have developed curricula for early learning (K3-5th gr), have a degree in English and provide professional writing services for English language documents.

I create an enthusiastic, supportive, and communicative environment. Be prepared for a lot of talking. I want to know what exactly you struggle with, as that will be an indicator of your learning style.

Josh is an exuberant yet down-to-earth teacher. He utilizes storytelling, drawing, and other immersive techniques to introduce others to his native language of English. Having learned a second language in his late teens, he has the perspective of being a complete beginner to a language and a culture (a journey which has completely changed the trajectory of his life!) This ends up making students feel comfortable, curious, and open to learning.

Josh has taught Spanish and English as second languages to children, teenagers, and adults over the past three years. He graduated from Christopher Newport in 2015 with a BA in Spanish and Linguistics. He has taken training in the TPRS (Teaching Proficiency using Reading and Storytelling) method with the creator of the method, Blaine Ray.

Josh understands that a language is a key; it's a key to a new culture, to a new way of seeing the world, to new relationships, to personal growth, to a career. As such, he offers such a key with gratitude ...
