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 and excitement.
