About Joy L.

5.0

(7)

I have a bachelor’s in English and a master’s in linguistics. I taught English as Second Language in college and university for 30 years and have continued teaching one on one with private students, which is by far my favorite way of teaching! I have always loved language and, from childhood, have had a fascination with other cultures, so my career in English as Second Language has been a great way to combine those two interests. I spend a lot of time planning a curriculum and lessons for each student, based on that student’s level and goals and addressing that student’s unique language needs in his/her life. I never charge for the first meeting because that is a time for me to learn about you, your English, your needs and goals. Among my passions are growing fruits and vegetables, folk dancing and cooking, but working with my students is one of my greatest joys, and I derive great personal satisfaction from it.

Joy is by far the world's greatest ESL teacher. She was my first ESL teacher when I was in college. She had extensive experience with foreign students and knew how to apply her professional teaching skills to individual students to maximize each students' potential abilities by repeatedly correcting mistakes in detail. She handed out her own material every week and her material is by far the essence of English for ESL students. Once I went through her materials with her for about a year, my English has improved incredibly. She is open mind and patient so do not rush students to get anxiety. She is my lifetime companion and the best teacher. I am confident to recommend her. Do not miss the chance of a lifetime to meet the greatest English teacher.

I loved her way of teaching, talking and treating as not only a English teacher but as a friend . When I felt frustration learning English or faced some difficulties of living in the U.S., she always tried to help and assist me heartfully. She even accompanied me to see a doctor when I got medical problem. I was really moved. she is a intellectual and nice person. I am so sure anyone reading this review if you are with her learning English, definitely your English will be way better. She is simply a BEST!!!
