Joe真的太宝藏老师了,非常非常认真仔细,才五节课就已经学了很多native的表达和知识,纠正了我很多口语中语法和用词的不精准,适合中国宝宝体质。接下来准备长期上课了。

非常非常好的老师!!我是从2023年开始上Joe的口语课,也推荐给了我的朋友。 一言以蔽之就是博学、耐心、敏锐和循循善诱。在他的课上你不用担心自己说的不好,气氛会非常柔和友好,你能感觉到老师是真的想了解你的所思所想,希望你能自由地表达。同时,老师也能很精准地抓出语法的错误,通过本节课和下节课课前反复的练习,口语语法和使用正确词语的能力都有所提升。Joe也会提供新词让学生学习使用,从而使语言表达更加地道。 此外,Joe很幽默博学,课上和他提到什么他都能知道。而且除了知识渊博外,最重要的一点是他很懂得怎么教授学生知识。一个知识点不理解,他能够通过不同表述来让你深刻地理解词与词的差异。 总而言之,(如果你加上Joe的微信,你就会发现)他是一个非常热爱生活的人,教学中的体现就是他非常投入,无论是对于课堂内容的细致入微还是对于每个学生独特性的珍视。 于我个人而言,我能明显感觉到老师点拨过的领域,我能表达得更流利。乃至后期学习雅思写作时,课上讨论的观点、阅读的文章也于此很有帮助,是有深度的而非泛泛之谈。 Joe值得更多同学的发现!^^

Joe是一位特别宝藏的老师,非常耐心细心,也非常注重跟学生的互动。因为非常喜欢Joe上课的节奏,我已经自觉当一个上课前预习下课后复习做作业的好学生了🤓

Mi experiencia con Joe ha sido excelente. Lo destaco por su paciencia, dedicación y compromiso con mi aprendizaje. Se enfoca especialmente en ayudarme a mejorar mi pronunciación, ampliar mi vocabulario y lograr que pueda expresarme en inglés con mayor fluidez y confianza. Valoro mucho su forma de enseñarme y el interés que demuestra en mi progreso. Sin duda que lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que quiera mejorar su nivel de inglés. Muchísimas gracias Joe.
