Joshua is a great tutor. He has excellent talent to customize his lessons to fit my needs. I am totally satisfied with his lessons. He has experience living and teaching English abroad. So he has great understanding about living abroad as well as great teaching skills for ESL/ESOL. Also, we have enjoyed hanging out for lunch and local event together after lessons. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing help with ESL/ESOL.

He is extremely helpful and patient. Hunter created the ESL/ESOL lessons focusing on my individual needs, which as result made me more confident in my English. Hunter is very knowledgeable and professional. The lessons with this tutor were interesting and fun. He is very flexible in scheduling and easy to communicate with. He is not only a great tutor, but also a GREAT person who is willing to help. I absolutely enjoyed my experience with Hunter. I would highly recommend him!
Koji M.

1 lesson

She answered so clear and in detail that I can understand perfectly. Whenever I did not understand it in one time, she kept explaining me until I could understand. She always offered a preference of my talking even when she was explaining. She is a patient teacher. I think she has the ability of teaching ESL/ESOL. Besides she taught me business English. I believe she is an excellent and flexible tutor because her personality is suited for a teacher. I recommend her strongly.
