About Josiah
I'm a certified ESL tutor with a TEFL certification and a bachelor's degree in foreign languages. I've taught English to students from various backgrounds in both classroom and in small-group tutoring settings, including time spent teaching abroad in Central and South America. I know what it’s like to learn a new language, and I bring that same empathy and understanding to every lesson I teach. My students describe me as patient, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I take time to understand your goals and tailor each session to your learning style. Whether you're preparing for travels, moving abroad, looking to improve your speaking confidence, or looking for pointers on how to improve your grammar or pronunciation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Learning English doesn't have to feel overwhelming—we’ll take it one step at a time, together.

As a TEFL-certified English tutor with a bachelor’s degree in foreign languages, my teaching approach is rooted in empathy, clarity, and practical communication. I’ve taught students of all ages and backgrounds—both in the U.S. and abroad—so I understand how important it is to create a learning space where students feel supported and confident.
I believe language learning should feel natural, engaging, and personalized. My lessons are highly student-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your goals, learning style, and pace. I often incorporate real-life language, visuals, and conversation practice to make learning meaningful and effective. Because I’ve studied and spoken other languages (like Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Arabic), I know how intimidating it can be—and how to break things down in a way that’s encouraging and doable.
A typical lesson may include:
A short warm-up or review
Focused practice (conversation, grammar, vocabulary, etc.) using real-world examples.
Corrective feedback and guidance in a supportive, non-judgmental way.
Optional homework or follow-up suggestions to keep progress going.
What sets me apart is my ability to connect with students on a personal level and adjust in real-time based on their needs. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all instruction—every learner is unique, and I work hard to make sure you feel seen, heard, and understood.
My lessons are great for:
Middle school, high school, or college students needing ESL support.
Adult learners improving English for work, life, or travel.
Anyone seeking a kind, patient tutor who’s been on both sides of language learning.
If you’re looking for a tutor who teaches with both structure and heart, I’d love to help you grow in your English skills and confidence.
