He would let students think about the process of saying proper sentences so that they would never forget what they had just learned.

I highly recommend Joel as an English teacher- he was one of my tutors during my stay in a language school in the United States! Thanks to Joel I improved my speaking skills massively. His lessons trained my fluency in speaking and enriched my vocabulary. He is also very passionate and encouraging, which is helpful when you want to learn or revise languages.

Joel was my teacher for over a year when I went to DC. Back in 2017. Coming from a Spanish speaking country, I would say I always found difficult to learn English, but he did make the study much more easier and interesting to follow. Not only we went through grammar points, but we also learned through conversational sessions touching a wide variety of topics that interested me. He is a deep and attentive person, always trying to make u feel comfortable during classes, adjusting your personal necessities to make the best of your learning time.

I had class english class with Joel. Joel will always support every individual in the class equally. Everyone in the class get to contribute to meaningful english conversation. You'll always learn something new everyday and you're also allow to make open-ended discussion in the class. I'd definitely recommended.

Taking Joel’s class was a truly inspiring experience. He has a unique and creative approach to teaching that goes beyond the usual methods. Rather than following a predictable structure, his lessons are filled with engaging activities that encourage students to think outside the box.

One of the most valuable things I learned from his class was how to express myself in a more artistic and creative way. Joel didn’t just teach writing. He guided us to explore different styles, experiment with language, and use a wider range of vocabulary. Through various exercises and discussions, I found myself growing more confident in my writing and discovering new ways to bring my ideas to life.

If you’re looking for a teacher who truly inspires creativity and helps you develop your own voice in writing, I highly recommend Joel’s class. It was an unforgettable experience that changed the way I see writing!

Hello, my name is Fernando.
I met Joel through EF; he was my English teacher. I remember Joel as one of those professors who can make a meaningful impact on their students. Joel is the kind of teacher who always inspires you to keep learning, in addition to being very sensitive and attentive to people. I recommend Joel because, beyond being a teacher, he is a person worth knowing. In the process, you are not just learning a language but also gaining insights into his perspective on life.
