Friendly English & German teacher from Germany 🇩🇪
Based in Takatsuki
Nearly three years of teaching experience
TOEFL iBT: 110/120
Hello,
my name is Josh. I am 27 years old, from Germany, and have been living in Japan for the past eight months. I am currently based in Takatsuki.
Since November last year, I have been teaching English at an international after-school program. Before that, while studying at university, I worked as a tutor at a private tutoring institute in Germany, where I taught both English and German.
I mainly taught elementary and middle school students, but I also worked with high school students and adults.
In many cases, I prepared students for school exams, but I also helped them improve their conversational abilities and build confidence in speaking. Because I learned English as a foreign language myself, I understand the challenges students face and know effective strategies to overcome them.
Some of my students learned German as a second language, and all of them learned English as a foreign language. Because of this, I have experience teaching both languages to foreign learners.
In total, I have almost three years of experience teaching English and more than two years teaching German.
In addition, I volunteered full-time at a kindergarten in Germany, where I learned a great deal about working with children and supporting their development in an educational setting.
I graduated from law school and enjoy staying active in my free time. I am particularly interested in football, taekwondo, and yoga. I also love animals, especially rabbits.
My teaching style is energetic and interactive. I enjoy creating lessons that include a lot of conversational practice and encourage students to actively use the language. Recently, I have also focused on phonics and on teaching expressions that are commonly used in everyday life. At the same time, I place great importance on explaining grammar clearly and helping students understand how to use it in real situations.
Even if you are shy or not confident speaking English/German yet, that is completely okay. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making mistakes.
Possible lesson topics include:
• Conversation practice
• Pronunciation & phonics
• Grammar explanation
• Exam preparation
• Essay writing
• Spelling and writing skills
• Free talk
My TOEFL iBT score is 110/120.
I welcome learners of all ages and levels. If you are motivated to improve your English or German, let’s work together!
Feel free to send me a message even if you just have a question about the lessons. I would be happy to hear from you.
I look forward to meeting you!
