About Me

I've loved learning and sharing knowledge with others as they follow their path. Teaching and tutoring has provided me with opportunities to meet people from all over with different backgrounds. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and something to contribute. And to my surprise, it was teaching, in fact, that taught me more than studying ever could. I hope to be able to share my love of learning with you! I have approximately a decade's worth of study in the French language and French acquisition both domestically and abroad. Along with French, I have significant hours of study in university-level German. I am conversationally fluent in other languages such as: Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, and Mandarin Chinese. In addition to my foreign language study, I am certified to teach English to non-native English speakers (TESOL). Furthermore, I have a wide knowledge of various fields in linguistics such as: Phonetics/Phonology, Syntax, Sociolinguistics, Second Language Acquisition, and Romance Phonetics. As for my future, I am working the Master of Business Administration. With an MBA and my understanding of foreign languages and their respective cultures, I aspire to take part in today's growing global market. Given my desire to be abroad and my experience with other cultures, I look forward to working with others both domestically and internationally.

Q&A with Joshua

I enjoy creating a relaxed atmosphere which promotes conversation. During most learning situations, the active skills (i.e. writing and speaking) are held to a minimum on the student's end; however, by reducing stress in the classroom, more dialogue is fostered. This capitalized on eustress and creates conversation in which the student does not have to worry about asking a 'dumb' question or feeling out of place. Furthermore, teaching a semantics-based learning technique, the student acquires knowledge not only actively, but passively, as well. This allows for better memory retention, and cuts back on the urge to binge study and forget.
