Excellent SAT English Teacher

My daughter was struggling to get good SAT score in English. We tried different classes, but nothing worked. They all helped her to get 650 out of 800. But improving from 650 to 800 is where the challenge is. Teacher Joe has excellent skills and was able to work with my daughter and helped her score 770 out of 800. She got 390/400 in writing and language, 380/400 in reading. His approach in interpreting the Kid's understanding and finding gaps was really good. Having tried multiple things I am really thankful that we found this teacher for her. If you are looking for someone to improve English scores in competitive exams, I highly recommend Teacher Joe. You will never regret.

Superb English Teacher

I engaged the services of Joe to teach my daughter English. He not only helps her with the school work but effectively uses his experience as an IELTS trainer to help her develop a good hold of grammar, speaking as well as vocabulary.
If you are looking for an English teacher who is going to really upgrade the English skills of your Kid, Joe wouldn't disappoint you.
