Testimonials
“Joe is good at encouraging his coachees to express themselves with confidence and discover their strengths."
Yu Peng, Youtube Engineer
“Joe is really great at finding your communication gaps. This is so useful because you can focus there and make significant improvement faster. Joe will also deepen your understanding US culture. I definitely recommend Joe. I can feel that I talk more with friends and teammates. It is hard to list all the cases but I can feel I have become more confident. I used to be very nervous if I had to talk with other Googlers but now, I feel much more comfortable."
Bo, Google Engineer
“Before working with Joe my pronunciation could be wrong but people rarely corrected me. I wasn’t fluent in expressing my ideas clearly and would hold off speaking up. After taking classes with Joe, I am confident walking into any scenario to listen to others' statements and express my ideas freely. And, I will ask clarification questions unhesitantly when I am not following what is going on."
Xue Mei, Facebook Engineer
“Joe helped me become a confident and effective communicator in English. His language coaching improved my pronunciation accuracy, sentence structure, and speaking flow. Because he knows Chinese well, he helped me accelerate my learning with strategies that fixed my weaknesses. He also knows Google culture very well and taught me to customize my way of talking according to different work scenarios. Joe is an awesome coach who helped me not only use English to communicate better but during the Covid turbulence and other times of workplace stress, his personal touch kept me calm, clear and focused."
Jimmy, Google Engineer
