My name is Josh Gholson. I am providing the most fantastic English language learning experience to students of all ages from a varyingly diverse set of cultures and backgrounds. Often my students describe me as a counselor or mentor; likewise as a dedicated inspiration in their lives, as I am young, and yet have accomplished so much. I specialize in building impenetrable bridges into people’s lives with witty insight and questioning designed to make my students become wiser and learn English with every lesson. I have written four fantasy novels which speak for themselves in their breadth and ingenuity. I have taught executives and management to become experts in every aspect of English as well as have increased their confidence, fluency, and articulation through my dedicated teaching and tutoring whether that is in a course of days, weeks, or months as it depends on the student.
