More About Me

Welcome to Aroha English, where language learning is infused with love and cultural connection! My name is Joshua, and I am passionate about teaching and educating those who are eager to enhance their English language skills.

Having experienced the challenges of learning Japanese myself, I understand the unique struggles that learners face, especially when it comes to mastering English. That's why I created Aroha English - to provide a supportive and enriching environment for individuals seeking to broaden their knowledge of the English language, particularly those coming from a Japanese-speaking background.

You might be wondering, why "Aroha"? In New Zealand, where I hail from, "Aroha" signifies love. And love is at the heart of what I do. I aspire for my students and everyone connected with Aroha English to develop a deep affection for language and culture. I believe that by fostering a love for language, we can explore and appreciate the nuances of different cultures, bridging gaps and forging connections in the process.

At Aroha English, we go beyond mere language instruction. We delve into the intricacies of culture, history, and everything in-between, weaving together a rich tapestry of knowledge and understanding. My goal is not just to teach English, but to empower individuals to navigate the world confidently through language.

So, whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the basics or an advanced learner aiming for fluency, Aroha English welcomes you with open arms. Let's embark on this journey together, fueled by a shared love for language and a curiosity for the world around us.
