Osama • 2024 , Student of Teacher Josh
You will be surprised by the methodology of Joshua's teaching and his skills in classes. He is really smart and every time he pays attention to your improvements needs. I am enjoying a lot this time in learning and he is an absolutely awesome coach.
"Josh is the both the friendliest and most competent supervisor I've ever had. It is such a good work environment there. I feel fortunate to have been able to sit in on his class, as well as receive feedback from him on my classes, because he's also a great teacher."
Joshua Cropsey was one of my teacher at ELS. He has a nice ability to connect with students. Also, he has strong written and verbal skills. His positive attitude toward students translates into a classroom atmosphere of learning and respect. I believe that he will be very successful at whatever he puts her mind to. Regards, Amal
