Holy gifted batman! Justin's command of a classroom is amazing.
I learned a mountain of wonderful strategies!
He was so engaging and so entertaining. SUCH a great speaker and so inspirational!
I've never met a teacher more excited for or more skilled at teaching a language through whatever methods work for his students, whether they be formal and traditional or cutting-edge.
Justin was great. I like that he is animated, yet low-key. He inspired me to recommit to a focus on communication as the essential task in my classes.
Quería darte las gracias por la clase de hoy, en verdad fue muy divertido e inspirador. Estaré al pendiente de tu vuelta a México para volver a tomar otro taller. ¡Gracias!
Ausgezeichnet! Your energy and true caring shone through so beautifully.
Justin is an amazing presenter.
One of the greatest teachers I have ever encountered.
His enthusiasm and engagement model so well.
You treated everyone in the class like they mattered PERSONALLY to you. You looked them in the eyes, you remembered their names, you TOLD them they were interesting. You were laughing, they were laughing, and you let the mistakes be part of the fun. Their successes were yours - you were EXCITED by their success.
What I appreciated most was the specific activities I learned, combined with Justin’s willingness to engage with our questions and ideas.
An amazing experience.
Justin's presentation freed me up to do what I have long felt was best.
Your (Justin's) exemplary skills + empathy + humor. An inspiring model.
A totally accomplished and expert presenter! I will be studying this presentation in depth.
The kind of teacher/presenter I'd like to have a beer with.
I learned by experience that I really can do this!
