Joel Lee

Joel is a native English speaker from the United Kingdom (England) and TEFL-qualified teacher with over 10 years' experience teaching English to students across Asia, from complete beginners aged four right through to teenagers preparing for Cambridge and IELTS exams. He built Kingfisher English's four-stage programme around what he's seen actually work with young learners: short, structured steps, plenty of speaking practice, and a clear sense of progress at every age.

Joel teaches live online in the same time zone as his students — no early mornings or late-night calls to make lessons work.
