About Joshua


Bio

I am extremely passionate about helping students gain confidence in their upcoming standardized tests, and ultimately, themselves. I initially began tutoring my peers after I scored a 36 in all sections of the ACT in early 2016. At first, the awkwardness of the tutor-student dynamic between me and my peers was difficult for me to navigate, so I dropped the dynamic entirely. My goal is to be more like an encouraging friend. I have found that this strategy can work on students that have tried...

I am extremely passionate about helping students gain confidence in their upcoming standardized tests, and ultimately, themselves. I initially began tutoring my peers after I scored a 36 in all sections of the ACT in early 2016. At first, the awkwardness of the tutor-student dynamic between me and my peers was difficult for me to navigate, so I dropped the dynamic entirely. My goal is to be more like an encouraging friend. I have found that this strategy can work on students that have tried several other tutors with little success.

I learned early on that my approach to math and word problems, as well as testing in general, seemed to differ from the strategies used by those around me. Since then, the numbers speak for themselves. Out of the 50+ students I have tutored for the ACT in one or more categories, the average improvement has been just short of 5 points. I have also successfully taught students ages 12-25 in the SAT, PSAT, ESL, Geometry, AP Calc AB & BC, AP Statistics, and Multivariable Calculus.

I revel in the successes of my students; it's the favorite part of my job. I joined Wyzant because I am looking to expand my clientele beyond word of mouth. I have some experience in group sessions, but I believe 1:1 tutoring is the most effective way to improve scores. I hold a Finance degree from Ohio State, and have multiple years of tax accounting experience at a nationally recognized firm. I have since pursued tutoring full time.

I truly believe all my students have the ability to blow their expectations away, and many have. I look forward to working with you, seeing if it's a good fit, and achieving success together!

ADHD

ADHD

I have had multiple long-term students in the past with IEPs, requiring a different teaching method. In addition to this, when I was younger, I was a camp counselor for children with special needs. I have found that my method of teaching math, focusing on building mental connections rather than focusing on the short-term, has really worked for these students.

Super helpful & was able to help me last minute

We worked on on coupon rate, price per share, present value, and future value problems and how to calculate them in Excel. He did not just tell me what to do but lead me to figuring things out on my own.

The best tutor for Econ & Investments

As a student at UC Davis who is taking advanced Economics classes, I have worked with several tutors prior to Josh and was still finding it tough to understand some complex concepts to ace the midterms. Josh is a saving grace. We started classes and within two weeks, I took my tough Econ final exam and was able to place among the top 5 percent in a class of 200 students. The credit goes to Josh. He comes prepared to ensure lessons go smooth. He wants his students to succeed and grow and is very patient. I’ll definitely be working with him in the future again :)
