Excellent Teacher
Krista, 1 lesson with JosephI had my first tutoring session with Joseph today. He has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. He was patient, thorough and yet very Zen-like in his explanations. It made sense. I no longer feel intimidated to go beyond the basics in Excel. I look forward to my next session with Joseph.
Hello. My name is Joseph.
I have extensive teaching experience, and currently teach a variety of subjects through Cuesta College. I am fluent in Spanish and Italian, and I have written two grammar books on Spanish and Italian.
I am an active astronomer, and have written papers on the measurements of double stars. I am also certified to teach personal income tax preparation.

Knowledgeable and organized.
It was our first meeting. Joseph is clear, organized and knows exactly how to present his teaching philosophy/plan to someone via on line venue. I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him.

Patient and calm tutor. Very knowledgeable
Joseph helped me with intermediate algebra. He is very patient. I have a lot of anxiety over math. I appreciated his breaking down the steps to complete the math problems almost to a task analysis level. Thank you Joseph!

Excellent Tutor
Joseph helped my son study for an Algebra II exam. My son found him extremely helpful in understanding very difficult concepts. I highly recommend Joseph as a tutor.

Experienced, personable, friendly, very well versed in the subject.
Excellent tutor. Well liked by student. Experienced and knowledgeable. Best we've had by far, and we've had quite a few over the years.

Wonderful Tutor!
Joseph is a fantastic tutor! He makes the lessons easy to understand, and my son enjoys working with him. He has tutored in both Spanish and math. Joseph has gone out of his way to email detailed examples of problems my son has had a hard time understanding. I would highly recommend Joseph!

One competent and nice Spanish instructor! Well structured training program! A++
Joseph is an outstanding instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and even wrote a textbook on the Spanish language. He follows the chapters in his textbook for the tutoring sessions. Every hour is a well structured, information packed, learning session. Written homework is included with each session and turns out to be essential to the learning process (never thought I would say this about homework). He has an ability to explain nuances of the Spanish language in understandable terms. He is patient and carefully guides one through the correct pronunciations of words. In addition, he provides supplemental information on commonly used phrases. Unlike so many books and online courses, he teaches you the Spanish that is spoken in America not Spanish from Spain. He sets a high mark for personal tutors.

Systematic and fun.
Joseph has a steady and yet agile style that really works for me as an elder adult. His sense of systems - what to do first, identifying patterns, how to deal with exceptions and so on, is very helpful even if I do not remember them all, all the time - he also has very good jokes in Spanish for me to read and I enjoy his light-hearted and yet comprehensive approach. I am taking a break from lessons due to travel but, when I am back, I will definitely engage Joseph again - with his help my Spanish comprehension has moved forward a great deal.

Great Teacher!
Joseph is an awesome instructor. Very positive and encouraging. He knows his Spanish and how to teach. Both are extremely important to my son who is a not a language wiz and needs lots of support getting through high school Spanish to meet college requirements. Joseph continues to help our son master Spanish with patience and expertise. We are fortunate to have him as an advocate and tutor.

Straight to the point.
My high school junior really felt like her hour and a half chemistry session with Joseph was efficient. He used chemistry in real life examples like cake mixes at high altitudes and water pressure effecting the boiling point. He was patient, thorough and respectful... Thank you Joseph. We'll see you again Thursday and hopefully Saturday too!
