About Josh


Bio

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hopkins with a B.A. in chemistry, and then continued in organic chemistry at Columbia for my Ph.D. I have enjoyed tutoring chemistry and biology since high school, as I find I learn as much explaining concepts as my students. I have also taught a chemistry refresher course to matriculating students at Columbia, and have been a TA for organic chemistry lecture and lab at Columbia and Hopkins.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I am well-versed in tutoring both chemistry and biology for 10+ years. My graduate and postdoctoral research involved as much hands-on training in molecular biology as synthetic organic chemistry.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I have a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Columbia and a B.A. in chemistry from Hopkins. I have tutored organic chemistry for 10+ years. What makes me good at collaborative research is my ability to explain concepts and describe my thought processes in detail, to break down concepts and talk about each piece and how it fits into the greater whole.

Amazing tutor!!!!

Josh seriously worked his magic with me! We worked on ochem material for a week straight and I went from being completely clueless to getting the grade I needed. I definitely could not have done it without his help. He is well prepared and is very patient. He has a lot of experience teaching and is able to explain things in a clear manner. I'm very happy with my results and I wish I found him sooner.

Great Chemistry tutor

Josh has been tutoring my son, a sophomore in high school, for about 1 month. He is very patient and has been able to explain things in a way that helps my son understand. In the last month, my son's chemistry grade has gone up and he is more confident in the subject. We are very happy with Josh as a tutor and would highly recommend him.

Very responsible and knowledgeable.

Josh is very responsible in teaching my son. Joshua is on top of the material in Chemistry with his higher degree. I am involved in my son's academic progress, and Joshua's communication with me is very good and he sets high priorities on the instruction as well. I highly recommend his tutoring.
