Hello,
My name is Joshua Skula, I am a 2018 graduate at Messiah College. I previously taught Geometry at the Stony Brook school (NY) for three years and currently tutor in the Lake Mary, FL area.
As much as I love teaching in the classroom, I also have a passion to teach as a tutor. Teaching one-on-one is such a foundational concept that I feel is the most effective way of educating. It is so rewarding to see a tutee grow so quickly through the tutoring process! I also understand that this...
Hello,
My name is Joshua Skula, I am a 2018 graduate at Messiah College. I previously taught Geometry at the Stony Brook school (NY) for three years and currently tutor in the Lake Mary, FL area.
As much as I love teaching in the classroom, I also have a passion to teach as a tutor. Teaching one-on-one is such a foundational concept that I feel is the most effective way of educating. It is so rewarding to see a tutee grow so quickly through the tutoring process! I also understand that this past year has been extremely challenging for students, and I want to help alleviate those pressures!
Whether you adore math or despise it, I hope to shed some light on the subject and at the very least give the opportunity for you to gain an appreciation towards the subject.
I am certified for all math content areas from grades 7-12 in New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
