After graduating with a BA in English from the University of Dallas and a Master of Arts from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, I went on to teach classes of 7-12th grade students at Trivium Preparatory Academy in Arizona in English & Math and now work as a full time tutor for all sections of the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, & HSPT.

I love teaching English and Literature because I have a passion for storytelling, and I enjoy teaching Math and Grammar because of their rational nature and the enjoyment that comes from solving logic puzzles.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy going to the movies, spending time with my five younger brothers and sisters, and volunteering within MENSA. I believe that learning can always be made fun and is extremely rewarding when you put in the work. I look forward to sharing my love of all these subjects with you as a future student, and I look forward to meeting you!

120 Point Increase in Six Weeks

My daughter was looking to boost her score, so I decided to try private tutoring. After throughly reviewing possibilities, we selected Joseph. This was the best decision we could have made. He was knowledgeable, prepared, and worked with her step-by-step. On the day of the test, she felt confident. This is thanks to the preparation she received from Joseph. I highly recommend him.

knowledgeable and clear explainer

He was clear, concise, and very patient! I was able to understand the concepts that I was perviously struggling on. He taught me tricks and tips for the SAT that really helped me understand the information.

Best tutor ever!

My daughter received an amazing score of 35! He was a tremendous help to my daughter and this wouldn't be possible without him. She was stuck at a 31 before Mr. Joseph, and he single handedly brought her up to a 35. He is the best ACT tutor, don't think twice!

Sitara, 9 lessons with Joseph

Exceptional Tutor

Joseph is an exceptional tutor. My daughter’s ACT composite score increased from a 28 to a 33, with one of the most impressive gains in the Math section, jumping from a 21 to a 31 in just a few months of tutoring with Joseph. He was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and most importantly, he connected with her right away. He explained things clearly, patiently, and in a way that resonated with her. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for effective, personalized ACT prep.

Joseph was very well prepared for my son's first tutoring session. He looked over the material my son has been learning, and my son said he had a much better understanding of the material now. We look forward to his next lesson!

Jim, 9 lessons with Joseph

Great tutor for both parts of the SAT!

Joseph helped both of my boys in prepping for the SAT and they thought he was great (much better than other tutors they had tried). Joseph takes the time to really work through problems and ensured they had a solid understanding of the content.

Transformed My Son’s ACT Score – 28 to 35!

Joseph was an incredible tutor for my son, helping him boost his ACT score from a 28 to an outstanding 35 in just 23 lessons. His patience, deep understanding of the test, and ability to break down complex concepts made all the difference.
