Hello! I am Josh. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor's in Biology. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology where I do phylogenetics research. This field really excites me as it blends the realms of biology, statistics, and computer science.

I have tutored students throughout my undergraduate career, mostly in the realms of computer science and math but am excited to share my passion of biology with folks too. I always enjoy the problem solving aspects that come with learning in the STEM and try to frame learning as a puzzle or challenge to figure out, so be prepared for lots of hands-on and practical examples. I primarily like to work one on one or in small groups as this allows the experience to best fit the needs of each learner.

Extremely knowledgeable - truly the best tutor I have ever had.

Joshua is helping me with data analysis for my master's thesis using sophisticated R functions and statistical methods. As a financially struggling graduate student, I was originally wary to hire a tutor for technical support, but I am thrilled that I did. He has saved me weeks of pounding my head against my computer. On a personal note, he is also extremely patient and polite.

Amazing tutor

Josh is incredible! He is very responsive and super patient. He clearly explained all the questions I have regarding stats and R, and made the complicated concepts so much easier to understand. I really appreciate all the effective examples he provided during our discussions. He did not only help me understand how to resolve my questions, but also shared a variety of tools that I can keep in my R toolkit. I'm grateful to meet such thoughtful and responsible tutor!

Great tutor!

Joshua was a great tutor. He helped me through RStudio and new just how to do everything. He also is good at statistics and helped me with PhD level stat problems. Very patient also. Highly recommended.

Very Helpful

Josh was great at explaining some of the nuances of R that kept tripping me up, as well as walking me through each step of the problems I was assigned. Would use him again!
