Hello, my name is Joe and I am excited to advance your learning! I have an extensive background in electrical theory, ASL, and pottery. I'm ready to provide you with engaging sessions in which we can focus on your subject needs.

I believe in a student-centered learning environment. Your needs are my priority! I have provided personalized aid to those struggling with certain subject specifics, such as electrical troubleshooting or improving ASL syntax. My teaching style is nurturing, respectful, active, and positive!

Why trust my experience? I majored in Electrical Theory, earning all A's on telecommunication exams including Hitachi. I received perfect A's on my HVAC certification exams including the EPA 608. I have 26+ years of experience in telecommunications/data networking, industrial maintenance, and instrumentation. The past two years I've tutored electrical students between the ages of 20-30, providing one-on-one training and patiently guiding their practical learning. Also, the last 25+ years I've passionately taught life values as a religious volunteer, four of those years in the deaf community. I received high praise in an immersive 6-week ASL course at a community college and a five month course through a volunteer program. I love ASL and immersed myself into continuing to learn from native signers. I provided one-on-one instruction in ASL to students from 15-80 years old and I lectured in ASL to audiences of 60+ people. Lastly, I have 3 years experience in pottery throwing, learning my skills through professionals like Simon Leach. My love for pottery moved me to voluntarily teach 2-3 person group sessions with patience and repetition.

I'm an active member of an international community, which has taught me to be empathetic towards every sort of background, situation, and culture. My interactions with people from many countries helps me to understand various ways of thinking and expression. I'm interested in whatever I can learn from you as well!

Architecture

I have 3 years of experience in wheel throwing and creating functional items such as vases, bowls, mugs, teapots, and lamps. My experience includes wedging and clay kneading (a simple but vital skill if you don't want to come to grief on the wheel!) I create many of my own pottery tools, have refined my own clay from soil, and I also make some of the various decorative elements such as the glazes and wood ash, slips, and metal oxides. I have learned many skills through online learning and have even attended a professional potters' workshop.

Sign Language

Sign Language

Over the last 30 years, I’ve been passionate about teaching life values and Biblical topics to students from 15 to 80 years old. This passion and my desire to help people moved me to learn ASL in order to support the deaf community. I was involved in an ASL workshop, did four years of public speaking in ASL, and used ASL in teaching deaf individuals and others desiring to communicate in this beautiful and vivid language. I eagerly anticipate teaching ASL fundamentals such as vocabulary, facial expressions, sentence structure, fingerspelling, classifiers, and deaf etiquette. Let’s enjoy the beauty of this visual language!
