About Joseph


Bio

Hey there!
I’m Joseph. I’m a beginning tutor who has always enjoyed helping people with STEM. Mathematics and Computer Science are my specialities. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing the angles students think from as they learn new material. Every student is different, and I love understanding how one student thinks differently than another. I take my tutoring approach from George Polya’s book “How to Solve It,” which has created waves in the math teaching community.

Hey there!
I’m Joseph. I’m a beginning tutor who has always enjoyed helping people with STEM. Mathematics and Computer Science are my specialities. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing the angles students think from as they learn new material. Every student is different, and I love understanding how one student thinks differently than another. I take my tutoring approach from George Polya’s book “How to Solve It,” which has created waves in the math teaching community.

Tutoring with me begins with a message about the topic you’re looking for help learning. I’ll work with you in the lesson to understand the material and any weaknesses in your foundation that are holding you back. Once the content starts feeling more comfortable, we’ll do some homework questions as a test of your new skills, and you’ll be free!

BA in Mathematics
Top 1% of math scores for the SAT
Algebra 1, 2, Calculus 1,2, Multivariate, Trigonometry, Modern Algebra & Analysis,

I look forward to meeting with you and helping you grow your stem skills! Schedule a lesson soon!

Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I took the Accuplacer at 16 and got near perfect scores in all categories. I then went on to study at a local community college for two years before scoring in the top 1% on the SAT and entering a private school where I would eventually earn my Bachelors of Mathematics. I am a great fit for anyone trying to get ahead on the math or humanities portions of the Accuplacer. Hope to work with you soon!
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I've done High School Algebra for 10 years. I've applied it to Chemistry, Computer Science, and Higher Mathematics in Modern Algebra and Analysis. I am very skilled at finding solutions to such problems, and can teach this very well.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I've done High School Algebra for 10 years. I've applied it to Chemistry, Computer Science, and Higher Mathematics in Modern Algebra and Analysis. I am very skilled at finding solutions to such problems, and can teach this very well.
C++

C++

I studied C++ at an Honors level for a full year and have 2 years of experience programming in C++. I am comfortable with the basics and forte's of C++ and can teach the language at a high school level.
Calculus

Calculus

I've studied calculus both at the applied and theoretical level. I've proven most major theorems in single variable calculus analytically, and can rigorously prove derivatives, integrals, and limits. This is typically satisfactory for most levels of calculus. I look forward to helping out!
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I've been programming for almost 15 years now. Exclusions apply for brevity. General: C, C++, C#, Java, Matlab/Octave, Python, Basic, VBasic, Full Stack: AWS, Apache, NGINX, Javascript/HTML5/CSS, PHP, Node.js, Next.js, React, AJAX, Django, Flask DB: MongoDB, MySQL, MariahDB, PSQL, sqlite3, pickle, mongoose, Theory, AI: tensorflow, pytorch, sklearn, numpy, pandas, cv2, seaborn, matplotlib, openai, Theory, Mathematical Programming: AMPL, Gurobi, CPLEX, Monte Carlo, Topics: Advanced DS & A, Parallel and Real Time Systems, Linux Kernel Development, AI/ML, Linear and Nonlinear Mixed Integer Programming & Optimization, Performance Optimization.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I got an A+ (97%+) in a Discrete Mathematics course at the college level. I'm very comfortable proving lemmas and theorems presented in such courses either by combinatorial or other format. Furthermore, I am exceptionally comfortable with all lemmas in a standard Discrete Math course, and I've helped people with Discrete Proofs from several universities before. Looking forward to working with you!
Drums

Drums

I've been practicing, studying, and performing music for 11 years now. I marched snare in the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade in 2018, performed snare for the Boston Celtics Basket Ball team playoffs 4 times, at Disney, and marched the NYC Saint Patrick's day parade three times. For set, I've studied set now for 6 years, along with symphonic percussion for 11. I'm very well versed in drumset rhythm, dynamics, and tempo, and I can teach this easily. These concepts work very well in the symphonic world as well, and I can teach this easily as well. The culmination of my efforts in these spaces is that I've published albums and was offered a long term percussion position at a music production studio.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I've done High School Algebra for 10 years. I've applied it to Chemistry, Computer Science, and Higher Mathematics in Modern Algebra and Analysis. I am very skilled at finding solutions to such problems, and can teach this very well.
Python

Python

I'm a Computer Science and Cybersecurity Grad Student studying at Washington University in St. Louis and specializing in Artificial Intelligence. I have programmed for a decade now, wrote an app that several Universities adopted as a main departmental communication platform, and do intense leadership in CS spaces. I am an excellent match for Python related questions, and I look forward to helping you with yours!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Helped teach material thoroughly and spent necessary time to review. Great tutor. Was active in teaching style and asked questions to keep interest and relate to real world application.

Chelsey, 1 lesson with Joseph

Understanding and patient tutor

Overall, I think Joseph was hands-down an amazing and helpful tutor. His attitude right off the bat was cheery and full of enthusiasm. The tutoring session was full of helpful information and I got to understand the majority of the problems on my homework. I am not the best at math but Joseph helped explain every concept I had difficulty with. At the end of the session, he went back to reiterate what exactly I had learned in the tutoring session. I would really recommend Joseph for any math tutoring needs as he is kind, patient, and very understanding. One of the best tutors on Wyzant!

Nadia , 1 lesson with Joseph

great at explaining tough concepts!!

Joseph I took the time to review every question I had abs dedicated himself to making sure I understand the material!! He showed me that memorizing formulas isn't the right way to do math, and went into depth behind the theory and concepts of the problems so that I could solve the question efficiently and correctly. Use him!! He also made a note sheet with me for my midterm which was incredibly helpful

Mollie, 4 lessons with Joseph

Patient and genuinely cares about your project.

What I like about Joseph is he asked a lot of questions to get a good understanding what I was wanting to do/accomplish. We clarified what my goals are and put together a strategy on how to go about accomplishing them. I enjoyed my first lesson with him and look forward to continuing working with Joseph.

THE best tutor

Literally the best. I started off not knowing anything and just in a few sessions with him I am knocking through my assignments, understanding what I am doing, and able to debug some stuff on my own. Highly recommend Joseph ! He really makes sure you get what you want out of the lessons. Seriously no other tutor out there like Joseph. He is passionate and really good at what he does.

THE best tutor

Joseph is one of the best tutors I have ever had. Not only does he really know what he is doing and is a great teacher but also he spends the time to ensure that he is giving you the best help he can offer. Really understand what you are trying to accomplish in order to proceed and help accomplish that. He also considers your time and doesn’t take advantage. Definitely get your money’s worth and learn a lot at the same time. I wish all tutors were like him. He is also super friendly and easy to get along with. 100% recommend. Nothing but positive to say about him.
