Bio

I have spent 15 years in higher education training to be an electronics and communication engineer. This major is considered to be one of the most mathematically-demanding engineering majors and I have therefore acquired a high level of mathematical sophistication.

I have spent 15 years in higher education training to be an electronics and communication engineer. This major is considered to be one of the most mathematically-demanding engineering majors and I have therefore acquired a high level of mathematical sophistication. Over the years, I helped tutor many of my peers in undergraduate- and graduate-level classes. As I started pursuing my master's degree, I became a part-time teaching assistant for 4 years and I developed my natural knack for explaining difficult concepts in an engaging way as I held recitations and lab sessions in 6 different subjects. While pursuing my PhD, I also taught a lab for undergraduate students and taught a couple of guest lectures in my advisor's graduate-level classes. I have also developed (from scratch) and taught continuing education classes for young engineers to teach them programming skills in the context of electrical engineering.

I have consistently received solid positive feedback from my students, especially focused on my approach of asking questions and letting the learners answer them to either discover the concepts for themselves or to bring out common misconceptions so they can avoid them (commonly known as the Socratic method of teaching). I find teaching very rewarding and love the look in my students' eyes when I can see that understanding has finally dawned on them.

I'm happy to work with the specific needs of students and/or parents to help them achieve their academic goals.

Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I have a PhD in electrical engineering with 5 years of teaching experience. My dissertation focus was on analog integrated circuits but I also have a strong foundation in analog and digital signals and systems.
Linux

Linux

I have been running one Linux distro or another at home since 2009: started on Mandriva then moved on to Debian and eventually settled on Arch. I have been a Linux sysadmin at a small startup and a university research lab for 4 years. At my job, I use commercial IC design software that runs exclusively on Linux so I have been using Linux every day for the past 15 years.

He knows what he is doing

Joseph is an great tutor. I had a few areas of confusion from my course, and during our session, he addressed each one thoroughly. The best part was his patience and willingness to let me ask questions non-stop until I fully understood the topic. He explained the nuances of complex concepts effectively and clearly. Additionally, if I sent him material ahead of time, he would take the initiative to prepare a tailored lesson plan. For example, when I logged into our session, he already had multiple whiteboards set up with examples and a timeline of study materials that we would cover. This level of preparation and dedication made the sessions incredibly productive, and I truly appreciated it. Joseph’s expertise is evident, and he clearly knows what he’s doing. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive tutor!

Simardeep, 12 lessons with Joseph

Expert in EE Course Topics

I had not been able to find almost any resources on that internet that could help me solve circuits with zero state and zero inputs. Joseph knew exactly how to approach these problems! He even related topics in other courses too, which helped me gain a better understanding of the content.

Giselle, 2 lessons with Joseph

Patient and knowledgeable Tutor

Joseph is very knowledgeable about complex materials in my signal processing class! He has solid understands of the material (Fourier Transform, LTI systems, PFE) and provides excellent explanations. He explained a lot of topics in a short period of time when I had time-constraints.

Padmapriya, 2 lessons with Joseph

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Joseph is helping me with my Analog Signal Processing class and he has been really great! He prepares well beforehand and explains difficult concepts in a more manageable and easier way. I am very grateful for Joseph and highly recommend him.

Mazen, 30 lessons with Joseph

Great explanations, very knowledgeable signal processing tutor

Joseph is very knowledgeable about complex material in my analog signal processing class! He deeply understands the material (Fourier Series, LTI systems) and provides excellent explanations and ways to connect it to what I already know. He also offers helpful problem-solving strategies and corrects my mistakes. I am looking forward to taking more lessons with him!

Clear, Patient, and Extremely Helpful!

I worked with joseph for Digital Systems 2, and he was honestly one of the best tutors I’ve had. He’s super knowledgeable and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. Even the tricky topics felt manageable after going through them with him. What I really appreciated was how patient he was. If something didn’t click right away, he’d take the time to go over it again without making it feel rushed. He made sure I understood the "why" behind everything, not just the steps. After our sessions, I felt way more confident in the material and in tackling problems on my own. If you need help with anything Electrical Engineering related + other subjects, I highly recommend working with him. He knows his stuff and really cares about helping you understand.

Amazing tutor

Joseph is the best when it comes to teaching. He has a knack of making tough topics simpler and makes me to explain entirely what I learnt , so I can be corrected where I do not understand. I completely vouch for him. You will not be disappointed with his lessons.

Nandan, 16 lessons with Joseph

great tutor

Joseph taught me a first-year graduate topic in electrical engineering. So far, I had only one class with Jospeh, but it will not be the last. His patience and ability to explain difficult things are outstanding.

Sonja, 4 lessons with Joseph

Provides simple and easy explanations

I felt very lost in my engineering class, which covers convolution and Fourier transform, until I met Joseph. He answered all my questions and broke down difficult concepts into smaller chunks, making them easier to understand. He reviewed the material in advance, so we were able to start the class right away. I'm looking forward to taking more classes with him!

Melissa, 3 lessons with Joseph

Probably the only tutor who actually knows how to do CMOS related topic

Joseph is a fantastic tutor, he walked me through working on a CMOS related topic, which not a lot of tutors can actually handle. I went through like 6 tutors trying to find someone who can teach this topic, and Joseph not only can teach this, and is excellent at teaching this as well.
