Develop strategies for tackling the Free Response Questions (FRQs), making those large, complex problems feel more manageable.
Are you looking to push your grade just a little further, or do you want more practice and guidance to boost your confidence? As a subject expert in both physics and chemistry, I approach tutoring as more than just teaching content. I take on the role of a coach, guiding you through the learning process and helping you develop the skills and strategies necessary to succeed. I offer detailed feedback and encourage a one-on-one approach to help students gain the confidence they need from someone who understands their challenges firsthand.

I am a certified Chemistry and Physics teacher from Texas, with 14 years of experience teaching primarily AP and IB level classes. Every year, I review the materials provided by the College Board, staying current on what they expect and incorporating insights from AP graders into my tutoring sessions. My goal is to ensure you're as prepared as possible, using the latest feedback and exam trends to your advantage.

Beyond the classroom, I lead workshops for AP teachers, sharing my expertise on effective teaching strategies and curriculum design. I also create AP and IB curriculum materials used by school districts, ensuring that both students and educators have the tools they need to succeed.

Excellent!!

Josh is an outstanding tutor. He worked with my daughter to help her prep for her AP Chemistry exam, and her confidence level has soared. She has a teacher in school who doesn’t communicate well which has made for a stressful year, but Josh was able to help turn that around in just a few sessions. He provided her with tons of review, tip, and resources. My only regret is not finding him sooner in the school year. Highly recommend!

Good first session

My son had a good first session with Josh. He threw ssveral questions to evaluate my son’s skill level. They made good connections and jish made him very comfortable. Looking forward for more sessions with josh.

Josh was very knowledgeable

This season with Josh was great! My daughter is in 11th grade and was having a hard time in AP Physics. Josh was very patient and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. The web site is easy to navigate and Josh was timely with his lesson. I heard my daughter say had she taken this lesson before last weeks test her would have gotten a better grade. We plan on using Josh again through out the rest of the year, next year for Physics 2.

great prep for test

Josh took Joshua through units that will support his final in 3 weeks! Great coaching as always on specific units.

important session to clarify gaps

Reviewed 11.1 Electromagnetism to enable Josh to understand gaps that he had after initial learning. Josh needed this session after struggling in a recent physics test

Great prep for upcoming IB test

Enjoyed working through topics 5 and 10 to prepare for upcoming test. Built understanding in session and set further practices to ensure our Josh was in his best place! Recognized the Bucees hoodie too!

useful clarification on gravitational potential energy!

Appreciated the clarification on terms and what do with equations, and as always your demeanor making it easy to ask questions.

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Josh worked with my daughter on a series of chemistry topics. He quickly took away my daughter's panic with the subject and helped her understand and then practice. We are very grateful to Josh!

Knowledgeable and helpful

Josh was patient when I was struggling on finding the right answer, but he helped me apply the concepts I already knew and think about it further. He helped me get the grade I needed on my final to raise my grade to an A!
