About Joshua


Bio

I have experience tutoring students of all levels (from elementary to adult-level) on reading and math. Throughout this time, I've come to enjoy watching students improve and gain confidence in their work. I have also taught seventh-grade classes at my school as part of my mathematical independent study project, so I have experience in a classroom setting. My past students have experienced huge gains, going from 2/3s on the ISEE to 6/7/8s within a few months. My students focusing on the...

I have experience tutoring students of all levels (from elementary to adult-level) on reading and math. Throughout this time, I've come to enjoy watching students improve and gain confidence in their work. I have also taught seventh-grade classes at my school as part of my mathematical independent study project, so I have experience in a classroom setting. My past students have experienced huge gains, going from 2/3s on the ISEE to 6/7/8s within a few months. My students focusing on the SAT/APs had similar improvements. While these improvements did require a lot of motivation and going through exercises to gain experience, I would like to believe that my tutoring helped them master difficult concepts even beyond what showed up on their exams. Finally, I graduated from St. John's School in Houston Cum Laude. I was also my school's presidential scholar candidate nominee (requiring the highest SAT score for a school). While I can help or use flexible styles of teaching, my preferred method is directed questioning as in the Socratic method. Currently, I am in my second year at Imperial College London School of Medicine and was within the top 10% of my class in the first year.

I have experience teaching students how to develop mathematical ideas for themselves and gain a greater understanding of formulas and theorems. I obtained a perfect score in the mathematical sections of the SAT and the math SAT II test. Some of the more advanced math classes I've taken include AP Calculus (5 on the AP), AP Statistics (5 on the AP), Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Intro to Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Complex Analysis (as an independent study class).

Hopefully, you will be interested in having me as a tutor, and I am generally easily accessible for scheduling or other questions.

Some of my successes include:
-Helping a student get into one of the top HS's in the country through their performance on the ISEE
-Helping students succeed in AP exams (Calc/Bio/Chem)
-Helping a student im

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I received a 5 on the AP test for this subject (BC LAB). I also went on to take several further maths courses such as Multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, partial diffeq, and complex analysis. I have a firm understanding of concepts as well as Mathematica, which is often integral to this course.
ISEE

ISEE

I've taken the ISEE twice and received all 9's both times. I also have experience preparing students for the SAT/PSAT. I have a firm understanding of the concepts required for success on both the reading/math sections and am well prepared to help instill them into new students.
Mathematica

Mathematica

I have completed numerous projects for school including but not limited to analysis of images by deep learning, usage for calculus, modeling real life applications, mapping, and computing. As part of my linear algebra course, I have dealt extensively in optimizing code and the multiple Mathematica functionalities including use for higher level mathematics/Calculus/Differential Equations/Linear Algebra. I regard myself as fairly proficient in it and can use almost all of its major features. I can create a variety of small projects for a user to get up to speed with it.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I have edited (for payment) several web novels and also have experience editing for analytical writing/biochemical papers. Many of these novels were noted for their grammatical consistency and ease of reading.

Knowledgeable, engaging, professional, and VERY responsive.

We contacted Joshua last minute to help with a Math coding program. Joshua was very responsive and communicative, and he was really able to explain the program in an understandable way and help navigate through the work. We will definitely be using Joshua again!

Chrissie, 1 lesson with Joshua

great ISEE tutor!

Provides great techniques to my 10-year old son to help him ace the verbal portion of the ISEE and kept him very engaged.

Alice, 10 lessons with Joshua

Great teacher! Patient and clear explanation!

My daughter had her first lesson and was happy about the result. Joshua asked about her learning needs and objectives and guided her through some of the math concepts patiently and clearly, with homework for her to practice after the lesson. Look forward to our following sessions.

Very bright and super patient

Joshua is very bright and super patient. He doesn't go the easy route and wants to make sure my son knows the materials, and not just be able to take a test. He does know many math shortcuts that I didn't know, or maybe just forgot over the years, which are very helpful in saving time. He is very methodical, thoughtful and super patient, in a way that I couldn't be. Are the lessons super fun for my son? No, but I see great improvement in his math in just 2 weeks and my son says he wants to stick with him, so I'll take it! Whether or not he gets an 8 or 9 on the ISEE, I feel good knowing that my son is learning new math concepts and is already ahead of the public school curriculum, which can only benefit him in middle school.

Engaging, knowledgeable, and responsive

My 10-year-old just started lessons with Joshua to prepare for the SSAT. We are doing 3 lessons/week for the next couple of months. We are excited about how much he is learning already, and Joshua is extremely responsive and flexible.

Tania, 9 lessons with Joshua

Great Tutor!

Excellent tutor, very patient when going over the materials that was being studied. He took his time going over the questions. I wasn’t afraid to ask questions.

Yvonne, 2 lessons with Joshua

Wonderful communication

We've only just begun to tutor for the ISEE with Joshua but he has taken time to talk with me (the parent) and give detailed strategies of how he plans to move forward with my child. We very much look forward to working with him.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Very nice and knowledgeable. He went above and Beyond my expectations. He helped me organize my thoughts onto paper and checked my grammar along with my punctuation. Thank you !
