I'm a certified Texas teacher with over 28 years of experience teaching math and physics in high school. More importantly, I've been providing online tutoring for years, even before the pandemic, and recently received training to integrate with Wyzant's partner, IXL.

I've worked with a wide range of students on various topics, including math, science, technology, and more. Recently, I scaled down my tutoring practice to care for my father, a prominent plasma physicist, Dr Herbert Berk, during his hospice care. However, I'm now transitioning back into tutoring full-time and looking to work with students interested in Algebra, Geometry, and Precalculus. As my students progress and IXL expands its offerings, I plan to support Physics and Calculus students again so that my students can potentially work with me for years.

IXL is an excellent suite of tools that integrate well with Wyzant tools, allowing me to provide efficient, precise, and well-thought-out assessments, analytics, curriculum, and instructional resources to my students. However, my Wyzant sessions are personal, 1:1 sessions, where I encourage my students to ask questions and interact with me as we progress. My goal is to make the sessions student-centered, focusing on what the student wants and needs to learn.

I'm excited to meet new students and to experience those "ah ha!" moments together. If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to contact me today. I typically respond within hours, if not minutes. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes.

Christian, 1 lesson with Joseph

My son want to keep learning!

Joseph is a good Math tutor. I searched through many tutors and found him. My son enjoyed working with him. Very helpful! My son want to keep learning! I am so glad about this.

Kate, 52 lessons with Joseph

Mr. B. is awesome!!

Mr. B. is always on point. He gives “educational advice” so my child can work the problems. She is always extremely confident and excited about continuing and succeeding on her own after a lesson.

Kim, 80 lessons with Joseph

Successful lesson!

My 16-year-old hates getting tutoring lessons, so the fact that he liked Joseph was a big deal. We're going to continue lessons because he seems to be able to explain things clearly to my son. We've had other tutors, but my son liked Joseph better! My son was more engaged with him than with other tutors, and that meant a lot to me.

Chris, 2 lessons with Joseph

The progress maker!

He brought out a structured approach to feed the nomenclature in a systemic fashion. Very adept at keeping on task. Very happy as a customer! Brought a positive mood and a patient approach to teaching. Easy to see him again and helpful throughout!

Noah, 2 lessons with Joseph

Highly knowledgeable and fast response

Joe is extremely helpful and his explanation on algebra 2 has help my son in such short notice. He is fast at responding and is willing to make changes in schedule if needed. My son thought he wouldn’t be able to catch up but in just only 3 lessons, he have learned and understand more than being in class for weeks. I see that my son is more confidence and is not afraid to try new concepts.

Suzy, 18 lessons with Joseph

precalculus

provide one to one tutoring; allowing my son to work his problem and the offer guidance instead of doing it for my son, this way constructive learning has occurred

Nadira, 25 lessons with Joseph

New Outlook

Our son said Joseph made solving Algebra 2 equations easier than his teacher. His confidence was increased after only 1 lesson. Will try another lesson next week.
