I received my PhD in Economics from the University of South Florida and Masters of Physics from University at Buffalo. I am currently director of the Human-Centered AI Institute at the University of Houston. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, during which I have taught at a top liberal arts college and top state schools. I have also been faculty mentor to multiple national award-winning teams of students. I tutor in all fields—undergraduate and graduate—of Economics, Data Science, Physics and Mathematics, including dissertation guidance.

With my students, I focus on understanding, problem-solving, and overall intuition in each respective subject. This approach enables students to understand the material they are currently struggling with AND builds learning techniques, problem-solving approaches, and discipline that can be applied to excel in future endeavors. I've worked with many different students throughout my years of teaching and developed my teaching philosophy around addressing my students' needs and achieving their goals.

Please contact me if you are interested in furthering your understanding of Economics, Data Science, Physics, or Mathematics.

Approved Subjects

Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I did my PhD in Economics which includes 2 semesters of game theory that heavily uses discrete maths. I also did my undergrad in math which included 3 semesters. I got an A in all the courses. Now my research involves discrete methods commonly.
Econometrics

Econometrics

I worked at CERN throughout my Physics masters and acquired lots of computer analysis expertise. This was very useful and helped me master Econometrics during my Economics PhD and utilize those techniques in many analyses. I constantly use Econometrics both in Stata, R, and sometimes Excel in my own research.
Macroeconomics

Lori, 49 lessons with Josh

Knows his stuff!

Josh helped with econometrics and Stata homework, walking me through complex problems in a way I could understand. I would definitely use him again in the future!

Samantha Tetrault, 2 lessons with Josh

Educated and patient, excellent communicator

Went over econometric data, complex log models, and interpretation which can be the hardest part of all. Josh was very patient with me as this was my first time running these regressions. He is professional and has great communication with his students.

Pam, 8 lessons with Josh

Look forward to rogorous sessions

Friendly and knowledgeable that I expect we will have good sessions in the coming weeks. I hope that josh finds time to organize dataset for the upcoming sessions

Josh is very smart and relates to the student he makes the student want to be successful. Students like him. He is very flexible with student and will communicate with them at any time if they have any questions.

John, 12 lessons with Josh

Knowledgeable and a great tutor

He helped me to understand the first 3 chapters in physics I for college (vectors, motion in one, two and three dimensions) and how to apply the concepts for solving problems.

Steven, 1 lesson with Josh

Patient and knowledgable tutor

Josh and I reviewed Game Theory and applied it to an extra credit project done for a senior level Economics course. He made sure that I understood the concepts he was explaining and was patient, even if I didn't understand the first try.
