I am a current high school chemistry teacher and have been teaching for the past fifteen years. A little about my background: I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a chemistry degree. The following year, I received my master's degree in education from the University of Illinois at Chicago. During this time I also received my teaching license and have been teaching high school chemistry ever since. Over the course of my teaching career, I have completed two additional master’s programs from the American College of Education: one master’s degree in curriculum and instruction and another in educational leadership.

I have been a wyzant tutor now for 6 years. I love the variety of students that I have worked with. I have tutored students in California, New York, Chicago, Europe, and China. I am particularly fond of the New York curriculum and have a lot of experience tutoring students for the New York Regents Chemistry exam.

The thing I love most about teaching chemistry are those "Aha!" moments and seeing my students' sense of accomplishment shine through after learning a difficult concept. My approach in the classroom mirrors my tutoring methods in that I believe in a problem-based approach. Practice problems are the key to success in chemistry and therefore I always have a whiteboard nearby.

Chemistry is a notoriously tough subject but practice truly can make these concepts easy. Feel free to contact me if there is anything else you would like to know about my experience or qualifications. Looking forward to working with you.

Excellent Tutor! Highly recommend!

I am so glad we found Joshua. My son said he learned more in an hour from Joshua than hours of lecture at school. His grades went from a D to an A . Joshua is a good listener, professional, efficient and very passionate about teaching chemistry to the students. He is always there to respond to any messages I send . We are defiantly going to schedule more lessons with Joshua! Thank you!

Great tutor!

My 10th grade son was looking for a good tutor for his chemistry class. Joshua turned out to be perfect! He’s a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. He’s able to explain things in a way that often help, when my son is struggling with a concept. We’re very lucky we found him.

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Joshua helped my son prepare for a Chemistry test. He understood right away the areas where my son needed help and explained things clearly. My son commented that he wished Joshua was his teacher at school because he explains things so well.

Outstanding

Josh was patient when we had login confusion at the start. My son raves about Josh’s ability to explain things clearly. In fact, my son says if it didn’t cost money, he’d sit and learn from Josh for hours! Highly recommend!
