About
My name is Joshua and I am a student of Education with an emphasis in Mathematics at Western Governors University. I have been tutoring for six years and am looking to use my knowledge and experience to bring a better home-education experience to the community. I have worked with students of varying abilities, disabilities, learning styles, and ages. It's more than tutoring, it's personalized education in the comfort of your home.
Education is crucial for the development of society as a whole and as we progress into the technological age, Mathematics is becoming more essential for everyone to understand. It is a hope of mine that I can prepare the next generation for the great problems of their time; space travel, artificial intelligence, resource production management, all of these complex topics involve high levels of mathematical reasoning and will be at the forefront of the human struggle in the coming decades!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
New students require special attention and care. Developing a successful relationship with a new student is the most important thing a tutor can do, and I pride myself on taking the time to learn what my new students are strong in, struggling with, and their preffered style of instruction so that our time together can have the greatest positive effect possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been tutoring for six years and am currently enrolled in a teacher preperation program to become a licensed, California Seccondary Mathematics teacher. I also possess Associates Degrees in Mathematics, History, and Physics/Computer Science.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing structure is usually $30-40 per hour depending on number of hours per week I am being requested by the individual. However, I do make exceptions for families encountering financial hardships; tutoring should be accessible and I live to make it happen!
How did you get started teaching?
I was first brought into the world of education my sophmore year of high school when my Algebra II teacher helped me get hired by the school district to provide remedial algebra lessons to students struggling in their Algebra I classes. I've been hooked ever since!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with children, teens, and adults ranging in ability from exceptionally gifted students to students struggling with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or behavioral issues.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Math is notoriously tedious and finding success with an educator requires finding someone your student can vibe with and find ways to have fun while they learn.
