About

Hello, my name is Josh Greenberg.

For the past six years, I have maintained a steady clientele of students in all areas of math, including Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. I tutor upper level college math courses, as well as physics at both the high school and college level. I also work with clients on SAT and ACT Prep. I have a BA in Mathematics from UConn.

Here is my relevant experience:

Professional tutor: 6 years

Tutor at Academic Success Center of MxCC: 3 years

Volunteer SAT Tutor: 2 years

I have worked with students of all ages in several different contexts. From high school to college to adult education, I have seen it all. This allows me to connect the different areas of math that I teach in a way that a tutor who only specializes in one area of math cannot do. I strive to show my students those connections because that's what gets them excited about math. However, I don't let that distract me from the student's immediate requirements. Homework needs to be completed, and students must be prepared to perform well on tests. I match my teaching style to both the immediate and long-term needs of the student. I also put together practice problems and other materials to reinforce the material covered in my lessons.

I enjoy learning new material the most when I think about how I would teach it to someone else. In college, I helped many of my classmates with the course material. I am especially proud of these moments because it means I had to master the material for the class well enough to teach it to someone else within the same time frame that I had to just learn it.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly. I always enjoy meeting new students!

    Josh is helping me with my college algebra class (MAC1105) he is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable in algebra. Goes over problems and explains well how to complete the problem but also understand it as well as giving you opportunity to complete the problems and ask questions while going over them. Highly recommend.

    My son started off his 1st Quarter of AP Calculus with a D. He was struggling with his tests and quizzes. He closed out the 1st Quarter with a solid B. He’s going into the 2nd grading period with an A! Josh is an exceptional, knowledgeable and patient tutor. His proficiency in Calculus, and his understanding of my son’s skill level allows him to meet him where he’s at. We have gone ahead and scheduled Josh once a week now. We certainly recommend Josh as a Calculus tutor.

    I have always been a below average math student, but since I have been tutored by Josh I have begun to understand math in ways I never had before. Josh explains complex concepts in a way that allows his students to grasp the INTENT of the concepts. It is this intent that allows the language of math to be better understood than with other tutors. Josh simplifies and streamlines concepts in a way that allows his students to succeed in complex math without getting bogged down in minutiae. However, at any point if a student is curious about the intricacies, Josh has the answer. I have never been happier with purchase and will always use Josh if he is available.

    Frequently asked questions

    The first thing I do is get to know the student. Good communication is essential for good lessons, and that only starts with a good introduction. Then, I establish background knowledge, what specifically the student is struggling with, and why he or she is struggling. I also ask about preferred learning styles, short term and long term objectives, and specific trouble spots. I then work to clarify topics and concepts and improve mathematical understanding.

    I began my teaching career by volunteering at my college's tutoring center. I fell in love with tutoring instantly. I started spending all of my free time there, working with students, and improving grades and understanding. I slowly built up my clientele over the years to where I could support myself only from tutoring.
    I've worked with all ranges of students. This includes elementary school, middle school, high school, college students, and adult students returning to college. I've also worked with all levels of proficiency in math. No matter what your current abilities are or how talented at the subject you might be, I can meet you at your level, and your grades and understanding of math will improve.

    While working at my college's tutoring center in Spring semester of 2018, I had two students come in every day for help with MATH 095, which is equivalent to prealgebra. They were clearly struggling and worried that they would never pass that class. Through my teaching methods, they both aced their final exams and the class. It was really incredible to see their improvements over the course of the semester. When they started, neither of them could multiply 6x7 in without a calculator. By the end of the semester, they didn't even need a calculator anymore. I was so proud of them. 

    Most of the time, when a student is struggling in math, it's because he/she is having a hard time understanding the teachers or the textbooks. When selecting a tutor, make sure that he can explain and demonstrate ideas in multiple different ways. Also, make sure that the tutor doesn't JUST to go through problems like a computer. Make sure he/she explains the problems and concepts to you on a deeper level than you would normally expect.

    When paying for a tutor, you should not only expect him to go through problems with you, but to also give you a much more thorough understanding of mathematics.
