I graduated college with degree in early childhood education. I have been an elementary teacher for 8 years. I teach reading, writing, and math. I enjoy finding different and creative ways to teach different lessons. One of my favorite things about teaching is working with a student and seeing them transform from struggling to having that "lightbulb" moment where they finally understand the material. I have experience working with learning disabilities and am passionate about finding methods of learning that helps all kiddos regardless of how they learn.

Joshua is a fabulous person and tutor. He takes the time to get to know his students and connect with their interests and lives. This personal connection builds trust with the student and creates a calm, relaxing environment that is conducive to learning. He is patient and positive. He builds the student’s confidence, but also holds them accountable in achieving their personal best. Joshua recognizes and embraces that each student works at his or her own pace and in a unique way. Joshua works well with all ages. He knows how to connect with teens without being condescending. He speaks to the student in a respectful manner, this is very important to my teen. My daughter has been working with Joshua for over two years on a weekly basis. He has helped her mature and strengthen her writing skills and has helped her feel more compitent and confident in math. We are very grateful to have his help!
