Patient, Effective Math Tutor
Hi all,
My name is Josh. Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a tutor. I would recommend reading some of my students’ reviews to get a better idea of who I am as a tutor, as I am one of the most reviewed tutors in the area.
I have been tutoring full time for a few years now. I enjoy helping others out and seeing them get to the “Aha moment!” Math is my main specialty for tutoring; I can tutor up to Calculus and Statistics and some additional topics, including discrete math, line…
Testimonials
Andrea M. from Placentia, CA I could not have passed statistics without Josh! He helped so much and always had time to meet with me. He is very patient and willing to explain concepts multiple times till you understand it. He is very encouraging and he knows what he is talking about!
Cheryl M. from Hesperia, CA Look No Further. This tutor is the best in all of Southern California.There is nothing worse than working as a single parent of two, one child with Autism, and dealing with all the confusion of academic studies. Upon looking for a tutor I was very skeptical, because so many tutors appear to have the credentials. However, they don't always come through. I found Joshua on this site for tutoring, and he responded in less than 30 minutes. I explained to him the headaches and confusion of my homework assignment, and he immediately made time to give me a telephonic lesson. He is so patient, so clear and has a true in-depth perception of the criteria provided by the school. Students must maintain a 4.0 GPA, and Josh has helped me understand my homework and allowed me to keep that 4.0 in my class. Thanks Josh, for being a blessing to me and my family. A+++
Holly A. from Upland, CA Josh was very helpful, easy to understand, and made the math lesson relevent to everyday life situations. I would use him again and highly recommend him to others who are having a difficult time with college stats (or any other math class). Thanks, Josh!
Soly L. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA I was very impressed with Josh. I contacted three tutors - one didn't respond, another responded two days later and Josh got back to me in less than one hour on the same day I sent him an email. Josh arrived on time, was courteous, professional and very mature. I needed a tutor for my daughter and had him provide me with a tutoring session to see if his abilities and skills as a tutor would meet my expectations. He accomplished to surpass them. I then set up a session for my daughter to see if she felt comfortable with his style of teaching. We both felt he was patient, easy to understand and are confident he will do a great job helping her with the Algebra course. Thanks Josh!
Marilyn M. from Walnut, CA Josh has been my daughter's tutor for Calculus since September 2013 and has taught her Physics sometimes also.

During our first session I knew that I would be working with Joshua again. He has such amazing patience and his ability to clarify concepts and ideas is beyond outstanding. He has a willingness to teach and takes a very gentle approach in doing so. Anyone would be blessed to work with him, and to be able to withdrawal from his bank of knowledge is a blessing all in its own! I would recommend him to anyone struggling with math.
Cindy H. from Chino Hills, CA Josh has been tutoring my high school freshman in Geometry and has been doing an excellent job.

Adrian L. from Fullerton, CA I knew going into my first physics class that I was going to struggle but with the help of Joshua he made it so that I was not completely lost in my class. He was very patient and very very smart, the homework problems we went through in the short amount of time we had was amazing. He also helped me with my calculus class and just getting tutored by him and seeing how he worked out the problems helped me tremendously. Always showed up on time and if I still had some more questions or problems he would always stay awhile longer.

Joshua helped me a lot with Stat; Math is not my subject, I've usually repeated all math courses during my time at Mt Sac.

I highly recommend Joshua, you won't be disappointed!

ROSA S. from Ontario, CA I had contacted Joshua to tutor me in college algebra. I was really struggling with this subject because I never understood my teacher, his lectures were all over the place, and the examples in the book just confused me more. Josh was a great tutor, didn't miss any appointments, he wasn't late, and he was very patient with me, never showing any signs of frustration. He is a very thorough tutor. He walked me step by step through the problems I had trouble on, and would make me figure them out by only guiding me through it, he wouldn't just give me the answers. I was failing my algebra class, getting D's on my quizzes and not completing homework. By the end of our tutoring session, which was the end of my semester, I was passing my tests with a B+ or higher. I would definitely recommend Joshua as a tutor.

With six weeks of Joshua's tutoring he just received his final grade today a C with 72%. I would highly recommend Joshua.
Diane S. from La Verne, CA Joshua was on time and professional in every way. Very knowledgeable in the subject matter. I wish I would have found him sooner.

I would recommend his services to others.

Christina T. from San Dimas, CA Josh is very patient and able to assess what is needed. I had not taken math in a really long time and was faced with a statistics class so I found Josh on Wyzant.
