I am currently a college and university teacher with many years of teaching both K-12 students, college students, and adult education students. Subjects I teach include computer networking, programming, office applications, GIS, math, screenwriting, physics, electronics, chemistry and graphics. My bachelors of science is in Mechanical Engineering. In addition I have a masters in Computer Information Systems, a certificate in computer programming and a liberal arts degree. Currently I am pursuing my Masters in Applied Math from University of Washington. I love math and writing. The secretary to the Solano College president once took a class from me and she said to me, "If a student can't learn from me, he or she can't learn." I am well-regarded and loved as a teacher on my campuses. I have often tutored students in various subjects. I love to learn and hopefully inspire that in all that I reach. I use humor and fun and simple explanation to inspire learning.

Expert Tutor

We are a mid-sized business that were looking to use Microsoft Access as a Database for integrating new clients. Joanne has helped us all the way and we finally have our system up and running. She continues to help us in answering all our questions. Joanne definitely knows all the in's and out's of Access and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of assistance in this system.

Lauri, 7 lessons with Jo Anne

Great Teacher and very patient

JoAnne S. has help me tremendously with learning Physics for the very first time! Also the practice problems have been extremely helpful in better preparation for exams. I feel like I can teach someone else what I’m learning and that’s when you know that you understand it!

Talitha, 3 lessons with Jo Anne

JoAnne continues to be a pleasure to work with.

JoAnne is very patient and has been a great help to my son in Algebra and Chemistry. She is encouraging and kind. She has great communication skills when it comes to our appointments and has a positive and encouraging effect on our son. Glad we found you JoAnn!

Lori, 17 lessons with Jo Anne

Good Tutor

JoAnne is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor when teaching SAT math to my child, she found various math basics she had not been taught, I would recommend her.

Geoffrey, 3 lessons with Jo Anne

Really helpful, kind and patient!

She really took time to explain certain steps out. I really appreciate that she explained some of the main principals of algebra too. Shes very kind and easy to talk to so I don't see where I will have a problem speaking up if I don't understand something. I'm so appreciative that she brought me a workbook and worksheets to practice with until our next lesson.

Jason, 17 lessons with Jo Anne

Great Tutor!

I have been meeting with JoAnne for a couple of weeks now and have to say I am very pleased with our lessons. She has a brilliant way of teaching and my understanding of Algebra is far greater in the last two weeks than it has been for the last couple of months, learning on my own. JoAnne is also very friendly and has great people skills. JoAnne's way of teaching is easy to comprehend and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend JoAnne to anyone that is wanting to learn Math quickly and efficiently.
