Public Speaking

The ability to speak in public is a valuable skill which applies to many jobs and positions. As a teacher for more than 20 years, I know the value of this skill, and I have developed it fully. A good speaker will have a prepared topic, and know how to deliver a speech effectively. Preparing a speech requires a knowledge of the topic from which a coherent presentation will follow. Speech delivery requires a high level of enthusiasm which will be sensed by an audience. These skills and attributes are essential to my success as a teacher.

Excellent Teacher

I had my first tutoring session with Joseph today. He has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. He was patient, thorough and yet very Zen-like in his explanations. It made sense. I no longer feel intimidated to go beyond the basics in Excel. I look forward to my next session with Joseph.

Krista, 1 lesson with Joseph

Knowledgeable and organized.

It was our first meeting. Joseph is clear, organized and knows exactly how to present his teaching philosophy/plan to someone via on line venue. I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him.

Cheryl, 7 lessons with Joseph

Patient and calm tutor. Very knowledgeable

Joseph helped me with intermediate algebra. He is very patient. I have a lot of anxiety over math. I appreciated his breaking down the steps to complete the math problems almost to a task analysis level. Thank you Joseph!

Thelma, 2 lessons with Joseph

Excellent Tutor

Joseph helped my son study for an Algebra II exam. My son found him extremely helpful in understanding very difficult concepts. I highly recommend Joseph as a tutor.

Scott, 3 lessons with Joseph

Experienced, personable, friendly, very well versed in the subject.

Excellent tutor. Well liked by student. Experienced and knowledgeable. Best we've had by far, and we've had quite a few over the years.

Barry, 3 lessons with Joseph

Wonderful Tutor!

Joseph is a fantastic tutor! He makes the lessons easy to understand, and my son enjoys working with him. He has tutored in both Spanish and math. Joseph has gone out of his way to email detailed examples of problems my son has had a hard time understanding. I would highly recommend Joseph!

Natalie, 10 lessons with Joseph

One competent and nice Spanish instructor! Well structured training program! A++

Joseph is an outstanding instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and even wrote a textbook on the Spanish language. He follows the chapters in his textbook for the tutoring sessions. Every hour is a well structured, information packed, learning session. Written homework is included with each session and turns out to be essential to the learning process (never thought I would say this about homework). He has an ability to explain nuances of the Spanish language in understandable terms. He is patient and carefully guides one through the correct pronunciations of words. In addition, he provides supplemental information on commonly used phrases. Unlike so many books and online courses, he teaches you the Spanish that is spoken in America not Spanish from Spain. He sets a high mark for personal tutors.

Systematic and fun.

Joseph has a steady and yet agile style that really works for me as an elder adult. His sense of systems - what to do first, identifying patterns, how to deal with exceptions and so on, is very helpful even if I do not remember them all, all the time - he also has very good jokes in Spanish for me to read and I enjoy his light-hearted and yet comprehensive approach. I am taking a break from lessons due to travel but, when I am back, I will definitely engage Joseph again - with his help my Spanish comprehension has moved forward a great deal.

Andrew, 5 lessons with Joseph

Great Teacher!

Joseph is an awesome instructor. Very positive and encouraging. He knows his Spanish and how to teach. Both are extremely important to my son who is a not a language wiz and needs lots of support getting through high school Spanish to meet college requirements. Joseph continues to help our son master Spanish with patience and expertise. We are fortunate to have him as an advocate and tutor.

Fran, 12 lessons with Joseph

Straight to the point.

My high school junior really felt like her hour and a half chemistry session with Joseph was efficient. He used chemistry in real life examples like cake mixes at high altitudes and water pressure effecting the boiling point. He was patient, thorough and respectful... Thank you Joseph. We'll see you again Thursday and hopefully Saturday too!
