    How I Work With Kids
    • To keep my students engaged during sessions, I mostly lead with questions and discuss the topics being covered rather than lecture. Generally, my goal is to keep lessons fun and interesting regardless of age or subject.
    • I highly value my students’ curiosity and individual interests, and always praise them for their efforts, questions, and sense of humor. 
    • I firmly believe in developing long-term relationships with my students based on mutual trust, respect, and appreciation for each other’s idiosyncrasies.

    What Parents Say
    • “Before our son's tutoring began, he was not the least motivated to improve his reading comprehension skills. Now, after three months with Joe, not only has our son improved, but he also looks forward to his tutoring sessions now. We cannot thank Joe enough!”
    • “Joe helped me improve my reading and writing skills in the short period of time that we had together. He was very knowledgeable and did really well explaining certain areas that I struggled with. I am looking forward to more lessons with Joe.”
    • “My son struggled through math all year. After 2 sessions, he feels like he’s really catching on. Joe can break it down so he can understand it. My son actually looks forward to his sessions!”
    • “Joseph is my AP Chemistry tutor. I was having trouble comprehending many of the concepts that I was being introduced to in class, and Joseph was able to break the concepts down and take things at a pace in which I was able to learn well. Upon my request to book a session, he was very prompt and replied immediately. He was on-time for both sessions and was very accommodating. Since seeing Joseph, my first graded assignment for AP Chem improved tremendously (12.5/13). Thank you, Joseph, for all of your help; I plan to book many more sessions with you throughout this school year.”
    • “Joseph made a strong impression on my 9-year-old son right away. He is professional and positive. He is respectful and sincere in his conversation and instruction, and my son responded to that immediately. Joseph is well-organized and efficient. My son is motivated to continue working with him and is gaining interest and confidence in his spelling abilities. Mahalo Joseph!”
    • “Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable about the ACT test according to my daughter. She felt he was very helpful and specific in helping her achieve some understanding of the test in a short amount of time.”
    • “My daughter needed some help reviewing for her biology test. Joe was extremely patient with her and thoroughly explained the material so she could understand it. We will definitely use Joe again!”
    • “Joseph is currently tutoring me in chemistry and precalculus. He is very patient and has great attention to detail when explaining concepts. He won't let you move on to the next problem until he is sure you understand the ins and outs of the one before it. He also tries to offer several different explanations for a single concept in order to appeal to your individual understanding and ability. Chemistry and precalculus have become less scary with Joseph's help. Don't hesitate to choose him as your primary tutor!”
