Our daughter has had tutoring for high level math classes for years and felt she had the resources needed to be successful over the years until recently... junior year, second semester in her honors pre-calculus class, everything suddenly changed. She's an A student and the most recent unit was so challenging for her. She worked with her teacher and tried getting help from different tutors without success. We took a chance one night before her test and booked a session with Joe. Our daughter came to us after the session literally beaming and said she had a huge weight lifted off of her, that she finally understood! She said he had new ways to teach concepts that were so easy to understand. She said he was patient and encouraging and that he would walk her through solving problems in the most effective ways. Joe is truly amazing at what he does, it's no wonder he is so successful!

Nacia, 1 lesson with Joe

Joe worked with our 9th-grader to help her prepare for a math final. Our daughter scored the highest grade ever on the math final after working with Joe. We felt he was extremely prepared for the session and made short work of all the issues our daughter found challenging. While Joe is an outstanding tutor, he is also an excellent coach. Joe helped motivate and build our daughter's confidence. This is no easy feat, given her tendency to be so shy. Joe gets an A+++ in our book!

My daughter was struggling in her Algebra 2 Honors class. Joe is well versed in Algebra 2. He did knowledge checks throughout the lesson, asked a lot questions to make sure my daughter was comfortable with the material before moving on. She asked to do more sessions with Joe. She has tried other tutors on Wyzant, but did not find them helpful. She said the other tutors are good at math, but didn’t explain well to where she could understand concepts. Joe is a keeper! Update daughter looks forward to her sessions with Joe. She said he teaches in a way that makes it easier to understand and she doesn’t dread going to math class. ***update 5/15 My daughter has been taking with Joe since the beginning of March. She feels more confident taking quizzes and tests. Her last few quizzes and test have been 90% - 95%, before Joe, she was scoring 65% - 72%.

My son needed some help with Algebra II and Joe jumped right in to assist with test prep. He thoroughly enjoyed Joe’s style and felt a lot better about his exam after meeting with Joe.

Jose, 8 lessons with Joe

Before my first lesson with him I was feeling very lost and defeated. After my the lesson my confidence was back and I understood the material. After about a week of tutoring with him I have gotten a 100% on 2 quizzes and 1 test!

Sarah, 15 lessons with Joe

Joe has been a great support for my daughter in Algebra 1. She really appreciates his focused approach. Not one minute is wasted, and she leaves her one hour lessons feeling like she's learned more than she has in a week of school.

Joe has tutored my 15-year-old daughter for eight sessions in pre-calculus and we couldn’t be happier. He’s a phenomenal communicator (both with students and parents) and so very organized and reliable. My daughter keeps asking for more lessons. I very warmly recommend him.

Erica, 49 lessons with Joe

I arranged to have Joe tutor my Godson. After the lesson he (my Godson) called to say how awesome the lesson was and how excited he was to learn. We tried multiple ways to get him interested only to have them fail. Joe really is a Miracle Worker!! Thanks Joe!

HI, kids enjoyed your lession. They are eager for your visits. I am glad you found a way for better understanding of math problems. Please keep us posted! We are looking for more lessions.

Armine , 18 lessons with Joe

He encourages me to talk through the problem and when I come across something that needs further explanation he takes his time to explain what went wrong. He also lets me talk it out the I figure out the issue. He is one of the best tutors I have worked with.

Sarah, 15 lessons with Joe

Joe not only helped our son with proofs, but actually explained the applicability of them. He is patient and was really focused on "understanding" versus memorization.

Tom, 1 lesson with Joe

Joe helped me with Advanced Algebra class. He helped me understand concepts by breaking it down and made sure I understood what he was teaching. Thank you Joe!

Lisa, 8 lessons with Joe

Joe is an excellent tutor. He is patient and very thorough. He actually teaches and wants our son to understand the material. Our son has had several tutors over the years. He hasn't felt like they have helped him. Joe is different. After his first session, he said Joe really helped him. He's great. He actually wants Joe to continue tutoring him over the summer in preparation for his Calculus class starting in the fall.

Jovina, 4 lessons with Joe

My son is becoming more confident in his Chemistry and Pre-Algebra classes because of the tutoring sessions he has had with Joe. I absolutely love his approach of having my son explain the problems and their solutions; thereby confirming his understanding of the material. My son definitely seems more engaged. Thanks Joe!

Kineshia, 31 lessons with Joe

My daughter was having a hard time in geometry and Joe helped her so much. We will continue to use him till this course is over.

Kassidy, 10 lessons with Joe

My son was not looking forward to having a tutor. At the end of the session he was glad he did the season and was feeling more comfortable with the material. My son really enjoyed that he was able to go through the material at his own pace and Joe explained in ways he could understand.

Susana, 10 lessons with Joe

Our son's Algebra II grades are steadily climbing, along with his confidence -- precisely what we were looking for. Thanks, Joe! Excellent tutoring!

Terri, 18 lessons with Joe

I’m a forty-something student who has returned to school to finish my bachelor’s degree after taking a break to be a mom nearly 20 years ago. It was a difficult decision to contact WyzAnt because I felt self-conscious and embarrassed for not understanding the concepts that were being covered in my math class. But Joe immediately made me feel comfortable and was able to quickly determine what my issues were. He worked side-by-side with me through the chapter problems and gave me the tools I needed to find solutions. Joe even came up with a formula for an interest rate problem when the book didn’t provide one. This helped me comprehend the word problems I was working on, giving me a better understanding of how to solve for a specific variable. Joe is a competent and patient tutor, and I look forward to working with him in the future, not only in this class but also in chemistry.

CA- on class grade · +17 pts · Middle School Math

Joe has been working with my son for a few months and his math grade has gone from a C to an A-. Joe has been successful explaining difficult concepts in a way that was tailored to my son. Something his middle school teacher was not able to do. Joe is always on time and very professional. I can't recommend him high enough.

Joe is the most skilled tutor my family has ever hired. My younger sister was struggling in her Algebra 2 class, but thanks to Joe, she is now acing it. My parents and I would definitely recommend him!

Karman, 49 lessons with Joe

Joe was very helpful to my two daughters taking their first online class in geometry. He was very familiar with the material, very patient and made the content connections when it was previously unclear. My daughters had tried to get help from other tutors (friends of theirs who are also tutors), but they didn't provide the same level of clarity. I would highly recommend Joe for your tutoring needs.
