Josh's tutoring experience goes back to his early college years and includes work for some reputable tutoring companies and a great deal of private tutoring as well.

He is a natural at explaining difficult math concepts so that anyone can understand them. As he puts it...

"When I tutor the first few minutes I will read the student to figure out what their personality is. Once I see how they operate I cater my tutoring style to them so that they will have the best learning experience possible."
