Joshua: Santa Clara tutor

Certified Tutor

As a passionate educator pursuing a Master's degree in English at Northeastern University, I specialize in post-1930s American literature, focusing on graphic novels and innovative storytelling formats. With experience in essay editing and reading comprehension, I have developed a student-centered approach that tailors lessons to individual interests and needs, fostering engagement and genuine learning.

I believe that effective teaching is about more than just preparing students for tests; it's about helping them articulate their thoughts and connect with literature in meaningful ways. I am particularly enthusiastic about introducing young readers to new forms of literature, as I find that graphic storytelling can spark their interest and enhance their comprehension. My goal is to empower students to express their unique voices through writing, guiding them on their literary journeys.
