Justin

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of North Texas, where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in Finance and Financial Services. Upon graduation, I began working in the mortgage industry as a Loan Officer and later as a Mortgage Broker. After a successful career in the Finance Industry, I decided to pursue my other passion in Computer Science, and began working for Fortune 500 companies such as Dell and IBM as a Network Software Engineer. I should mention that I have my certifications in A+, Network+, CompTIA IT Operations Specialist CIOS Stackable, MCP, IBM AIX, and AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Solutions Architect Associate . A few years later, I caught the travel bug and decided that I wanted to travel and teach English, so I obtained my TESL Certification from Oxford Seminars at the University of St. Edwards in Austin, Texas and moved to Taiwan where I began my ESL teaching career, where I taught ages 7 to 22 years old. During my time in Taiwan, I was awarded a scholarship for a 1-year Intensive Mandarin course. In addition to Taiwan, I have lived and worked in Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Peru, and I am fluent in Spanish. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my primary focus is on professional certifications such as A+, Network+, AWS; however, I also help prepare for students with TOEFL and SAT entrance exams, as well as helping foreign business professionals improve their Business and Legal English. I am also a Business and Marketing Strategist and Consultant with over 15 years of experience. I am passionate about helping students achieve the success they desire and helping them overcome the barriers that prevent them from having that success. In my experience, success is determined not by what talents or skills you may have, but how much time and effort you are willing to put into mastering those desired skills. As stated by the "10,000 Hour Rule" by Malcolm Gladwell, only after you have dedicated yourself to 10,000 hours of work towards a specific skill can you become a master at it. In my experience, I find this to be true with myself and with my students. Outside of teaching, I practice meditation, yoga, and exercise daily as a self-discipline. I also enjoy cooking, traveling, reading, writing, learning new languages, nature hikes, waterfalls, Permaculture, Finance/Investing/Cryptocurrency, and taking care of my two beautiful dogs. I am focused constant personal development and I am dedicated towards constant self-improvement. If you are ready to take the steps towards improving your own personal development to achieve the success you desire, schedule a class today and I will help you on your path to success.
