Joseph: DeSoto tutor
Certified Tutor
I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and bring years of experience helping others learn, grow, and reach their goals. My professional background as an investigator and educator has sharpened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and keep students engaged.
I specialize in tutoring English, Psychology, and the Social Sciences, where my training and real-world experience come together to make abstract concepts accessible and practical. I enjoy showing students how the material connects to real life, which not only helps with comprehension but also builds confidence.
Above all, I believe learning should feel empowering. Whether it's breaking down an essay, untangling a psychological theory, or making sense of a social systems framework, I bring patience, structure, and just the right amount of humor to keep students motivated and moving forward.

Outside of tutoring, I’m usually caught up in hockey games (yes, I yell at the screen like the players can hear me), or out riding my motorcycle when the weather’s right. I love to travel — I’ve lived overseas and still have a long list of places I want to see. At home, I hang out with my family and our little zoo: a giant dog named Snow and two cats, Mittens and Marlin. And fair warning: I’m armed with an endless supply of dad jokes and dry humor, so there’s a good chance you’ll learn something and laugh at the same time.
