About Me

I'm an educator with a decade of experience in group and one-on-one instruction. I hold a Master's in English and a Bachelor's in English and Philosophy. I have worked in a variety of educational settings, serving developmentally and culturally diverse learners from the pre-K to the graduate level. Throughout my career as an educator, I have been responsible for developing and implementing curricula for these learners, upholding and modelling academic and professional standards, representing institutions of learning at conferences across the country, and participating in programming for both adults and children. I prefer one-on-one tutoring and enjoy engaging my students with fun and challenging works. I like to apply literature and philosophy to real world situations to allow my students to fully understand the relevance and necessity of knowing and using literacy skills in their everyday lives. I look forward to meeting you and working with you reach your goals. Please contact me about any questions you may have.

Q&A with Joseph

Teaching is my passion. For me the learning environment provides a forum both for the impartation of knowledge and for the exchange of ideas, those of my students, and those of the authors we read. Through our interaction, I find that I am intellectually challenged and fulfilled. In order to facilitate an intellectual atmosphere that benefits both students and me, I have three pedagogical goals: 1. To encourage students to think critically. 2. To have students analyze historical events from a wide range of perspectives in order to appreciate the complexity of the historical process. 3. To discourage students from taking events at face value, but to have them ask basic questions regarding why events happen, how they happen, and to critically analyze outcomes.
