Personal Statement

After graduating with a BA in English from the University of Dallas and a Master of Arts from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, I went on to teach classes of 7-12th grade students at Trivium Preparatory Academy in Arizona in English & Math and now work as a full time tutor for all sections of the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, & HSPT.

I love teaching English and Literature because I have a passion for storytelling, and I enjoy teaching Math and Grammar because of their rational nature and...

My son was looking to improve his SAT English score. We had explored various tutors but Joseph demonstrated early on that he was the most methodical. He built a strong rapport with my son, assessed areas of opportunity, and formed a game plan. He was patient, accommodating, and communicative throughout. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Joseph M. was an amazing tutor, who made sure I understood every concept to be covered in the test and definitely helped me with strategies, and the confidence I needed to do well on the SAT! Big thanks to him, I was able to get into one of my dream schools.

Joseph is an exceptional tutor who was pivotal to my daughter's ACT success. With his guidance, my daughter's science score skyrocketed from 31 to a perfect 36, contributing to an overall composite score of 36. Joseph's expertise spans all sections, including reading and math. His dedication and knowledge were evident in his personalized approach tailored to my daughter's needs. If you're searching for a top-notch ACT tutor who can deliver exceptional results, look no further than Joseph.

I hired Joseph to help my son to prepare for his SSAT. My son is particularly weak in reading and verbal sections. He took a SSAT a year before with reading hitting at 66th percentile. We found Joseph on Wyzant and had six lessons with him. During the lessons Joseph practiced readings and analogy with my son, helped him to expressed the thoughts and examined the answers clearly, and taught him several strategies for reading and analogy. My son just finished his SSAT test and got a total score of 98th percentile, with 98th percentile in reading and 95th percentile in verbal. This is a big improvement for him. Thanks to Joseph.

Joseph has been tutoring my 8th grader as he prepares for the HSPT exam. He is able to adapt his pace and style to fit him perfectly and we feel certain that he will be heading into his exam more prepared, calm, and confident.
- Krista C. from Cincinnati, OH
My son kicked off his SAT/ACT prep with Joseph and emerged motivated to exceed his goals. Joseph reviewed his approach to test prep with me before the first session, and he's been responsive and helpful ever since. Most importantly, our son feels confident in the path he's on.

My daughter was looking to boost her score, so I decided to try private tutoring. After throughly reviewing possibilities, we selected Joseph. This was the best decision we could have made. He was knowledgeable, prepared, and worked with her step-by-step. On the day of the test, she felt confident. This is thanks to the preparation she received from Joseph. I highly recommend him.

Joseph is an excellent tutor! He is very knowledgeable and has proved to be an asset. Really glad that I found him on wyzant. I feel very comfortable recommending Joseph to anyone needing help with SAT preparation. Because of Joseph?s help with my son?s SAT preparation, his score improved considerably (1560). This would not have been possible without Joseph?s help and guidance. Thanks so much Joseph! Looking forward to many more lessons with you.

Joseph M. has helped me improve my ACT English score from a 27 to a 34 in about 6 weeks. He has been able to explain English concepts in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Additionally, he has provided me with resources to help with scoring better in specific areas. Furthermore, he is very patient and will explain a concept multiple times until you understand it. His method of going through practice problems together helped me a lot as it was great practice with a knowledgeable tutor to answer questions and explain problems. Finally, communication with Joseph has been very clear and I have not had any issues with scheduling. I would definitely recommend Joseph M. as a tutor for ACT English!
- Aditya K. from Livermore, CA
From the first lesson, he is great in teaching the right approach to tackle the questions. Great in both, math and English with excellent communication in scheduling lessons.

I have had SAT Reading/Writing lessons with Joseph for the past 6 months (prepped for two rounds of SAT) and would like to say that he has been very helpful in providing personalized help and advice to me in my SAT prep. As a student who has always been stronger in STEM, I have consistently struggled more in English, especially the Reading section. Joseph taught me a lot of helpful tips and tricks to use on the test, which I used during the SAT. These tricks worked very well for me and my score exceeded the 1500 mark for the first time. He was patient with me as well, which I appreciated :)
- Hane L. from Potomac, MD
Joseph was one of the best SAT tutors I've ever had. His tips and tricks on the SAT effectively helped me to boost my score. Before, I had no confidence and struggled with the reading and writing section of the SAT, but his advice helped me to quickly identify and solve the problems. Not only is Joseph good with the reading portion, he is also extremely familiar with the math section too. His easy-to-understand explanations really helped me.
- Kitty T. from Brooklyn, NY
My son's HSPT score was not strong enough to get accepted into the honors program at the high school he wanted to attend. He had a formal practice exam and ended up in the 70th percentile. I hired Joseph to help my son bring his score up. They worked together for about 3 months and he was able to help my son get his score to the 85th percentile which will allow him to be in honors classes now. We were thrilled! Joseph was great for my son and very easy to connect with for him. My son said he really helped him understand the mistakes he was making and gave him strategies to help bring his score up, which worked. I highly recommend Joseph!
- Sharyn E. from Northridge, CA
Joseph helped our daughter prepare for the ACT. Over there short time together her scores on practice tests showed significant improvement and she will be going into the exam much more prepared and confident than she would have otherwise. Joseph is patient, professional, and very response to questions. I highly recommend.
- Howard E. from Princeton, NJ
Joseph is helping my son outline and draft some essays. His comments are insightful and relevant. My son appreciates having the feedback and someone to assist him in establishing a path forward. Highly recommend!
- Michelle B. from Gainesville, FL
My son really felt a sense of empowerment and confidence after their session. He had a clear path forward to the next meeting. We look forward to continuing more sessions with Joseph!
- Justin R. from Sandy, UT
Joseph is a great tutor. Strategic and hands on at the same time. He looks at the full picture and thinks outside of the box. I also like his pace, toughness and business approach. He has helped Anna a lot and she significantly increased her score. I would highly recommend Joseph.
