About
Hello! I am a dedicated STEM tutor with over 15 years of experience helping students from kindergarten through college excel in math, physics, and beyond. With a background in astrophysics and hands-on experience at NASA, Tesla, and Dusty Robotics, I bring a real-world engineering and scientific insight into every session. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps, while building confidence and critical thinking skills in students with diverse needs. Whether it's test prep (SAT, ACT, AP, IB) or foundational learning, I tailor each lesson to fit the students' needs and learning styles.
I am also fluent in both English and Spanish. I’m currently based in the San Jose area and am available for in-person sessions locally or remote sessions.

You can immediately tell Josh has a super strong STEM background. He doesn’t memorize formulas or teach shortcuts—he understands the material deeply enough to explain it in several different ways until it clicks. My son had been struggling with physics and Josh was very patient and understanding with him. Absolutely worth it!

My daughter went from feeling completely lost to earning a B after working with Josh! The turnaround happened much faster than we expected. Beyond improving the grade, Josh actually taught the material in a way that stuck.

We came to Josh because our son was struggling in Calculus II, and within 2–3 weeks the difference was obvious. What seemed overwhelming became manageable, and the grade improved from a D to an B+. Highly recommend him to any parent!
