About Josiah
I am a Mechanical Engineering student with a GPA of 3.7. This means that including having a strong grasp on math and physics, I am also sharp on the subjects as I am still using them in my day to day life.
Knowing the struggle of being a student in the STEM major I am patient with my students and try to explain the problems from different points of view.
Understanding something after being stuck on it for a while is a very satisfying feeling and one that I've had my share of. This is what I want to pass on to others as it is a fulfilling feeling when you are able to use your gifts to help others achieve their goals.
I have always enjoyed math and trying to break down the subject for those who might find it intimidating. As I started college I enjoyed it more as I realised how hard certain subjects could be and the importance of having a teacher who is patient and really knows what they are talking about.
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at UCF in my final semester. By doing this 4 year course I have come across many diffrent teaching styles and have also identified the most effective ways of learning for myself.
I use the experience I have gathered, the pros and cons of different teaching styles and combine them to best assist my students.

As styles of learning vary significantly from student to student, I first try to understand the thought process of each student and taylor my method of teaching to suit that best.
Generally, I use a wide range of exaple problems/ analogies, so that the student most likely will undterstand it from one of the angles.
I have worked with a wide range of students thus far, from the age of 13 or 14 to college students. Some of them naturally understand after briefly explaining whereas some need more detail breakdown of the process. This is where experirnce comes in because in some classes in college I needed the instructor to go step-by-step even if it may seem trivial to them, which is probably the case for most students while tutoring.
I would say, to the best of your ability try to make sure they have the experience needed in the area of expertise. But before officially hiring them you could have a brief discussion to help the tutor better understand what concepts you need help with and most of the time you can get a feeling whether the tutor could be a good fit.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I think the main thing is trying to explain to the tutor what exactly you are struggling with. As a student I sometimes found it to be very tricky to pinpoint the hard part because I felt like I didn't know where to start. In this case I found it to be very helpful to go through a practice problem and ask questions whenever you feel like you are even slightly unsure.
