PrepNow Tutor - Joey H.
Joey is dedicated to helping students increase their test scores and get to the next level of achievement. His expertise covers maths (including statistics and finite math), science (physics, chemistry, and biology), computer science, and test prep (SAT/ACT).
Joey has a BS in computer science from Anhui University as well as an MS in health informatics from Northeastern University. He has been tutoring since he graduated and even founded his own tutoring service, specializing in 3rd-12th grade math and science and graduate-level writing. He has experience working with students with learning differences like ADHD and dyslexia. “Guiding students to build their skills, overcome obstacles, and develop a genuine love for learning motivates me every day in my tutoring journey,” he shares.
Joey’s approach is enthusiastic and holistic, centered on helping students garner the tools and disposition to become successful learners. Having worked with students from 3rd grade to college, he knows everyone learns differently and therefore adapts his methods accordingly. “I prioritize clarity in explanations, active student participation, and the use of real-life examples or analogies to enhance comprehension,” he explains. Ultimately, he wants to instill in his students a sense of purpose, drive, and confidence so that they become lifelong learners.
He’s proud to share that he graduated at the top of his DevOps Practitioner Certificate boot camp–two platforms even featured him on their websites! He’s also jazzed to have received positive feedback from students and their parents over the years.
In high school, he practiced track and shot put; in college, he played on the basketball team. Outside of work, he loves hitting the gym to stay fit and build friendships. He’s also eager to go hiking whenever possible to refresh his mind.
