MEET JOE OF FORT MYERS MATHNASIUM
 

Joe was born and raised in Canton Ohio, but has lived and taught in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and California.

Growing up as a Christian, he has always worked to do good and to instill good work values based from his upbringing.

Loving math and understanding many around him had trouble with it, he would tutor his friends, and it has grown into an avocation. 

Joe started in education in 1996 in inner city Cincinnati.  For the past 7 years, he has been teaching 5th grade here in the Lee County School System.

 


Joe likes to think of his center as a HOMESCHOOL haven. He has been helping parents learn to teach math so they can help teach their children.


A typical day for Joe is teaching at his school, then going to Mathnasium to teach in the evening.  This is a man on an educational mission. This is a man you want helping your kids!

Besides currently holding three degrees in education, he is continuing his schooling by working on two additional degrees through Nova Southeastern University for his doctoral degree in education. He has always loved to work with those that are struggling in math and/or those who feel they just cant do it. Struggling students are a challenge to him, and he excels at finding what works for them.  Seeing "the light come on" and a student "getting it" is his greatest joy. Joe understands that children don’t hate math. They hate being confused and intimidated by math. With understanding comes passion. And with passion comes growth—a treasure is unlocked. Some people are just meant to teach, and Joe is one of them.  Besides, the kids love him.  And they catch his enthusiasm for learning.

Because of his life long interest in education and academic pursuits, he is able to bring a unique perspective to this learning center. He is now intimately involved in the teaching of material, not merely tutoring in it. Math is not a subject where someone can be taught a series of steps and expect to apply them to every single math issue they have. There is a deeper understanding that comes with effectively working with numbers. Because of his grasp of that knowledge, Joe has succeeded in getting students and their parents to understand that. He genuinely searches for what strategy works with each individual learner.

Joe has a 7 year old son who enjoys much of his free time. Though his hobbies and interests lie within the educational realm, his recreational activities include biking and traveling. He also enjoys political studies and hopes to write a series of books soon that focus upon the political world and its affect on educational issues. Currently Joe is part of several business organizations as well as political action groups. He also dedicates time to his church as well as the school where he teaches. He has started many programs at his school, such as adult literacy classes, a math tutoring program, and a committee in charge of reviewing materials to be used in the school to raise the scores for struggling students.
