By providing engaging, hands-on learning experiences, Joe helps students develop essential academic skills, explore new interests, and grow socially and emotionally, all while fostering a love of learning.

Joe holds a master's degree in education and a bachelor's degree in English. With years of experience teaching young children in a variety of settings, Joe incorporates proven tools like FUNdations, Heggerty, Handwriting Without Tears, and Engage NY/Eureka, as well as strategies such as Project Zero Thinking Routines and Zones of Regulation.

Joe's enrichment program is unique because it blends academic enrichment with emotional development.

The ideal student is curious, motivated, and excited to explore new ideas in a supportive and dynamic setting.

Outside of teaching, Joe enjoys spending time with his husband, Will, and their two cats, Roscoe and Miles. A lover of disco dancing, Joe values staying active and carving out time for self-care. He finds joy in helping students unlock their potential and in building positive, lasting relationships.
