My name is Joseph, I'm a senior at Providence Christian College studying Psychology and Philosophy. I grew up in Orlando Florida, I’m the oldest of four children, and I graduated through the Classical Conversations homeschool program, completing all three levels: Foundations, Essentials, and Challenge A-IV. My favorite subject in high school was Latin, and I briefly tutored it as an 11th grader. As a contractor with Home School Coaches, I offer classes in History, Speech & Debate, and Writing & Composition. For students in Classical Conversations, I offer a special course called Senior Thesis Composition, which walks a student through the Challenge IV Senior Thesis assignment, beginning in August by forming a thesis statement, and moving through three stages of writing development: Invention, Arrangement, and Elocution to prepare for panel defense by April. If I had to capture my philosophy of education, it would be defined by the Roman educator Marcus Quintillian who believed that the character of the student was as equally critical to the student’s success as the intellectual process. By cultivating the mind as much as the heart, students grow as a whole person. My interests and hobbies include traveling, reading, and music making. My favorite place I’ve traveled to is Florence, Italy. My favorite book series is Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games. I also enjoy choir and playing piano in my free time.
