My name is Joshua Lewis and I teach everybody's favorite subject - Mathematics! I have been teaching math for over 20 years - from 6th grade to university-level courses. I hold a Master of Science degree in mathematics from the University of California with many units beyond that - because I am crazy about math! For the past 15 years I have served as a professor of mathematics at the college level.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
