Sunshine Tutoring

Josephine and her staff are exceptionally gifted at teaching math concepts. My son attends a local high school and needed some extra assistance to master the concepts in pre-​calculus. After a couple of visits, my son’s confidence was restored and his test grades increased. The tutor was able to identify where my son needed additional assistance and taught the concepts in a way that my son was able to easily master his math lessons. Josephine teaches the students how to not only understand the concepts, but seek to become independent learners which is a skill that is needed to excel in college.
Josephine and her staff provide a nurturing environment where all students are able to thrive. Thanks Josephine for being able to relate well to your students and encourage them to excel and master math at all levels. We greatly appreciate you and your staff.

I cannot say enough great things about Sunshine Tutoring. This place has been a godsend in helping me to finish my college math requirements.
Just to give you some background on myself, I am a working mom who decided to go back to school after a 20-​year hiatus. I started working with Josephine in 2012. Math is not my strong suit and I needed a lot of help. Josephine gave me a math assessment to gauge my knowledge, and from there we started at the basics of pre-​Algebra so that I understood the general concepts. That was a huge help because Algebra made NO sense to me.
I experienced challenges with my professors in the beginning because their teaching methods made it difficult for me to grasp the lesson. My Saturday morning tutoring sessions made a tremendous difference in my performance in the class. I honestly don’t think I would have survived without Josephine’s guidance.
Not only did I get tutored, my 3 daughters were tutored at Sunshine as well. I highly recommend Sunshine Tutoring! It made a world of difference for me.

My daughter started attending tutoring sessions at Sunshine Tutoring to improve her grades in her PV7/​8 accelerated math class at Miraleste Intermediate School In January, 2015. We continued attending in September, 2015 when she entered 8^th Grade Algebra 1.
When Ms. Josephine first met my daughter, she noticed that my daughter was distressed about math class because she did not seem able to follow at the pace of the accelerated class. However, after the first few tutoring sessions, Mss Josephine realized that my daughter’s mathematical roadblock was not her mathematical ability, but rather her confidence and understanding of minor, but critical mathematical steps.
At every tutoring session, Ms Josephine was able to gradually ramp up and increase the difficulty of the questions to match what she thought would be tested on my daughter’s tests. Since her time at Sunshine Tutoring her grades have jumped to around the 90s range from high 60s /​low 70s.
Like many students, asking a teacher for clarification of a lesson can be an intimidating experience. Fortunately, during their tutoring sessions, my daughter and Ms. Josephine were able to work through problems together and discover any problems she had. Over time, my daughter became more assertive in asking questions and preparing for the next lesson or test. In the last 2 months, she opened up significantly and was comfortable asking for assistance on concepts she did not understand.
We would certainly continue with Ms. Josephine but since we are leaving California, we will definitely miss having her support. I highly recommend Ms. Josephine because she truly cares about her students and works tirelessly to help them build confidence in their math skills as well as helping them to improve their grades.

I have been going to tutoring here for math for a few years and I have also gotten extra help in the SAT and ACT math sections. The tutors there are super helpful and I would not have been able to stay motivated and pass my classes without them! I definitely recommend Josephine!
