Since 2003, I have been an academic tutor and have worked with students from kindergarten through second-year college. As a former teacher with 17 years of classroom experience, I am passionate about helping students gain a mastery of the learning process to maximize their potential as lifelong learners. Subjects I tutor include reading, writing, grammar, math, biology, chemistry, study & organizational skills, and college test prep (SAT, ACT).
"Joel was a fantastic tutor. ... My son was able to regularly connect with him via Zoom and successfully prepare for his SAT as though they were in the same room. He helped my son develop confidence in his abilities and closed some gaps that my son had in his learning. Joel was prepared, punctual, and effective. I highly recommend connecting with him if you have a high school student in need of standardized test preparation.”

"I cannot recommend Dr. Joel Wallace more highly. He helped my partner's daughter prepare for the SAT's, specifically the math portion. Not only did her score increase by several hundred points, she was motivated to try and increase her verbal score as well. She shared that Dr. Joel was patient, motivating, very clear, and best of all, really enjoyable. I highly recommend Dr. Joel for all your tutoring needs."

"Joel did an amazing job working with our daughter. ... He found ways to keep sessions lively, and she looked forward to meeting with him. I was surprised to often hear her laughing during her sessions discussing advanced topics in AP BIology. Working with Joel gave her the boost she needed to succeed in AP Biology. His ability to connect was sensational. She felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated the insight he provided... Working with Joel allowed our daughter to improve her confidence. He is a gem!"

"Joel has done a wonderful job working with our kids. Even though the pandemic forced us to work remotely, he quickly developed a wonderful relationship with our 2nd grader and kindergartener. He gave both a leg up in their schoolwork and more confidence, especially with math and reading. When they resisted work or just were not feeling another Zoom session, he quickly adapted and found ways to keep their interest. Above all, he is a pleasure to work with and has a great attitude - a true lifeline during difficult times!"

For 17 years, I taught science (AP Biology, honors chemistry, human anatomy & physiology, physical science, and STEAM) to students in grades 8 through 12 at four competitive, selective, independent schools. I am proud of the time I spent serving in various leadership positions throughout my teaching career: Diversity Coordinator, Biology Curriculum Lead, and Junior Class Sponsor. I am located in Washington, DC and tutor over zoom anywhere in the world!
