Joshua Lizardi is the founder of Northstar Mathematical Coaching, a 100% online mathematics education company providing one-to-one tutoring for students who need to catch up, keep up, or move ahead.
Joshua holds an M.S. in Applied Mathematics, an M.S. in Data Analytics, a B.S. in Mathematics, and a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics. He has 9+ years of experience teaching mathematics, including college and graduate-level instruction, and has worked with students from middle school through advanced mathematics.
His work sits at the intersection of mathematics, teaching, and educational technology. Alongside classroom and one-to-one instruction, his experience includes curriculum development, remote education, and building technology-supported educational systems.
At Northstar, Joshua focuses on individualized learning: addressing a student's immediate coursework while identifying the foundational skills behind it. His goal is for students to leave sessions with stronger reasoning, greater confidence, and the ability to solve problems independently, not a dependence on someone else for the answer.
