Joe Lucero has been teaching classes with Manhattan Prep since 2010 and has helped thousands of students through his teaching, tutoring, forum postings, and blog updates for the company.

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame in 2005 with a biology degree, Joe began his teaching career in a middle school classroom, teaching math and science in Brownsville, TX through Notre Dame’s graduate ACE program. Three years and one master’s degree in education later, he moved to Fort Worth to combine his love of science and teaching at the Fort Worth Zoo, where he ran the zoo’s summer camps, taught in elementary through high school programs, and helped with animal handling and presentations. Whether working with 2-year-olds or business school applicants, Joe’s passion for teaching keeps classes engaged whether he’s holding an Expo marker or an American alligator.
