Josh Hermanson has been my daughter’s English teacher, Theory of Knowledge teacher, IB Coordinator and Mock Trial Coach at Foothill High School.  His dedication to his students and expertise are rare. I highly recommend Josh to any parents looking to help their students learn and grow. “

Mr. Hermanson is simply one of the best! All three of my children had him for English.  He was an excellent high school teacher that prepared my children to succeed in high school and  beyond.  My children went to colleges that ranged from small liberal arts colleges to major universities and as a result of the skills they were taught by Mr. Hermanson in writing, literature analysis, public speaking, college essay writing, and study techniques they were able to thrive in all academic situations in a variety of majors.  He is well-respected and very much liked by students as well! He was the much sought after English teacher! I highly recommend him as a tutor and mentor.

For several years before our daughters entered high school, we heard several friends and former students insist that Mike Bohen (“Bohen”) and Josh Hermanson (“Herm”), were “must have” teachers at Foothill High School.  Both of our daughters were fortunate to have Bohen for freshman math and Herm for sophomore English and IB Theory of Knowledge.  More than teachers, these men were incredible mentors to our daughters and countless other students.  Even after they have graduated, our daughters have kept in touch with both teachers to seek advice on life beyond high school. With incredible foundation in math and English, our kids excelled on the ACT and are now thriving at USC and UCLA respectively.  We cannot thank Bohen and Herm enough.

Student Testimonials 

Words cannot describe how essential Mr. Hermanson was and is to my academic career. Whenever I needed help with anything, whether that was essay editing, grammar tips, or even just life advice, Mr. Hermanson was always there for me and never failed to go above and beyond in his help. Because of Mr. Hermanson, I not only was accepted to and am attending UCLA, but I also feel more than prepared to tackle college head on.”

Former I.B. and current UCLA pre-med Biological Sciences student

Mr. Bohen and Mr. Hermanson were two of the most outstanding teachers I have ever had. I'm absolutely  atrocious at anything math-related, but Mr. Bohen explained it in a way that never failed to make difficult geometry concepts click in my brain. Mr. Hermanson made me love reading and writing, and thanks to his teaching, I'm now an English major! Five out of five stars: these two teachers singlehandedly made me the academic legend(Bohen's term, not mine) that I was in high school.

Former FHS Honors Student and current English major in college 

Mr. Bohen is one of the best teachers and mentors a student could ask for.  He helped give me the confidence to excel in and out of the classroom, which to this day has made an indelible impact on my life.  Not only does he help distill complex math topics into easily digestible material (which is a feat itself), but his pep talks rival that of the very best.  You couldn’t ask for a better person to help navigate high school academics and life!
