Bio

Math may seem like some mysterious subject that only a few can comprehend, but that’s just not the case. Like any discipline, practice leads to proficiency, particularly when it is guided by an expert. Many people were only told what to do but never told why to do it, while others were never presented with an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process. I can help you unlock the mystery of mathematics and get you on the road to comprehension. In my time as a tutor and a teacher, I have instructed...

Math may seem like some mysterious subject that only a few can comprehend, but that’s just not the case. Like any discipline, practice leads to proficiency, particularly when it is guided by an expert. Many people were only told what to do but never told why to do it, while others were never presented with an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process. I can help you unlock the mystery of mathematics and get you on the road to comprehension. In my time as a tutor and a teacher, I have instructed students at all stages of life and mathematical development—from third graders to adults in their 60's, from elementary math to college-level calculus.

In addition to tutoring in math, I also specialize in test preparation. Children and adults alike struggle with test anxiety—but again, it doesn't need to be that way! Improving one's score on a test not only means being familiar with the subject material, but also requires the right pacing, problem-solving strategies, and test-taking skills. In 10 years as a professional tutor, I have helped more than 300 students prepare for the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, GED, and GRE.

Writing is another area where I can provide assistance. For students working on their college essays, I can offer guidance on selecting a prompt, constructing a response, and editing the final draft. If you’re writing a paper, I can walk you through the entire process, from brainstorming to constructing a thesis to finding and citing references to editing. I’ll help you understand the rules of grammar, punctuation, and format, and I'm familiar with the MLA, APA, and Chicago schools of style.

Because tutoring is my full-time occupation, I can meet with students according to their availability, respond quickly to inquiries, and accommodate those who might need "emergency" tutoring. When the school year is over, I continue to work through the summer, meeting students' needs for online courses, test preparation, brushing up on skills, or working to get ahead.

GRE

GRE

Taking the GRE can be intimidating, particularly if it's been a few years since you were in undergraduate school. That's why I focus precisely on what each individual student needs to do in order to navigate the test, from prep materials to a study plan to practice tests. Of the more than 30 students I have worked with, all of them needed help with the Quantitative Reasoning section, so I seek to teach the fundamentals and the test-taking skills necessary to get the score you're looking for.

Corporate Training

Grammar,

Grammar

Grammar, punctuation, and word use are areas that have always interested me. After math and history, grammar is my favorite topic to teach. As an adult, I continue to learn about proper grammar, even reading books such as "The Grouchy Grammarian," which details the 47 mistakes most commonly made by professional writers. I know my grammar, and I know how to explain its rules to others.
Proofreading,

Proofreading

Whether you want a quick proofread or a more extensive copyedit, I can help you with anything you're writing. Once we connect, you can send me your draft, and I'll make sure to correct mistakes, tighten up sentences, and polish your writing.
Statistics

Statistics

Statistics have always fascinated me, and I find them to be one of the necessary foundational pieces of knowledge people need to navigate the world. As a tutor, I have helped students ranging from teens to senior citizens with their statistics courses.

Elementary Education

Elementary Math,

Elementary Math

As an experienced math tutor and certified math teacher, I've seen a lot of student fall behind in math during their middle school years because they didn't have the necessary foundational skills that should have been taught in elementary school. The basics are arithmetic, organization, and following procedure, so I focus on those essentials when I tutor elementary students.

Homeschool

Homeschool

Since becoming a full-time professional tutor, I have worked with more than 20 homeschool students from several families. I have tutored students exclusively online, including three from Taiwan, and I have worked with an entire family (four children) over a four-year span. With both a 6th grader and a junior/senior in high school, I was their social studies teacher, and I served as the math teacher for two homeschool students over the course of an entire school year. My experience ranges from elementary math with a 10-year old to ACT prep with a senior.

English

Since 2014, I have helped more than 100 students prepare for the ACT English Test. My tutoring process includes a review of grammar and writing, as well as guiding students to master the pace necessary to to efficiently navigate 75 questions in only 45 minutes.
ACT Reading,

ACT Reading

While the ACT Reading section is similar to that of SAT from 2016-23, it moves at a much faster pace. Part of my comprehensive ACT prep process is helping students adapt to the required pacing by making quick decisions and recognizing how to eliminate wrong answer choices.
English,

English

The English language has always fascinated me. It's the richest language on earth, but also the one with the most idiosyncrasies. I appreciate those quirks, however, and I actually enjoy grammar and editing. When it comes to helping students with writing assignments, my approach is to make sure that assignment is as smooth and sound as possible.

Using my ability to effectively explain the fine points of grammar, diction, and argument, I have assisted many people with the planning, composing, and editing of their essays and papers. In addition to helping a number of students construct their college application essays, I have provided expert copyediting for final drafts of formal papers. At whatever stage of the writing process you are in, I can jump in and help develop and perfect your paper.

History

American History,

American History

History is something that I enjoy studying and am passionate about learning. As an undergraduate, I minored in history, and after getting my M.Ed. I was certified as a middle school social studies teacher. American history is so often misrepresented in today's curricula, so working with a tutor can help a student get a grasp of the full scope of that history. Over the last decade, I've had the privilege of being the exclusive history teacher for two homeschool students for three full school years.
Bible Studies,

Bible Studies

After years of spending time in churches and religious universities, I have a strong grasp of the structure, message, and historical background of the Bible. If you have a paper in biblical studies, I can help you understand context and determine meaning of whatever texts you're examining.
Geography,

Geography

As a certified social studies teacher, I have taught geography in classroom situations. Geography is one of my fascinations--a hobby of sorts. I thoroughly enjoy studying maps and investigating the links between geography and history.
Government & Politics,

Government & Politics

No subject in recent years has intrigued me more than government and politics. I have studied the Constitution and the history of the court cases dealing with it, and I feel that I am an "expert layman" in that department. My approach to politics is not rooted in any particular political philosophy, but rather centers on historical record, pertinent law, and founding documents. As a homeschool teacher, I was able to guide the governmental and political education of two students for three full school years.
Religion,

Religion

My specialty is the Judeo-Christian religious denominations. For many years, I was a member of local Christian church, and I have attended Bob Jones University and Liberty University. I have taken multiple courses on the Judeo-Christian religions, including courses in the BILD (Biblical Institute of Leadership Development) curriculum. Over the course of about 20 years, I taught Bible courses at the elementary, middle school, high school, and adult levels.
Social Studies

Social Studies

Whether your need is understanding social studies or writing a paper in the social sciences, I can provide expert guidance. For two years, I served as the homeschool social studies teacher for one high school student, and for another year I directed the social studies education of a homeschooled middle school student. At the college level, I have helped more than 10 students write social science papers, walking them through the processes of structure, argument, and editing.

Highly Recommended - ACT/SAT Prep

Jonathan helped all three of our children to prepare for their ACT/SAT exams. They all loved working with him and found him to be knowledgable, approachable, patient, and an overall exceptional tutor. As a parent, it was easy to approach Jonathan and he was quick to respond, and very accommodating to my kids' schedules. His professional integrity was evident in the way he prorated payment according to the actual time the student needed tutoring that week. We warmly recommend Jonathan's services!

Excellent and Knowledgable Tutor

Jonathan has been working with my son to stretch him further with his essay writing skills. Our ultimate aim is for our son to not only surpass his current writing abilities but also to excel in crafting an outstanding high school application essay. Jonathan is professional, focused on my son during the session and gives clear instruction about what he expects him to do before the next meeting. Jonathan is very organized, gives excellent feedback and has detailed explanations. He is easily accessible through the Wyzant app, promptly responding to messages. Jonathan completely understands the writing process and ensures that my son comprehends the essential steps involved. I highly recommend Jonathan for his guidance and expertise in nurturing writing proficiency.

Very Helpful and Patient

Jonathan has been super helpful for College Trigonometry, he is always so nice and easy going and makes sure that I fully understand what I am learning before we move onto another question. He is very patient, even when I ask him to repeat himself multiple times or go over a problem again. I really enjoy working with Jonathan and would recommend him to anyone who would ask me for a tutor.
