About Jonathan

Bio

I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Sciences in Electrical Engineering, and then went on to matriculate with the Class of 2014 at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. As a proud new father, I have currently taken a temporary leave from my last year of medical studies to tend to my new responsibilities. However, I am keen on using this time to simultaneously teach and thus help others pursue their own dreams.

I spent three years in undergrad...

I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Sciences in Electrical Engineering, and then went on to matriculate with the Class of 2014 at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. As a proud new father, I have currently taken a temporary leave from my last year of medical studies to tend to my new responsibilities. However, I am keen on using this time to simultaneously teach and thus help others pursue their own dreams.

I spent three years in undergrad serving as a Teaching Assistant in Physics II, a notorious weed-out class--there I developed skills breaking down difficult concepts and helping students understand and master the material. The past two years of my life have been very patient-oriented and thus centered on adopting empathy, patience, and active listening. Additionally, I am accustomed to working in a multicultural environment that emphasizes inclusion. I hope to translate these skills to my role as a tutor. I am an accommodating and versatile individual with the talent to develop inspiring hands-on lessons that will capture any student’s imagination and breed success. Moreover, my most recent experiences as a father create the promise for a warm and caring teacher who wants all children to be successful learners. I will work to create a learning atmosphere that is stimulating, encouraging, and adaptive to the varied needs of all types of learners.

GREAT teacher, very patient and determined

I genuinely loved having Jonathan as my ACT tutor. My test taking skills, confidence, and definitely my algebra skills improved dramatically in just a month. He is also very relatable and clearly cares about the success of his students. Highly recommend.

Knowledgeable

Helped me for preparing for my Physiology exam: we thoroughly went over the contraction of a muscle, which was very helpful. We also went over major receptors that will be on the exam.

Highly effective

Jonathan was extremely helpful for our Mech. Engineering student. He cleared up concepts for her in a Circuits class, giving her a new way to approach problems. We will be using Jonathan again.
