Are you looking for stellar results when it comes to your SAT, ACT, or GRE score? Maybe you're searching for better Math and English grades. Perhaps you are looking for a fine-tuned and polished college essay that will make you stand out from the myriad of other prospective candidates.

My name is Jon. Over the last 15 years, I have tutored and taught hundreds students of all ages these skills and more. I've taught in schools, tutoring programs, Kumon, and privately while I developed the art of tailoring lessons to individual students and simultaneously applying a proven and effective method.

My results speak for themselves. Students who work with me score an average of 170 points higher on both SAT sections, and 5 points higher on the ACT. Results like these exceed the vast majority of even 'elite' prep schools, at a fraction of both the cost and time. I've worked with students of all levels- those struggling to keep up in school to those looking for just a few extra points in order to push them to the highest echelons.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
• The student and the teacher together create the teaching. There is an overarching method that can be applied in tailored ways.
• Practicing tests exactly as they will be taken in critical. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
• Overcoming anxiety is a matter of exposure rather than avoidance.

My sessions are done online through a free whiteboard, graphing software, and face-to-face video. Through screen sharing, students will see everything on my computer, just like an actual classroom. Online tutoring results are the same, if not better, than in-person lessons!

My time is limited, however. As a full-time working data scientist, I only have so much availability. It is also important to me that I limit the number of students I have at any one time so as to provide top service.

I offer a free 30-minute consultation, so let's chat!

Warm Regards,
Jon

Guitar

I have 15 years of experience playing guitar, both acoustic and electric. I have a reasonable understanding of guitar theory, but I believe music is about your ears so I play and teach through an attention to the actual sound being emitted from the instrument.

I have played poker successfully for 10+ years. I have read numerous books on the subject (Super/System, Every Hand Revealed, Mike Caro's book of tells), watched hundreds of hours of professional players, and have thousands of hours of logged personal experience. I understand poker for what it is - a microcosm of life that incorporates many different skills. I have a deep love for this game.

Willing to learn

After 2 sessions, Jon has helped my ncreased my Son’s confidence level and his grades have definitely improved to where he wants it to be, we will definitely continue sessions

Kemi, 15 lessons with Jon

Excellent tutor

This was my son's first tutoring session with Jon, but from the moment I walked in the door, my son talked about all that he had learned from Jon. I wasn't there to observe this visit but judging from the good report I received from my son and husband, we will be looking to use him again. Thank you kindly.

Bobbie, 15 lessons with Jon

Patient and thorough.

Takes time to assess the need at hand. Very good at communication of where my son is and needs to go. Wish I could have him see my son three times a week! Very up to date and current in his knowledge for what is being taught in school.
