Howdy! My name is Jonathan. I am a graduate of Texas A&M University, where I got my BS in Applied Mathematics. I began tutoring 12 years ago, starting with a position at The Tutoring Center in Texas and eventually going into freelance work and working as a teaching fellow while a student at Texas A&M University for both the mathematics and physics departments. I also taught high school mathematics for two years in the classroom before returning to freelance tutoring work.
My tutoring style employs the Socratic method. I ask probing questions, encouraging students to think critically about problem solving and therefore learn the material as opposed to just memorizing it. This way they retain the knowledge after putting it down on an exam paper, and remain prepared and confident for final exams and future coursework.
I offer tutoring for all ages, at all levels of math, and Chemistry and Physics. Additionally I can help you prepare for the SAT, ACT, or GRE. I am available almost any time of the week, depending on how many students I have at any given time. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you reach your potential!

Jonathan was amazing! He really helped my son with AP Physics. He was patient, professional, and explained everything to make it understandable. When my son took his AP exam, he scored a 4!! We are beyond thrilled and would recommend Jonathan to anyone.

Jonathan is a pro. There are lots of people who claim to be able to teach math. But Jonathan is a teacher full time and can properly explain all levels of math to any student. I am 40 year old student going to back school. Jonathan has been critical to building my confidence and preparing me for school after 20 years!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am happy to offer a discount on a second session, as well as intermittent discounts for weekly clients.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start a session by getting to know the student better, both personally and academically. Then I identify where they need help in their studies and get straight to work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree in Applied Mathematics, and have been tutoring all levels up to Calculus for 8 years. I have worked with students ranging in age from elementary schoolers to middle-aged adults returning to university. Additionally I worked as a high school mathematics teacher for 2 years in both virtual and classroom environments.
