  • The reason I want to be a tutor is because I like to help students achieve success in a difficult subject such as math.
  • I want to show them even though it is a subject of great difficulty, math can still be learned.

About Me

To learn math is to learn the approach and steps to the problem. The most important thing is to understand why the approach is taken this way or another way. Math is an interesting subject as there are many routes to solve a problem. My goal is to show the quickest/efficient way for students to understand easily and sometimes I will create inventive ways to help students possibly memorize formulas or solve the problems. I hope with each session that each student can learn at least on tip/strategy/concept of the math topic being taught. With that said, the same can be done with chemistry. Chemistry is about a quarter memorization, but more importantly three-quarters understanding. Once any student understands the concepts of a chemistry topic, memorization becomes easy. With chemistry, I will often relate the concept to real life so this way understanding can be much easier. My goal is to definitely guide each student to the desired grade he or she wants.

Q&A with Jonathan

My teaching philosophy is always practice and practice. The more problems the student sees, the more comfortable he/she will become to conquer the subject. How would you help a student stay motivated? I always want them to stay positive and always continue asking questions. Also, I will always give out practice problems to always have them be ready. How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
