About Jon


Bio

Are you lost in your Math, Physics, or Programming class? Does it feel like the good students came to class with a rule book that you were never given? Or, did the jump from last year's material to this year, or a change to a new teaching style, or the jump to a new educational level (high school to undergrad, undergrad to grad) throw you off balance and leave you unable to keep up?

You are not alone. Although I worked hard to be a good student and completed my doctoral degree in the...

Are you lost in your Math, Physics, or Programming class? Does it feel like the good students came to class with a rule book that you were never given? Or, did the jump from last year's material to this year, or a change to a new teaching style, or the jump to a new educational level (high school to undergrad, undergrad to grad) throw you off balance and leave you unable to keep up?

You are not alone. Although I worked hard to be a good student and completed my doctoral degree in the challenging subject of theoretical physics, I too have struggled at times. And after years dedicated to studying, teaching, and tutoring physics, I have developed a deep understanding of what separates out the best students. At the same time, after working directly with professors and then teaching my own college courses, I am also aware of the reasons why your professor seems so bad at communicating their knowledge, and what they are expecting from you (even if they don't say so themselves).

I have a PhD from University of California, Riverside; a Masters from California State University, Northridge; and a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, San Diego.

Through tutoring, I enjoy sharing my knowledge of physics, but also hard-won knowledge of the college educational system and how to succeed within it at any level. Instead of struggling on your own, or giving up altogether, work with me and accelerate your success in math, physics, or programming, even up to a doctoral degree in science.

Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability, Introductory Physics, Advanced Physics, Introductory Programming: C++, Python, Mathematica, Matlab, Fortran, Bash Scripting

If any of this strikes a chord, please send me a message and let's see if I can assist you in advancing your science, math, physics, or programming career.
