About Jonathan


Bio

I hold a B.S. from Yale and M.S. from Stanford in biomedical engineering and am completing my engineering Ph.D at Stanford. I have extensive experience in several engineering disciplines, and during my teaching assistantships at Yale and Stanford, I found a passion for helping students develop an in-depth understanding of technical material. My primary goal for students is mastery of fundamentals, which I aim to develop through interactive problem solving and practice.

My primary goal for students is mastery of fundamentals, which I aim to develop through interactive problem solving and practice.

I am always open to taking new students and focus on teaching calculus, physics, coding (MATLAB and Python), and standardized test math prep. Please reach out to me for more information about how I can help or to schedule a session - I am looking forward to working with you!

MATLAB

I have peer tutored the introductory MATLAB course at Yale, working with many students to learn the functionality of MATLAB and useful skills in general computer programming. I have also used MATLAB in my biomedical laboratory research at Yale and will continue next year as a Ph.D. student. Examples of my applications include image processing, stochastic modeling, and scripting macros for external programs, including ImageJ.

Dedicated , Approachable, Problem Solving, Enthusiastic, Considerate, Knowledgeable, Patient

Not only is this guy a outright genius in his teaching style but in his knowledge of the topic. He really understood my standpoint and the need of urgency to help me in my MATLAB class and didn't hesitate to help me through my whole project. He was nice and understanding but also tenacious in getting my project to its very end. If you are indecisive about a tutor you should choose Jonathan because he knows what he is doing.

Great Support & Excellent Tutor

Our class was an awesome experience. Excellent knowledge and flawless delivery of the class. I really enjoyed the time and tutoring with him. We were able to accomplish all the requirements of my work in an excellent time frame and he understand perfectly the task required to be completed.

Edgar, 2 lessons with Jonathan

Knowledgeable and informative

Jonathan helped me with my final project in MATLAB, it was very smooth. We were able to overcome many obstacles and worked step by step throughout the process. I was very pleased with the way he let me think through the code and helped whenever I was stuck. Even if I didn't know some of the basics or syntax he was very informative and let me know multiple options to take.

Michael , 1 lesson with Jonathan

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

He was very knowledgeable in MATLAB and was extremely patient. I was very confused with an assignment, and he knew how to explain everything to me in a simplistic manner. I would highly recommend him.

Edith, 1 lesson with Jonathan

Knows the details and great at teaching!

I had several problems and tough situations with learning about Matlab, and Jonathan really has a lot of knowledge about the programming language. His style of tutoring was absolutely great, because he doesn't just give the answers for step 1, step 2, etc., but he helps you actually understand why and how those work so that you can use those concepts in the future. Highly recommended!

Very patient Tutor

Jonathan helped me with a homework about curve fitting and statistics. My background in MATLAB is not the strongest but he was very patient and understanding making sure I correctly understand every code I was putting in.

Tharina, 3 lessons with Jonathan

Awesome tutor

Jonathan is an incredible tutor. He makes learning fun so even my nine year old son can stay focused during the duration of his lesson. His stellar academic and SAT scores are a testament to the depth of his knowledge. His ivy league credentials are a testimony to his desire to be the best at whatever path he chooses to tread. I would strongly recommend Jonathan as a tutor,
