Hello there! My name is Jonathan (you can call me Jon), and I'm a math nerd at heart who's been lucky enough to turn my passion into helping others. I recently graduated with top honors (Summa Cum Laude!) in Mathematics from San Diego State University, where I focused on education. What drives me to teach is finding creative ways to make complicated math topics easier to understand; using visuals, real-world examples, or tools like Desmos.

Hello there! My name is Jonathan (you can call me Jon), and I'm a math nerd at heart who's been lucky enough to turn my passion into helping others. I recently graduated with top honors (Summa Cum Laude!) in Mathematics from San Diego State University, where I focused on education. What drives me to teach is finding creative ways to make complicated math topics easier to understand; using visuals, real-world examples, or tools like Desmos.
Over the past 4 years, I've worked with everyone from middle schoolers to college students, both one-on-one and in small groups. I loved helping 6th and 7th graders build their confidence in math classes and achieve those "aha" moments when a topic suddenly clicks. At my community college, I tutored students online and in person, tailoring each session to their math needs. Some needed structured, step-by-step guidance, while others just needed a confidence boost. I always start by listening to students, then work alongside them.
To me, math isn't just formulas and equations, but a language that helps us understand the world. Seeing students realize they're capable of understanding math is why I tutor. Math can be intimidating, but I believe anyone can master it with the right support!
