Greetings!
I am a Colorado-licensed, AP- and IB-trained English instructor with seventeen years of classroom teaching, tutoring, and editing experience. For the last eight years, I've also taught a highly successful PSAT/SAT/ACT prep course and counseled students as they navigate the college selection, application, and essay-writing process.

My first goal is to determine your abilities and then, to give you a variety of resources, direct instruction, and guidance so you can achieve your ambitions. I can help you if you are a high school freshman struggling with grammar and composition, an English language learner with your sights set on a competitive undergraduate program, a college student who feels as if you're in over your head and need some review, or a rising professional who would like to tune up your communication skills.

I have found that the right tutor at the right time can make a profound difference in a student's intellectual identity, confidence, and long-term prospects. I will devote myself to helping you reach your goals.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Very Knowledgeable tutor!

Jon's been working with my son for two weeks and I'm already seeing an improvement in my son's approach and confidence to the subject. He's even sharing knowledge with his siblings. Thank you, Jon.

Excellent teacher! We are grateful.

Mr Waugh has been invaluable in teaching, guiding and mentoring my son in the arts of writing and organizing his thoughts. We have seen a significant improvement in his writing in a relatively short time. We are thankful and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Great Lessons

John is a very thorough and methodical teacher. He prepares beforehand, whether it is reading an essay or preparing grammar practice. We are very thankful for that, and his practice problems have helped Jake to understand grammar much more. He is passionate, very detailed and patient. We will continue to use him as Jake has learned so much from him already. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking for help in English. We are so thrilled that we found him!

Knowledgeable and respectful teacher

Jon has taught me Ph.D.-level reading of English literature. Since I'm not a native speaker, I had a hard time comprehending classic critics of literature. So he took the approach of teaching me strategies of reading and interpreting literature. Now I know in which direction to take my work. I'm looking forward to his next class.

Wyzant changed my rating from 5 to 2, why?

My son had the first lesson with Jon. It was great and my son loved it. Jon is very knowledgeable on the poetry for 10th grade and my son learned a lot. After the lesson Jon messaged me about what they learned and how it went. My son is not a self-driven kid, Jon is very encouraging. I am so grateful for finding a match for my son on Wyzant. I gave Jon a five star rating right after the class. However, I saw an email today from Wyzant saying my recent lesson didn’t meet my expectation. I was shocked and went to Wyzant. I found my rating for Jon got changed from 5 stars to 2 stars. I have no idea how this happened. So I changed to rating back to 5 stars. Can Wyzant administrator tell me why my rating got changed?

Knowledgeable tutor

I came to Jon to improve my writing skills since English is my second language. Jon has been teaching me sentence construction, such as independent and dependent clauses, prepositional phrases, simple, complex, compound sentences, etc. So far, it has been going well. Thank you, Jon.

Knowledgeable and professional

Jon is a very effective tutor. I could not be more impressed and recommend him highly. I do not think that an in-person tutor could have accomplished what he manages to do on-line.

Above and beyond on his help

Professor John was very helpful, showing a good amount of patience to understand me and what I want to express on my paper. His editing and research skills are above average. He is a perfectionist, a detail oriented person. I just can say: if you want to have an awesome grade and feedback from your teacher just work with him as your tutor. I had the opportunity to learn a lot from him and I will continue looking for his advice as a tutor I recommended him 100% IHQ. TAMPA. FL
