Hi, I'm Jonah! I graduated from Haverford College in 2011 with a B.A. in English Literature. My education began long before that, though; both of my parents are teachers, so I've long understood the benefits of the one-on-one academic attention that my parents were able to give me. I was very lucky to have that advantage, so I'm excited to work as a tutor so that I can pass that on to other students.
During college, I worked at a number of summer programs at New England prep schools,...
Hi, I'm Jonah! I graduated from Haverford College in 2011 with a B.A. in English Literature. My education began long before that, though; both of my parents are teachers, so I've long understood the benefits of the one-on-one academic attention that my parents were able to give me. I was very lucky to have that advantage, so I'm excited to work as a tutor so that I can pass that on to other students.
During college, I worked at a number of summer programs at New England prep schools, teaching students from 4th graders to high school seniors. I also did some student teaching as part of my college coursework. After graduating from college, I taught 8th-grade English at a private school near Boston, focusing on helping my students develop critical thinking, reading comprehension, and both academic and creative writing skills. I worked with gifted students and students with special needs, and both experiences taught me an enormous amount about how to tailor my lessons to each student.
After I left teaching, I became a professional writer and editor, a career that has given me the opportunity to do every kind of writing imaginable, from journalism to retail copy to poetry. My experience as a writer and my academic background in literature give me a great breadth of knowledge that I'm eager to share with students once again.
I'm happy to work one-on-one with both students and parents to make sure everyone gets the most out of each tutoring session. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
