Hello! My name is Jon B. and I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelor’s degree in biology and then continued my education with a master’s degree in microbiology from the University of Florida. I fully understand that biology can be a difficult topic for many students, and I am here to custom-tailor your sessions to best assist you. Through a mixture of direct instruction/explanation and then guided, self-paced practice, you can master topics that you have been struggling with the most. We can move through material slowly to gain a deep understanding of a topic, or move through large amounts of material quickly, if you have an upcoming exam.

Quick Highlights:

- I have taught (and currently still teach) AP Biology in the classroom setting for 19 years.

- I have over 130 AP Biology students every year in my classroom setting due to the effectiveness of my instruction.

- I have helped score the AP Biology exam (as an AP Reader and Table Leader) for the last 8 years.

- I also teach A-Level AICE Biology (Cambridge curriculum).

As a current classroom biology teacher, I understand the material that you need to know to be successful. I have a deep understanding of how to help ALL AP Biology students. Additionally, I am one of the few A-Level Biology teachers in the country and can help you with either AS or A-Level Biology. I am happy to help with other levels of biology such as IB, honors, or regular classes as well.

If you need help in your undergraduate college biology, microbiology, biochemistry, or microbiology classes, let me know! I am happy to help you master those difficult topics like transcription, translation, cell respiration, photosynthesis, and genetics.

Biology

Biology

I have taught AP Biology for over 15 years and have served as an AP Reader (who assists in the scoring of the AP Biology exam) for 6 years. Additionally, I am one of the few A-Level Biology (Cambridge curriculum) teachers in the country and can help you with either AS or A-Level Biology. I am happy to help with any other levels of biology such as IB, honors, or regular classes as well.
Genetics

Genetics

I have taught AP Biology (15+ years) and A-Level (Cambridge) Biology (3+ years) and each of these courses focuses on different areas of genetics such as Mendelian, Chromosomal, and Molecular genetics. Additionally, I have mentored high school students in published metagenomic research and am a current AP Biology Reader (assists the scoring of AP Biology exams). My master's degree is in microbiology and have tutored students virtually and in-person for 15+ years.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I hold a masters degree in microbiology and have been involved in two metagenomic studies within the environment. Teaching microbiology is an important part of my curriculum and I conduct the classical "bacterial unknowns" laboratory on a yearly basis with my students. If you are in Microbiology and are struggling with the class then reach out to me and I can help you with the material. If you are stressed or having trouble with your Bacterial Unknown project, then reach out and I can offer guidance and advice every step of the way!

Reviews

experienced AP Bio tutor

Jon is an excellent AP Bio tutor. My daughter is preparing for the AP Bio for this upcoming school year and Jon has been very helpful. Each session is very organized and starts with a quick review of the concepts that were taught during the previous session, which my daughter has found to be helpful in retaining concepts. Additionally, Jon has comprehensive note templates for each unit and explains difficult concepts well. Often time he will explain concepts using analogies that hep my daughter make sense of the concepts, which is great!

Outstanding AP Bio Tutor

My daughter has only had one session with Jon, but immediately told me how helpful he was in helping her prepare for her Natural Selection Unit Test. Jon did a great job developing a rapport with her, discussing her AP Bio class experience, and tackling concepts for the Natural Selection Unit.

AP Biology Success: Thanks to a Superb Tutor

Thanks to Jon, my son has actually developed a passion for biology. Jon is incredibly knowledgeable, covering every important aspect of each unit and bringing a rare level of patience and kindness to each session. Jon is able to connect with my son on a personal level, making the learning process highly enjoyable and effective. My son especially appreciates his practice problems because he says they give him a deeper understanding and reinforce the learning of each unit. With his help, my son is getting A's with ease. Last semester, he wasn't sure he would take the AP exam, but now he is looking forward to the challenge. I cannot recommend Jon highly enough to anyone seeking an extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind tutor.

Amazing tutor for AP Biology

Excellent tutor

Made things easier to understand. Very knowledgeable and patient. Deep insights into every topic. Jon is a great tutor to have. Jon knows this topic very well.

Cayden, 17 lessons with Jon

Amazing tutor for AP Biology

Jon is awesome. He helped my son review for AP Biology and highlighted areas of high yield questions for a unit test. It was very, very helpful and he crushed the exam. My son was already working hard, studying, putting in the time. I think Jon just helped solidify some key areas where test questions are likely to be asked and clear up some questions. In reality, the public schools should provide this kind of help to AP students but due to poor funding and overworked teachers as it is, that’s difficult to accomplish. Grateful for Jon to help fill those gaps. Thank you!!!
