About John

Bio

I work full-time as an electronics and mechatronics engineer for an R&D firm in the Des Moines-metro. I hold a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University (ISU) and an undergraduate Bachelor's Degree from Northern Illinois University (NIU) in Mechanical Engineering with two minors in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and an undergraduate Certificate of Study in Nanotechnology.

I work full-time as an electronics and mechatronics engineer for an R&D firm in the Des Moines-metro. I hold a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University (ISU) and an undergraduate Bachelor's Degree from Northern Illinois University (NIU) in Mechanical Engineering with two minors in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and an undergraduate Certificate of Study in Nanotechnology.

From my time at NIU, I also have a small background in education, having been a Teacher's/Teaching Assistant (TA) for an undergraduate mechanical engineering course while I was a senior at NIU, working both semesters on that course. This job meant that I had to patiently work with students who may have struggled with the subject and I had to spend additional time outside of class refreshing my knowledge on the course's subject matter.

Being an engineer, I am immersed in science and mathematics all the time. I have worked heavily to gain a strong background in the hard sciences and mathematics, even completing undergraduate minors, and I am patient enough to teach these subjects slowly and thoroughly. I also have a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, and am working towards an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, so I come in with a very full background that can help me to cover more aspects of mathematics and the hard sciences for students.

I am a recent graduate of Iowa State University for a Master's of Engineering (M.Eng) degree in Electrical Engineering. I have worked the last 5 years in an active engineering role doing a combination of Mechanical design/R&D, Electrical design/R&D, and Test engineering work. I am experienced with multiple PCB layout tools (primarily Altium and EasyEDA), SPICE simulation tools (primarily LTSpice and PSpice), Python programming, and C programming.

I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited university, Northern Illinois University. I have worked full-time as an engineer for the last five years, doing a combination of Mechanical design/R&D, Electrical design/R&D, and Test work primarily within the automotive industry. Prior to that, I interned for two years with an automotive parts manufacturer as a mechanical and manufacturing engineer. In addition, I have been a Teaching Assistant (TA) for a mechanical engineering course on CAD.

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

John is an excellent tutor. He is well prepared to teach my son, gives positive reinforcement and challenges him appropriately. We are very thankful we found John.

Ann, 11 lessons with John

Great Algebra tutor

He was a lot more helpful than my teacher is. He really helped me to be able to reason things out and to understand things better. I will probably set up future sessions with him and I would highly recommend him.

Linda, 2 lessons with John

First session is a success!

Thank you, John! We are happy to have the extra help-there’s no way we can teach trig! We appreciate your knowledge and patience. We look forward to more sessions.

Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor

John provided Alg. II tutoring for our daughter and helped her raise her ACT Math score 6 points. He is currently tutoring our son in Alg. I and is making a huge impact. John patiently breaks down the theory and logic of the problems in a way his student can grasp.

Tracey, 44 lessons with John

Excellence experience!

John was excellent tutor in easing my daughter’s doubts with AP Physics. Very knowledgeable and understanding. Highly recommended and a great asset.

Michael, 2 lessons with John

Great tutor!

John is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. He takes the time to make follow up lessons for my weak points, makes sure I understand the mechanics of the problems and is an excellent communicator. I have benefited greatly from his efforts. He is highly recommended.

Sandra, 2 lessons with John

Great tutor

Punctual and very patient! John was great about trying to make sure that there was comprehensive understanding. We appreciate the help. In my son's words, "It's nice to hear that I'm doing this right.”

Kara, 7 lessons with John

Perfect tutor

John is a perfect example of what a tutor on Wyzant should strive to be. Patient and caring! My son is a hard kid to teach. He struggles with attention issues (ADD) but he is trying to get in the army. John is doing a fantastic job at helping him achieve his goals.
