Are you looking for help in Algebra, Geometry, Pre-calculus or Calculus? Let me help you master these subjects.

I am an experienced college level tutor, with experience as a peer tutor at the College of DuPage. While there I helped many students achieve success in their courses. I can help with common areas of trouble from simply understanding and interpreting the information in class homework to addressing specific areas of difficulty such as solving equations, factoring, graphing functions, working with trig identities, finding derivatives of functions and using them for problem solving, integration and its applications, and many other topics.

My approach is to help you identify and learn the information you need to understand your subject and connect it to the knowledge you already have, in a friendly, informal, intuitive way. I am knowledgeable, patient, and sympathetic to your struggles as a student. You deserve success for the hard work you've done, and I can help you achieve it.

Math miracle worker!

After spending the last semester and a half taking lessons with John, I feel that my mathematical abilities have grown tremendously. His approach to solving problems is very easy to follow and very straight forward. After spending some time with John I really started to adopt his approach and style of problem solving, and it paid off big time in both my calculus 1 and calculus 2 classes. If you're struggling with a math course, I would highly recommend a lesson with him. He is one of the best tutors around, and can definitely help you find success in your math courses. Thanks again for all your help John!
