I earned my B.A. in Mathematical Sciences from Clemson University with a minor in Philosophy, as well as an A.M. and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Dartmouth College.

Let my years of experience as both a teacher and tutor help you! I earned my B.A. in Mathematical Sciences from Clemson University with a minor in Philosophy, as well as an A.M. and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Dartmouth College. For the last twenty years, I have taught mathematics and statistics courses in the college classroom and online, winning awards for my teaching and my research. I love all things quantitative, including logic and puzzles, and bring that enthusiasm for mathematics everywhere I use it.

Starting in high school, I realized how much I enjoyed helping friends and classmates grasp some of the more difficult concepts in our classes. There are few feelings like seeing a frustrated friend smile at that “aha” moment. I tutored a number of my fellow students in high school and college in subjects ranging from 10th grade Geometry to Differential Equations. Since graduating I have tutored in a one-on-one setting for local high school and college students in both New Hampshire and Maine. In the last three years, I have tutored learners ranging in age from 10 to 50+, in topics including statistics, precalculus, calculus, multivariable calculus, and number theory.

My favorite college teachers introduced me to the effectiveness of both inquiry-based learning and groupwork in teaching mathematics. Both methods involve students working problems as not just practice, but a fundamental part of the learning process, exploring their ideas to build a more general concept. My tutoring style is also problem-based: I like to start with a small set of example problems to work on together. Each learner’s process is different, and I aim to explore what suits each one individually. There are often multiple ways to solve a problem, and I can flexibly verify which ones will always work. We then piece together the broader principles that help us come up with an effective general strategy.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

15 years experience teaching Algebra and related courses to college students, ranging from Prealgebra and Arithmetic up through College Algebra and Precalculus.
Calculus

Calculus

15 years experience teaching Calculus at the college level, experience grading AP Calculus exams, published research in analytic number theory with extensive use of derivatives, integrals, and series.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

My graduate work was in number theory, including elements in sequences/series, combinatorics, and algorithmic run-time analysis. I have extensive teaching experience at the college level ranging from Pre-algebra through graduate level Geometry, including multiple sections of Discrete Mathematics. I absolutely love this subject, and my range of teaching experience gives me a unique ability to break it down in an easy-to-understand way.
Finite Math

Finite Math

I first taught Finite Mathematics as a graduate student at Dartmouth, where coincidentally, the course was first conceived in the late 50's. Since then, I have taught the course about a dozen times. I also reviewed four textbooks on Finite Mathematics and authored a number of questions for a publisher-owned homework system tied to another Finite Mathematics textbook.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

As a college teacher for the last 15 years, I have had a good bit of experience teaching linear algebra and related topics. This includes applied linear algebra topics, such as vectors, matrix equations, and parameterizations of systems of linear equations, and the usual basis, dimension, eigenvalue/eigenvector ideas in R^n. I have also taught more abstract versions of linear algebra including vector spaces over fields with the above topics. I have also taught abstract algebra a handful of times and as a mathematician with an active reasearch program in number theory, I am quite familiar with proof techniques.
Precalculus

Precalculus

12 years of experience teaching Precalculus at the college level, with tutoring experience at the high school level
Probability

Probability

Years of experience teaching introductory probability and statistics. I passed Society of Actuaries Exam P on probability with a score of 8 two years ago. I often use probabilistic methods in my research in analytic number theory as well.
Statistics

Statistics

10 years of experience teaching Statistics at the college level, tutoring experience at both the high school and college level
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have 12 years teaching Trigonometry in various college level courses and tutoring a handful of high school students in the topic.
Algebra 1
Prealgebra

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Jonathan was a phenomenal tutor. His teaching style helped tremendously. He guided me but also made sure I truly understood the work myself. I'm super grateful for his help and will continue to reach out to him when I need assistance.

Nadege, 11 lessons with Jonathan

linear algebra

Amazing tutor! Helped me understand concepts so quick and is so flexible and willing to accommodate all your needs!! Definitely recommend a life saver

Nitya, 7 lessons with Jonathan

Very Helpful

Extremely patient with my questions and mistakes. Never made to feel inadequate or out of place, which is my hesitation with getting help from other teachers/friends. I feel better prepared and am hoping to get Jonathan's help again for upcoming tests and the final exam.

Jeremy, 5 lessons with Jonathan

Knowledgeable Tutor

We talked about linear regression models from the notes provided by my teacher for descriptive stats. I like how Jonathan showed examples and notes from the slides that he used. It helped me understand the concept more.

Samyuktaa, 49 lessons with Jonathan

Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor

My daughter needed help with discrete math. She was very happy with the class. The tutor was patient and he explained to her in a way that she could understand the subject better. She has set up another class with him.

Radhika, 2 lessons with Jonathan

Very knowledgeable in statistics and very professional

We are very lucky to find him in our very first try! He is very professional and fast in problem solving. The man a gem when comes to statistic, so far not a problem he can not solve nor explain.

Thuy, 14 lessons with Jonathan

Expert in statistics

Jonathan answered and reviewed all my questions on inferential statistics. He explained where I’d made mistakes and went over critical values in hypothesis testing, we met several times before my final exam. He was patient, knowledgeable, and very flexible.

Adrienne , 3 lessons with Jonathan

CLearly knowledgeable and understanding towards his students.

Jonathan helped me review some Maths related to trigonometric identities, logarithms, Euler's identity by practicing exercises and explaining the process through which a solution is derived -- which helped me immensely.
