Bio

Wouldn't if be nice to have your teacher come to your house after school and sit across from you in your kitchen table making sure that you "get it?" Because, let's face it, a lot of the time the videos on the web are just a little too hard to understand.

Wouldn't if be nice to have your teacher come to your house after school and sit across from you in your kitchen table making sure that you "get it?" Because, let's face it, a lot of the time the videos on the web are just a little too hard to understand.

Hi, my name is Jonathan. I have been a certified teacher for over 20 years now and have been tutoring privately for 22 years. I hold two Bachelor's degrees as well as a Master's degree in Quality Educational Strategies. I have taught here in Michigan as well as in Florida, England, and Mexico. I have taught every grade level from second grade up through university level, primarily focusing on math (specializing in Algebra/Algebra II and Geometry), science (Biology, Chemistry, and Astronomy), Spanish, ESOL (with TOEFL test preparation), and English/Language arts. As a seasoned teacher, I understand the challenges that students face when confronted with a subject, and it is my job to make sure that all students succeed. Together, we will create a personalized educational plan with goals and timelines to ensure that you are successful. I will be in contact with your teacher to track your progress as well as prepare for upcoming assignments and exams.

As a Spanish and English Language (ESOL) teacher, I teach using the Comprehensable Input methodology developed by Dr. Stephen Krashen. This proven method has students acquire the language instead of memorizing it. If you have ever wondered why you don't remember any Spanish from high school after taking four years of it, most likely you memorized vocabulary lists and grammar rules. This is not how people acquire language. I have been fortunate to present the Comprehensable Input methodology to other teachers at several World Language conferences in Mexico and the USA to help change how world languages are taught.

I invite you to contact me if you need help with Math, English Language, or Spanish and together we will see results.

Great tutor

Jonathan is a great tutor. My son really enjoys his tutoring sessions. At first, he really didn't like Spanish until we found Jonathan. Thank you so much.

Suzanne, 3 lessons with Jonathan

Very accommodating

It was nice of him to come with very short notice to help for the my sons home work. Thank you Jonathan.

Bharathi, 21 lessons with Jonathan

Very Patient!!

When I contacted Jonathan my son was failing his Algebra class. Fortunately Jonathan helped him bring up his grade and he passed his final exam!! Jonathan is a caring, patient, and organized tutor. He helped my son understand the material and helped him anticipate what the next steps were going to be in class, allowing him to review the subject matter for the next class. VERY helpful and I highly recommend!
