Hello and welcome!

I'm deeply engaged in the study of computational technologies and scientific research with a background that spans over a decade in both academic and professional settings. My experience covers a broad spectrum, including natural science, computer science, and mathematics. Having worked as a chemist and data scientist, I offer a rich blend of hands-on skills and insightful knowledge.

My early professional endeavors involved studying the properties of materials used in aerospace, specifically focusing on plastics. This curiosity then transitioned into a role at a leading healthcare company, where I contributed significantly to the advancement of automated technologies in medical diagnostics. These varied roles have significantly broadened my perspective on the scientific and technological fields, blending theoretical knowledge with practical application.

Since 2012, I have been dedicated to tutoring. My approach is centered on simplifying intricate subjects, making them accessible and engaging. My commitment extends to fostering an educational environment that accommodates diverse learning styles and student needs, including specialized support for individuals with autism and ADHD. I strive to ensure a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for LGBTQ+ students, underlining the importance of empathy and respect in educational spaces.

I am eager to assist with any questions or to support you in your academic pursuits in the sciences. Feel free to connect to start this exciting journey together!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra is required for many higher-level topics in math, science, business, and finance, so students will benefit from a strong foundation in algebra early on. Sessions emphasize methods of problem solving for linear equations, polynomials, inequalities, rational functions, radical functions, word problems etc. for course mastery, and to equip students for success in later courses.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Skilled mentor with experience working at all levels of high school & undergraduate math. Algebra 2 further develops concepts initially encountered in Algebra 1 and is required for higher mathematics. Students will benefit from a no-nonsense approach to problem solving in plain, direct language that simplifies work.
Chemistry

Chemistry

Career scientist and educator with 10+ years of experience mentoring at the high school & undergraduate levels. General chemistry sessions focus on problem solving, concept reinforcement, and chemical vernacular. Topics include periodic trends, Lewis structures, VSEPR theory, dimensional analysis, stoichiometry, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, ions and solutions, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, and biological applications.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Career scientist and educator with 10+ years of experience mentoring at the high school & undergraduate levels. Organic chemistry sessions focus on name reactions, reaction mechanisms, and retrosynthetic analysis to build mastery. Main topics include hydrocarbons, stereochemistry, substitution/elimination reactions, functional groups, spectroscopy (IR, NMR), aromaticity, and organometallic reactions.
Calculus

The ultimate professional--kind, intuitive, patient and knowledgeable.

John helped Austin not only learn Algebra and Geometry better, but gain the confidence Austin needed to continue growing into the challenges of high school. John's patience, sense of humor and insight shape every lesson, making each hour a valuable building block in Austin's education. We highly recommend him!

PreAP Chem help

My son is having a hard time in his chem class but one lesson with John has greatly improved his confidence. He was thrilled with the lesson and how well John explained the concepts. He was able to complete his assignments without help. We are looking forward to his next lesson.

Kim, 5 lessons with John

Best Tutor.

My son is so much more confident after his lesson. John is a good human being, too - my son loves him. AP chemistry is no match for his teaching skills! Thanks so much, John! Stay cool!

Deborah, 1 lesson with John

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor

John is very patient and easy to understand he breaks it down thoroughly. John makes more sense than my professor makes me wish they could trade places. He tackles the problems by first explaining the background detail or formulas you need to know and why you need to know them. Chemistry is alot like math in the sense that if you dont know a previous lesson well it will come back to haunt you later. My lesson with John was fun and very informative! He got me caught up to speed. Thank you John!

Kristy, 1 lesson with John

Highly Experienced and Intellectual

A true prodigy with Organic Chemistry who really enjoys teaching it! Hands down, one of the BEST you'll ever find and that's a personal GUARANTEE!

Hunter, 3 lessons with John

Extremely helpful

John has been great with my daughter and so helpful. Her other Wyzant tutor just stopped responding and John came last minute and is great.

Katherine, 29 lessons with John

Great Tutor & Super Patient

I've been working on Chemistry, soon to be getting into Physics with John. I haven't had any rigorous science courses in ten years and he's helped me pick up the basics rather quickly. He's very patient, clear and has great little tips for remembering things. Great tutor, you won't regret hiring him!

He was knowledgable and patient

I had a concussion, so I'm a little slow, but he was very patient with me. He was exactly on time, down to the minute, and he came very prepared. I'm failing physics, so I was nervous because this is my last hope for passing. He was quite helpful and he's a good teacher. I highly recommend him.

Katie, 6 lessons with John

Excellent tutor

Provides thorough explanation of problem sets and works through several of his own (additional) examples to ensure mastery of material. Very patient and enthusiastic! John is a joy to work with!

Dee, 6 lessons with John

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

My son had a hard time learning from his teachers and his grades reflected that. I thought perhaps it was my son not paying attention in class or putting forth the effort. John not only helped my son understand the concepts in chemistry and algebra, he made it so interesting that my son loves the two subjects now. He even purchased a book on chemistry just for a fun read. I'm deeply appreciative to John for giving my son the confidence to master future concepts in those subjects and in himself overall.
