"Miracle Worker"
- Lesa, Akron, OH on 12/16/13My son was in danger of losing his financial aid in college because he could not pass the required math class. Jerrett took the time to help him really understand what he was learning and build a good foundation for his next step. Not only did my son pass the class, he passed with an A! He was even able to help another student. The decision to have private tutoring was well worth it. Without the frustration and stress of trying to learn on his own, he was able to concentrate on his other classes. It was the difference between dropping out of school and going on to get his degree. I can't recommend Jerrett enough.
"Knowledgeable and patient tutor"
- Kathy, Atwater, OH on 4/6/17Jerrett was very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining mathematical functions to my son. My son left his first session feeling more confident and assured as a result. Thank you.
"Very flexible with schedule and instruction"
- Suzanne, Strongsville, OH on 3/23/17Jerrett is very flexible and is able to help my daughter in chemistry or trig when she is confused. He also helped her review for SATs. I am not sure what we would have done without Jerrett's help this year.
"Great first session!"
- Katherine, Medina, OH on 12/29/16The First lesson went well! Jack said they got a lot done! Looking forward to working with you in the future!!
"I Highly Recommend Him"
- Fred, Kent, OH on 12/17/16My daughter Jennifer was struggling with her Modeling Algebra class as a sophomore at Kent State University. Her Russian professor was a nice person but certainly did not have the teaching skills needed to convey the curriculum. Often times he himself would arrive at wrong answers during reviews of quizzes and homework. A teaching assistant would usually step in.
Just weeks away from the final exam I knew my daughter was in danger of failing the course. On some concepts she had a clear understanding, on others she was lost. She was not alone either. Most of the class was in danger of failing. With this consideration, the professor decided that if his students did well on the final, he would use the exam grade as their overall final grade for the entire course. However, it would be a cumulative final.
I decided to reach out to a tutor but had no luck finding one. Then I ran across Jerret G. On the very first session with Jerret my daughter said she learned more from him than in weeks of classroom study. That was very encouraging, but the cumulative final exam was still just days away.
My daughter and Jerret met for several days in a row. After each session she would call or text me saying how great Jerret was and how much she had learned. On the day before the final he gave her a mock test. Then reviewed any concepts that she missed. Keep in mind they are covering an entire course in a matter of days.
I am happy to report that Jenny got an 84% on the final which gave her a “B” overall for the course. We all couldn't be more thrilled and we owe it all the Jerrets tutoring. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing math help. Even if you're covering and entire course in a matter of days.
"Quick and to the point"
- Kenya, Chino Hills, CA on 8/31/16Jerrett tutored me in trig and what I like was that he was to the point...he answered all my questions and explained very well. I've used other tutors here and they have been great but I liked his teaching style.
"ACT Math and Science Tutor"
- Amy, Broadview Heights, OH on 8/28/16Jerrett does a great job prepping my daughter for the ACT test. She met with him
only twice prior to the Apr 2016 exam and her overall score went up by 2 pts.
She has mentioned that he has provided several helpful tips for attacking various math problems. She has received tutoring for math and science only.

- Trudee, Akron, OH on 8/24/16We've appreciated Jarrett because of his kindness to the boys as well as being thorough and thoughtful in his approach to teaching them.
"Great!"
- Kaelyn, Wadsworth, OH on 6/6/16He always explained things in a way that I could understand, and if I didn't he'd find a way. He was always on time and asked about the weekly sessions even if I forgot to text. Very nice, easy to talk to.
"Great Tutor"
- Karen, Twinsburg, OH on 6/6/16Jerrett, Did a great job with my son. My son was having a lot of problems and anxiety with chemistry. Jerrett got him on track and was very good with him.

"Outstanding ACT tutor"
- Jackie, Medina, OH on 1/19/16Jerrett tutored my son for 5 lessons to improve his ACT score. After purchasing the answer key, Jerrett went over each of the problems missed in each section. He also made up tests and worked on timing. Week by week he worked with him. When the October ACT results came in it would be an understatement to say we were pleased. We were amazed - his ACT score increased by 5 points! Thank you Wyzant and especially Jerrett.

"Looking forward to additional sessions"
- Anthony, Canton, OH on 8/25/15ACT preparation. Math review so far has been most helpful. Looking forward to additional sessions. Further comments will be forthcoming.
"Very patient and knowledgeable"
- Stephanie, Uniontown, OH on 6/20/15My son and I were so thankful for Jerrett's assistance this past school year. Jerrett tutored my ninth grade son in Algebra II. Jerrett was very knowledgeable regarding the subject matter and very patient while working with my son. On numerous occasions, my son commented that Jerrett was able to communicate the information so that everything made sense...as easy as the ABC's. My son finished with an "A" each quarter in Algebra II. In addition to being knowledgeable and patient, Jerrett was always very professional. Jerrett was timely as far as communication. I never had difficulty getting in touch with him. He was also flexible as far as schedule changes and always on time for our sessions. I would highly recommend Jerrett as a tutor!
"He is very good"
- Norah, Streetsboro, OH on 6/11/15He makes the math easy and he teaches me easy ways to understand. Also he is on time and I strongly recommend him. He is really really good in math.
"Able to focus on what was needed"
- Michael, Akron, OH on 6/9/15Looking forward to a rewarding relationship. This first lesson was a catch up exercise as well as an evaluation of exactly what is needed. Jerrett was able to get right to the point.
"Great tutor"
- Myra, Macedonia, OH on 6/4/15When we started tutoring with Jerrett my son's grade in PreCalc was an F. He went from failing in the 2nd quarter, C in the 3 quarter (after we started tutoring), to a B this last quarter. The highest grade he got in PreCalc all year. I am so grateful for Jerrett's help in tutoring Isaac. He did graduate last week and now onto Kent State. If he is in need of further tutoring in college we will be calling Jerrett. Isaac's comment was, "He doesn't make me feel dumb or that I'm not able to do the work."
"Really made a difference"
- Lori, Medina, OH on 10/16/14Jerrett has made a huge difference in my son's grades. He went from a D- to an A before the end of the grading period in physical science! Jerrett helped him to understand things that I couldn't and never made him feel "stupid", as my son put it! I am very grateful for all he has done and will continue to use him on a regular basis. He is patient and kind and very professional. Thank you WyzAnt and thank you Jerrett.
"Pleased"
- Denise, Akron, OH on 6/8/14I am pleased about the plan for my son and my son was comfortable with his approach. I am looking forward to more lessons.
"Works well with my son"
- Mark, Brunswick, OH on 1/16/14Covered all material needed and was kind enough to reschedule to a different day for us even at the last minute.
"Very Involved and Thoughtful"
- Kimberly, Richfield, OH on 1/2/14What I appreciate about Jerrett the most is how he really considers the student, their learning styles, what portion of the subject they need to focus on, etc. Additionally I just love that he prepares between tutoring sessions so that when he arrives he is ready to go. Often he sends notes or study guides between tutoring sessions for my son to work on. He has helped my one son with pre-calc, my college age daughter with calc 1, and my other HS son with trig.
I am so thankful we found Jerrett and he has done a great job working with my kids.
"Great Tutor"
- SHASHI, Hudson, OH on 11/19/12Jerrett has excellent teaching skills. He uses methods suitable for the student to help understand difficult concepts. He is very patient and helped my daughter understand basic concepts of A.P. Calc that helped build up her confidence. He is punctual, easy to reach over the phone/text and I recommend him for anyone who needs help laying good foundation and developing independent logical thinking.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Algebra 1
I have helped students understand every math subject from prealgebra through algebra, discrete math, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus. Often, when a student is having challenges in math, it is because one or two concepts slipped by, or weren’t taught properly. This makes the next concept more difficult, and pretty soon a student can be overwhelmed. I will quickly help you get caught up, and then help you get ahead, so that your math classes will be like review sessions instead of just going through the motion.
Discrete Math
I am an Electrical engineer graduate from the University of Akron and have been tutoring students in math up to Calculus III.
Electrical Engineering
I am an Electrical Engineer graduate from the University of Akron. I help students understand and apply the following subjects: Circuits I & II, Digital communications, Switching and Logic, Physical Electronics, Active Circuits and control systems.
General Computer
I currently work at an insurance company in the IT department (12 years) as a network administrator. I work on servers as well as PC (hardware and software).
This experience has allowed me to master general computer building and repairing computers, optimizing hard drive storage, removing spyware, malware and viruses, teaching Microsoft office, correcting internet connection issues, email, etc.
In today's fast-paced society, it is critical for people to gain skills in general computer usage. The internet is an incredible source of information - information that may have once been inaccessible by some people. I love to help people take advantage of the resources provided to us by computers.
Physics
I am tutoring several students in high school and college physics. Physics can be difficult to understand, and it is easy for a student to fall behind. Once a student falls behind, it can be virtually impossible to catch up without help. If you are falling behind, I can help you catch up and learn what you need to know to pass; if you are willing to do some work, I can help you excel.
