Bio

I have a BS and MS in physics from the University of Texas at Dallas. In pursuing those degrees I took many math courses including advanced calculus, linear algebra and abstract algebra. I worked for many years at Texas Instruments developing processes for making computer chips. When I left there I took up math and physics tutoring.

I have a BS and MS in physics from the University of Texas at Dallas. In pursuing those degrees I took many math courses including advanced calculus, linear algebra and abstract algebra. I worked for many years at Texas Instruments developing processes for making computer chips. When I left there I took up math and physics tutoring. I love working one on one with students, helping them achieve their goals. I have had many rewarding experiences with students who didn't believe in their abilities at first but went on to become straight A math students.
I've been tutoring for over 10 years including 8 years in the Dallas County Community College system where I tutored all levels of math from developmental up to calculus, differential equations and linear algebra. While working at Brookhaven College I received extensive training in tutoring methods and I subsequently taught math tutoring to other tutors. We emphasized a form of the Socratic method where we don't lecture students but rather draw out the knowledge and abilities that they don't know they have.
I am very friendly and helpful and can relate to students at any level of math understanding. I have enjoyed working with students ranging from teenagers to senior citizens. I work hard to understand my clients needs - how they learn, what their problems are and what works for them. I will be your advocate and work with you to achieve your goals. I have helped many student go from F to A and to succeed in math for the first time in their lives.
I have experience tutoring all levels of math including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Business Math and Logic. I have also specialized in helping student who are working to be math teachers with difficult subjects such as complex variable and abstract algebra.
I can help you succeed in math if you're struggling or if you're just need a little boost to get that A. I have a very interactive tutoring style that will bring out abilities that you didn'

Great Tutor

Explained everything really well and had very deep knowledge of diff eq. Really recommend him as a math tutor. Good response time

Con, 21 lessons with John

great at explaining

My son enjoyed his lesson and was able to grasp concepts he was having trouble with. Earned a 90% on his test - normally scoring in the 70s before tutoring with John.

Patient and Positive

You can tell he enjoys what he does. He quickly learned where I was then created real world connections to what I was working on. He goes out of his way to make sure I understand.

Wonderful calculus tutor!

John helped my college age son w calculus 1 problems. He clearly understands the material and was able to provide clear explanations and study tips to my son. Very patient and kind. My son has already signed up for more sessions w John. He was the only tutor we reached out to for calculus.

Explained in way that made it easier to understand & Boosted my confidence

John explained things in a way that I could relate to, but more importantly he gave me the confidence that I really did understand. During Calc testing, I start to second guess what I know. I am hopeful that moving forward I will no longer struggle in this way. He was also very fast to respond and was able to tutor me shortly after making my request on a Saturday Morning. I will be using John again, and in the very near future. Thank you!

Really Helpful

John has tutored me in BC calculus (Calc II), multivariable calculus (Calc III), linear algebra, and intro to mathematical reasoning at the college level. John makes it easy to understand the underlying concepts and is really helpful in helping me prepare for an exam. One of his strengths lie in being able to come up with tips for exams. Whether I’m lost in a class, need help on homework sets, need to prepare for an exam, or polish up on concepts before a final, John has always been great! Overall, John has helped me raise my grade by one letter grade in each of my classes! I am excited to use John again for help in my next math class.

Knowledgeable and Clear Explanations

John met with my daughter to review some CalcBC problems and was able to explain the strategies to solving the problems that were stumping her. My daughter now understands how to approach these problems with greater confidence.
