About Jon

Bio

I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and have done a great deal of that. As a tutor, my goal is to help the student learn as much as possible and do their best in the course. Although I know the subject material, the objective is not to hear myself talk, but to communicate the topic to the student. As such, there is no bad (or “dumb”) question. The student is welcome to ask whatever he/she wants.

I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and have done a great deal of that. As a tutor, my goal is to help the student learn as much as possible and do their best in the course. Although I know the subject material, the objective is not to hear myself talk, but to communicate the topic to the student. As such, there is no bad (or “dumb”) question. The student is welcome to ask whatever he/she wants.

I have tutored students for three years in high school economics, undergraduate introductory and intermediate economics courses, and graduate classes, with high student ratings. This has ranged from tutoring an extremely gifted 12-year old, to undergraduates, and adults returning for their undergraduate or graduate degrees. In addition, as a graduate student I tutored University of Pennsylvania undergraduates and Wharton MBA students in their economics courses.

I taught microeconomics and macroeconomics for two years at LaSalle University, where I was rated highly in students' evaluations. In fact, 25 students petitioned the University that I teach another section of microeconomics one semester, since my existing sections were filled. Also, I taught microeconomics at Drexel University to a class of 60.

At the University of Pennsylvania, I completed all non-dissertation requirements for the PhD in Economics, as well as earning a M.A. in Economics. My B.A. is from Duke University, majoring in political science. In addition, I have professional certifications in Business Valuation and Anti-Money Laundering.

I also possess over 40 years of experience as an economist, having worked for the U.S. government and a large Canadian bank, in addition to university teaching. This includes working on the U.S. macroeconomy, international trade issues, immigration, tax and financial matters, and economic development. I have published several economic policy articles which were well-received.

My background is complemented by my desire to provide students the best service I can.

I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and have done a great deal of that. As a tutor, my goal is to help the student learn as much as possible and do their best in the course. Although I know the subject material, the objective is not to hear myself talk, but to communicate the topic to the student. As such, there is no bad (or “dumb”) question. The student is welcome to ask whatever he/she wants. I have tutored students for several years in high school economics, undergraduate introductory and intermediate economics courses, and graduate classes. I have been tutoring students for the past three years now with high student ratings. In addition, as a graduate student I tutored University of Pennsylvania undergraduates and Wharton MBA students in their economics courses. I taught macroeconomics and microeconomics for two years at LaSalle University, where I was rated highly in students' evaluations. In fact, 25 students petitioned the University that I teach another section of an economics course one semester, since my existing sections were filled.

This includes working on the U.S. macroeconomy, international trade issues, immigration, tax and financial matters, and economic development. I have published several macroeconomic policy articles which were well-received. My background is complemented by my desire to provide students the best service I can.

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

My vast public speaking experience -- for which I have been rated highly -- mainly includes university teaching, but also speaking/presenting before professional groups, in training sessions, and at conferences. In particular, I have led seven U.S. Government delegations at UN meetings abroad and been interviewed on Canadian TV and in a video for 6,000 U.S. Treasury Department staff. In addition, I have worked with, advised, and constructively critiqued others in their public speaking, such as through providing mock interviews and in mentoring sessions, as well as writing and editing others’ speeches and presentations. My proven public speaking experience would enable me to continue to help others in this pursuit.
Writing

Writing

I have decades of diverse writing experience -- which has been rated highly -- including publishing papers which were well-received. This ranges from cover letters, to short policy position statements, to lectures and speeches (given by others and me), detailed reports, and a 132-page review of the research literature. For instance, in my last government position, our director said I was one of our program’s best writers, out of 250 staff. Further, I have substantial experience reviewing and editing others’ write-ups and reports, through my university teaching and supervisory roles.

Excellent teacher

Jon is very knowledgeable. He walks students step by step through problems. He is also very patient which I appreciate

Lola, 5 lessons with Jon

Knowledgeable, and flexible

We connected with Jon at the last minute and he was able to assist, with an upcoming AP Econ exam. He was very helpful and clarified some confusing sections. Would use Jon again for additional help when needed.

Jon is the best tutor I've ever worked with

I really enjoyed my lesson with Jon and will be returning to him for future help. He's knowledgeable and patient, and breaks down the concepts in a way that makes sense. Thank you Jon!

Very Knowledgeable and easy to work with

Jon M. helped me get through the entirety of my macro economics class. He was very easy to understand, and he has a lot of knowledge. He is also very personable and easy to talk to. I enjoyed my time using him and will 100% use him again if needed.
