About John


Bio

I have been tutoring for over a decade, because I love the problem solving process not only helping you understand your material, but also the process of helping untangle you from the obstacles from your success. Unlike many tutors who focus on subject matter expertise, my focus is on finding better ways to link your understanding to your instructor’s expert presentation. Bluntly, your instructors are usually experts in their fields, so if subject matter expertise could solve your problems,...

I have been tutoring for over a decade, because I love the problem solving process not only helping you understand your material, but also the process of helping untangle you from the obstacles from your success. Unlike many tutors who focus on subject matter expertise, my focus is on finding better ways to link your understanding to your instructor’s expert presentation. Bluntly, your instructors are usually experts in their fields, so if subject matter expertise could solve your problems, you probably wouldn’t be searching for a tutor. My legal training (J.D., University of Wisconsin, cum laude) and experience focuses on finding ways to explain complicated material so that you can understand it and then relay it back as necessary for exams, assignments, or personal use. I tutor by working through problems together with my students because the areas I teach are primarily learn-by-doing, especially when students find themselves in need of help.

My undergraduate (B.S., Philosophy & Economics, University of Wisconsin, cum laude), legal, and tutoring experience is focused on number-crunching, organizing information, and writing about numbers and information. As a result, I have 20+ years of experience on analyzing numerical and factual information for economics, business, finance, and accounting, and how to organize that material into coherent whole. My last ten years of tutoring has kept me current on developments in how that material is presented in the classroom and how it is used in the real world, which has enabled my students to not only complete their coursework, but understand how that work will be used professionally.

I hope I can be of service, so please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions or would like to schedule a first session. Thank you for the opportunity.

Extremely patient

John was so helpful and reassured me that he could help figure out my assignment. He walked me through my assignment step by step and answered all my questions.

Brandy, 1 lesson with John

Knowledgeable and helpful

He helped me answer the questions I needed to answer for my report and maybe more than that. I sent him my material and questions ahead of the meetup time so he was prepared to guide me through the financial questions I had for my principles of finance class.

Jordan, 1 lesson with John

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

When I met John, I was at a very frustrated stage in my studies and considered quitting my finance class. John was patient and understanding, he explained things in such a way that I could understand them. He basically brought them down to my level of understanding which helped me significantly. I always looked forward to my sessions with him because I knew they would be great. Because of John, I will be able to finish this class on time and with very good grades. Most importantly, I am going through this class with my sanity in place. His response time for when I needed help was fantastic, so quick!!! I know I am gushing at the moment, but he truly saved me from complete failure in this class. I can't say enough good things about John. If you need help, John's your man!!!!

So helpful- explains things slowly and clearly

John is so nice and patient. He explains things and if I still don't understand he explains again in a different way. I tell him what I'm struggling with and how I learn best and he really caters to my unique learning style

Great knowledge and very clear thinker

John is a very clear thinker and can articulate his ideas very clearly. He has a wide breadth of knowledge and knows how to tie it into what he is saying. I feel like I could get better just by listening to how he thinks about things.

Amazing tutor!

John breaks down seemingly complex concepts and terms into understandable pieces. This has allowed me to understand previously intimidating statistics terms and methods with greater ease! I would highly recommend .
