Tutor

“Jonathan is beyond amazing. Brilliant. We can’t be happier. My son is doing so much better than the beginning of the year. His new study techniques seem to be working. Thank you for helping him develop a new program to help him study.” 

“Jon has been a tremendous help to us. We are very appreciative of all the time and hard work that Jonathan has extended to us this far.  Thank you for helping us find such talent.”

“I took my math placement test, and was planning on taking regular precalculus, but I ended up getting not only above the average score on the test for regular precalc, but for honors too! So my math teacher ended up placing me in the honors precalc course this year, which is going to be really difficult but I think I am going to try it and see how it goes. The tutoring this summer definitely made that possible so thank you!!”

“I feel as if after meeting with him I truly understood the material as opposed to him just doing it for me.”

“Jonathan helped me build confidence, skills and knowledge that go beyond any exam. I think any individual could benefit from having Jonathan in their life.”

“Jonathan is an exceptional tutor. My daughter has worked with him twice and I would hire him again. He tutored my daughter in two graduate classes and she ended up doing very well in both classes with Jonathan’s help. He puts the work in to help the student have a better grasp of the material. He provides great notes for the student to look at after the session is over. He is very intelligent and easy to understand. I am very happy my daughter had the opportunity to work with Jonathan. He is also extremely nice and respectful so the sessions are pleasant and enjoyable.”

“Jonathan has tutored both my daughter and my son. He is an amazing tutor and a great person. He understands the material and communicates it in a manner that is positive and clear. He is not condescending. He summarizes the material at the end of each session. I would absolutely hire Jonathan again and can recommend him without any reservations.”

“Jonathan started as a tutor for my son who was beginning his Junior year of high school. He needed support with his AP Chem, Math and overall prepping and studying for ACT and SAT Subject tests. Jonathan immediately gained his trust by really teaching him deeper into the subjects at hand, which long term has really allowed him to excel. Jonathan is very thorough and thoughtful in his teaching. He was very honest up front about what kind of student he thought my son was & where he needed work; he found his strengths and worked lessons through from there; he improved my son’s confidence as a student in his most important year and he has seen dramatic results – from his highest ever GPA to higher than expected ACT scores. Moreover, Jonathan keeps him organized, focused and planning for the next study sessions and exams. Jonathan is also exceptionally caring for his students. My son has recommended Jonathan to his own friends – which I think speaks volumes. It is clear that Jonathan is very very smart, but he has the ability to teach others, which is a very different skill.”

“Jonathan has changed the way my son studies, he is god sent to us. Not only is he the most valuable asset for studying, he helped us through the entire ACT program. He is extremely knowledgeable about his subjects including SAT/ACT. I’m so grateful to have been able to find him. My son developed learning habits and study patterns that he will use on to college and work. If something didn’t work, he would develop another system that addressed my son’s weakness.”

“I hired Jonathan as an SAT tutor for my son. I would most definitely hire him again. He was truly exceptional in his ability to connect with my son and meet him at his level. He made him completely comfortable with taking risks and learning. He gave clear and concise techniques to solve problems and to understand the material. He came into my son’s life at a potentially stressful time and made the entire experience stress-free!!! He is a gentle and calm soul with tons of knowledge and skill. Anyone who hires him will be thrilled with the results.”

“I saw Jonathan once every 1-2 weeks to prepare for the SAT and I would definitely hire him again. He was truly exceptional in the sense that I really enjoyed working with him because of how interested he seemed in the material. The eagerness to learn/teach radiated from Jonathan. Jonathan was a better tutor than I could have dreamed for and I am extremely happy that he made this process somewhat enjoyable and human (as opposed to robotic). Also, he was always perfectly on time and always responded to texts quickly.”

“Jonathan is amazing! He is knowledgeable in the material and the tests, he is motivating, encouraging and available to answer questions and have sessions. Jonathan, through notes, follow up and individual attention makes his students appreciate the progress of mastering the material. He participates in the journey of their learning. I honestly can not think of anything Jonathan do better.”

“I worked with Jonathan in preparation for the SAT over the course of four or so months. We met once a week over Zoom to go over practice tests and SAT tips and tricks. Over the course of my lessons, my understanding of and comfortability with the test improved drastically. He helped me learn the different ways I could approach the many types of questions the test poses so that I could maximize my score. Not only that, he helped me understand my thought processes as I approached different questions and the ways in which I could tweak them to ensure that I didn’t make any unnecessary mistakes. He allowed me to feel confident in my test taking ability and improve as a student, I highly recommend him as a tutor to anyone who is looking to become a better test taker.” 

“Jonathan meets all expectations but mostly he instilled the love of knowledge! He is the perfect combination of encouraging/praising and challenging. Both of my kids were looking forward for his sessions and learned from him.”

“Jonathan was my MCAT tutor for several weeks remotely while I was studying at college. While I was facing what seemed like a monster exam while also handling a full course load at school, Jonathan served as an incredible resource and, notably, a huge source of support. I would absolutely hire Jonathan again because he was an incredible tutor. Not only was he knowledgable about so many aspects of the exam, but he took special care to pick up patterns on my learning style and offer me the best advice on how to most productively use the study time I had. He was diligent and organized, helping me not only with information but also with study tactics. He even helped with decisions regarding test dates and application cycles, all the while maintaining a strong sense of hope and optimism that I would succeed to my fullest ability. Jonathan nurtured the curious side of me that loved learning the exam material and truly made me feel excited to study. He is incredible!”

“Jonathan aided me in my journey in studying for the MCAT. He was my tutor for two and a half months; we met essentially every week up until my MCAT. I would hire Jonathan one hundred times over! He was the best decision I ever made in studying for the MCAT. He had the best impact on me. He not only greatly boosted my knowledge of MCAT topics, but he gave me the confidence and positive mental framework to get where I wanted to be. He was truly exceptional. His knowledge and willingness to work with me made a stressful situation so much more bearable. He almost made MCAT studying enjoyable by pushing me in a productive way each and every week to inch closer and closer to my goal. Please take advantage of this amazing opportunity to learn about yourself but also get the best MCAT tutoring out there. Jonathan started out as my tutor but truly became a mentor and friend and someone who I will always be grateful for!”

“Jonathan is an awesome MCAT tutor! We met virtually 1-2x a week for the last month of my MCAT studying. Even though we were in different states, he makes his tutorees feel like a priority and he is very easily accessible for any questions. His approach includes mindfulness techniques to help you are a whole, not just a studying robot. As someone who had previously taken the MCAT after a class with a “Big Name Study Course”, Jonathan helped improve my score significantly in comparison. I would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan to anyone and everyone.”

“Jonathan tutored me while I was preparing form my MCAT. We met virtual about once a week and sometimes twice a week depending on the content that was covered that week or how close the exam date was. I would definitely hire Jonathan again. He helped me not only study for the MCAT in an efficient and supported way but he helped me develop and hone life skills and mindful practices that I will carry with me into the next phase of my life. Jonathan was truly exceptional and I would 100% recommend him to a friend.”

“Jonathan does not just meet expectations he definitely exceeds them. He is always there to support you which is incredible considering his own responsibilities and work life. He was respectful and made sure to build rapport with his students. He connects with his students on a personal level and also help them improve stress management and overall wellbeing. As he was once a pre-medical student himself he makes it really easy to connects and empathizes with you. He is very knowledgable and has many years of experience tutoring but also being a student himself. This along with his motivational attitude allows students to reach their potential.”

“My son has worked with several tutors – for the SAT, AP exams, subject tests. He is a top student and a very analytical kid with high scores on standardized testing. He ranked Jonathan far far above any of his prior tutors-for grasp of material, teaching style, organization and efficiency of teaching. Jonathan taught my son half of bio in 10 days with daily testing, quizzes and reading for the SAT subject test. Unbelievably my son had a great time (despite the fact that this was over a vacation), really enjoyed the sessions and aced the test. Jonathan is an exceptionally wonderful teacher! Your child will be lucky to have him!”

“You’re an amazing teacher! I think I learned more in two weeks with you about bio (in general, not even necessarily relating to the SAT Subject Test) than I did during year-long classes at school.”

“Jonathan tutored me for an SAT subject test over the course of about 2 months. Throughout these 2 months, I had a lot of fun, deepened my understanding for the subject, and most importantly gained the confidence I needed to do well on my subject test. I would definitely hire Jonathan again when taking another test because he had a huge impact on my test preparedness and my confidence going into the test. Jonathan is a truly exceptional tutor from his ability to make things fun and interesting, his flexibility in scheduling and style of learning, and his effectiveness. Something really great that Jonathan does is send questions over text to reinforce what you may have gone over that day or past tutoring sessions. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Yes, Jonathan meets my expectations. In every way yes. He is kind, smart, and communicates in a way that is easy to understand. He knows a lot about the subject and the tests, with lots of tricks to help make the topics easier to understand.”

“He was incredibly helpful in filling the gaps in my biology knowledge and provided really really effective topics (“trouble spots”) to study each time we met.”

“Jonathan helped my daughter prepare for the SAT 2 subject test. She was very excited to study with him right after their first session. He never spoke down to her and was able to pace the sessions perfectly. He is very knowledgeable, encouraging, and timely. She loved getting his quick text questions in between sessions. Jonathan emailed me after each session letting me know what was covered during the session and what was expected for the next session. He not only reassured my daughter but he reassured me as well. I would definitely recommend Jonathan as a tutor.”

“Jonathan helped me tremendously with AP bio and he made the process fun. I’ve never really had a tutor who was so passionate and enthusiastic about the topic they were helping me with. Working with him made me enjoy the AP Bio course.”
