Jon Dreyer: Math Tutor and Computer Science Tutor
In just a few sessions, his test scores have improved a lot, he's participating more in class and his confidence has gone way up. You and he also seem to have a great relationship.—a family friend
I am a mathematics tutor and computer science tutor based in Lexington, Massachusetts. Students find me to be patient and positive. I enjoy finding ways to help students to gain facility, depth of understanding, appreciation of mathematical thinking, and reawakened curiosity. I help students to connect new topics with things students already know, so math becomes more of a coherent body of knowledge and way of thinking, and less a series of disconnected facts and techniques. I do all of this with a sense of humor and genuine relationships with my students.
I am a licensed teacher with degrees in education (Harvard), mathematics (Carleton), and computer science (Wisconsin). I have taught high school and middle school, in the city and in the suburbs. My résumé has the details.
As your tutor, I work for you. Some days you might want to embrace the struggle to learn deeply; other days you might want to blast through a homework assignment as quickly as possible. It's up to you.
We can work on pretty much any topic from elementary school math through BC Calculus, including the SAT math tests (Math Reasoning test and the Math subject tests, Levels 1 and 2) or from basic Web design through AP Computer Science. I welcome homeschoolers.
Please get in touch if you have questions or are interested in setting up a tutoring session. The first session is on me, so why not?
One of my students taught me the Einstein quote from which I took the passionately curious
motto. That quote inspires me, and I hope it inspires my students as well. It is a reminder to my students and to me that reawakened curiosity is a big step towards mastery.
