Jon Dreyer: Math Tutor and Computer Science Tutor

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 work from a student's strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses. I do all of this with a sense of humor, building genuine relationships with my students.

For more information about me and my practice, please see the about page or explore the other links at the top of this page.

Summer!

Have you signed up for a course next year which is a stretch for you? Are you concerned that you didn't learn what you needed to this year? Would you like to jump up a level next year? Are there some topics you are curious about? If so, consider tutoring over the summer. Before you roll your eyes, consider the positives:

• Life is more relaxed in the summer. You can take your time and learn more deeply.
• It won't take much of your time. It'll still feel like summer.
• Previous comment notwithstanding, we can schedule as much time as you'd like.
• My schedule is pretty wide open during the summer. Talk to me.

Fall!

It's not too early to think about tutoring in the fall. The sooner you know your schedule and your needs well enough to pick time slots, the better your choices.

Reserving time slots

I will reserve a time slot for you if we will have a more or less unbroken time working together or if you leave a deposit (e.g. over the summer). Please let me know if you are interested.
