Passionately Curious: Jon Dreyer,
Math Tutor and Computer Science Tutor

I am a mathematics tutor and computer science tutor based in Lexington, Massachusetts. Patient, positive, and focusing more on students' strengths than weaknesses, I enjoy finding ways to help students to gain facility, depth of understanding, appreciation of mathematical thinking, and reawakened curiosity. I help students to discover connections between new topics and things they already know. Working this way, students gain fluency and confidence as they see math more as a coherent body of knowledge and as a powerful way of thinking, and less as a series of disconnected facts and techniques. I do all of this with a sense of humor, building genuine relationships with my students.

Summer and fall

I have cleaned up the end of the school year on my calendar. Please check and make sure it's what you would like. If you would like to work with me over the summer or in the fall, and I hope you do, please contact me. Signing up now for fall gets you the best choice of time slots.

Homeschool math

I always have plenty of time for homeschool math and computer science students and others who can meet before the end of the traditional school day.

Stay-at-home parents

Do you find that you can no longer help your child with math homework? Ask about how, while helping you to help your child, I can also help you to reduce your own math anxiety and to find it all fascinating.

Social Networking

This is the way the modern world works, apparently. So I'd appreciate it if students and parents would visit my social networking page and do the social networking thing with the networks you use, hopefully positively. That page makes it very easy. Thank you!
