About Jonathan

With a degree in both History and Theatre Arts from Dickinson College and years of professional tutoring expereince and social justice work, I use creative, collaborative approaches to exceeding student goals that recognize the often silent, structural challenges that students face in the American education system.

I believe in utilizing creative, student-specific strategies in test prep and content revision that best reflect the needs and talents of each individual client.

Learning large amounts of information and analytic strategies is difficult, but I believe each student has their own unique skill sets that can be harnessed to tackle any academic challenge.

I have worked as a feelance tutor in social studies, history, and acting for four years and my clients have consistently outperformed their expectations in class and on standardized tests.

I have also worked professionally for three years as a writing tutor at the Norman E. Eberly Writing Center. I assisted college students, high school students, and international political figures at the U.S. Army War College in developing useful stategies to overcome pitfalls in their writing process. I have assisted clients in drafting and polishing various pieces of academic and professional writing in all subjects including: college admissions essays, high school essays, undergraduate research papers, graduate-level research papers, undergraduate theses, cover letters, and company memos. I am trained to assist clients at any stage in their writing process whether they are at the final editing phase or have just started brainstorming.

About the lesson

My first session with a student is often centered on garnering a sense of their comfort with the material and a survey of their preferred methods of instruction.

I lead with "What has worked for you in the past and what types of assignments/material are you least comfortable with?"

From here, I like to set a list of goals with my student and a tentative schedule of progress.

Then we jump right into the material or assignment. Our first session might involve me asking many questions, but this is only to learn a bit about the student's learning preferences and strengths so that I might better plan for the future.

From here, I can draft an outline for the rest of our progress. At the second session, I will have prepared a flexible plan for tackling the rest of the material that will adjust as I continue to learn from my student what works best for them and what study methods they enjoy.

Ultimately, my approach rarely involves a brush-stroke method of reviewing material. Instead, I prefer to learn from the student as we progress so that we can develop tailored life-long study and work techniques that they can use outside of our sessions.
