"Hi, I’m Jon! I am a husband, dog lover, and AP chemistry teacher with nearly 10 years of high school and adjunct undergraduate teaching experience. I’ve taught well over 1,000 students and have tutored students who have pursued a variety of pathways, from Ivy League schools to blue collar jobs. I am currently certified to teach in both Illinois and Oklahoma, and have taught and tutored students from ages 15 to 23 in everything from beginning high school chemistry to college chemistry 1 and 2.

With a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry Education from Olivet Nazarene University, I focus on using analogies and building connections with students that bridge the gap between what they know already and what they are trying to learn. My teaching and tutoring style is personable, relatable, and encouraging, and I have always received positive feedback and referrals from students and parents who trust me with their time.

Whether you are learning chemistry for the first time and want to build a solid foundation, or you have been through the ringer and never felt like you had a good grasp, I can help you achieve your chemistry goals." less...
