I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. NOW BOOKING in-home sessions. Daytime, evening and weekend hours are still available.
Whether your student will be on campus or working online, learning doesn't have to be a drag! I work hard to make each session a pleasant, positive and rewarding experience.
After decades of promoting children's TV shows, I've transitioned my joy of working with children to helping them learn. From appearing as Transformer's Optimus Prime at public events to handling publicity and promotion for such iconic properties as Pac-Man, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, My Little Pony, Jem & The Holograms, Transfromers, G.I. Joe and many others, I have worked in the kids' business for more than 20 years. In the education field, I served as a publicist for Carson-Dellosa Publishing, the leading provider of supplemental curriculum solutions in the U.S.
I brought my skills to the classroom in 2008 when I joined Mad Science Los Angeles. As "Jupiter John," I taught science to grades K-6 as part of an after-school program in schools throughout the Los Angeles area for the next 5 years. In 2013, I joined Club Z Tutoring where I have tutored students in grades 2-8 in most subject areas. I have particular expertise in math because I find it fun to manipulate numbers and I enjoy showing students how to visualize them.
I also work with college students, especially older students attending college later in life, who need help sharpening the math skills they learned in high school. I can quickly identify your problem areas and help you build a foundation of skills that will enable you to progress through your college math courses including finite math, business math, algebra, geometry and statistics.
I volunteered at Helmers Elementary School in Santa Clarita while my son was attending. I was an art instructor for grades 1, 2 and 4 and a computer keyboard instructor for grade 2.
I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Marketing and Management from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where I graduated at the top of my class and earned the year's class award for the highest GPA among any student with a double major.
My approach to learning is to help students "figure it out" so they can master the skills and apply them when working independently. I strive to quickly build an amicable relationship with both students and parents, and then show kids how to best navigate the material to discover what they need to apply to complete the lesson successfully.
I have worked with CA 504 students and children with ADHD.
I am familiar with the California Common Core Curriculum.
