AP Biology
Jonathan is the best AP Biology tutor I’ve worked with! He doesn’t just teach – he ensures you truly understand the material. He’s skilled at adjusting his teaching to suit your learning style; when I struggled with genetics problems, he used step-by-step walkthroughs that simplified Punnett squares and pedigree analysis. His sessions are well-organized, with clear objectives and follow-up questions that deepen understanding. Jonathan also helped me refine my writing skills for AP, focusing on scientific accuracy and concise explanations. My confidence has soared since working with him. Absolutely recommend!

AP Biology
Jonathan is a great teacher! He always provides the most comprehensible and concise explanations for biological terms, which are hard for students who have English as second language. He is a very good listener. Whenever I get things wrong, he would listen closely to where I was wrong and correct them without making me feel bad! Now I feel more confident in my AP bio and Jonathan’s classes boost my determination in studying biology in uni!

AP Biology
Jonathan is an exceptional AP Biology tutor. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex topics like cellular respiration and DNA replication into manageable, easy-to-understand segments. His visual aids, such as custom diagrams and flowcharts, made processes like the Krebs cycle finally click for me. Jonathan is also incredibly patient; he never rushes through material and encourages questions until I fully grasp the concepts. His real-world examples, like explaining enzyme-substrate interactions using everyday analogies, were incredibly effective. Moreover, he provided helpful tips for tackling free-response questions, which significantly boosted my confidence during exams. Thanks to his structured approach and tailored practice, my AP scores improved dramatically. Highly recommend him!
