"Jonny is a high school mathematics teacher in the Bronx. He holds a BA in Drama from Tufts University, where he graduated magna cum laude and received the Goddard Rhetorical Prize for Excellence in Acting. Jonny sat for the official SAT as an adult in solidarity with his students, and scored perfect 800s in both Critical Reading and Math (without a calculator). He has taught test preparation classes at Gregorio Luperon HS for Science & Mathematics, The Beacon School, La Salle High School, Fort Hamilton High School, Millennium Brooklyn High School, Millennium Manhattan High School, Cliffside Park High School, and more throughout the New York Metropolitan Area. He also taught GED Prep at Lehman College and Brooklyn Public Library for a number of years. After getting his MA in Mathematics Education from Teachers College at Columbia University, Jonny now teaches Mathematics at a public high school for the arts in the Bronx.

Jonny has worked with hundreds of students to achieve success on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. Academically, he specializes in working with students to more fully understand math concepts from pre-algebra through calculus. He loves helping artistically minded students discover how math can be a creative world. Jonny has been working virtually with students around the world since he first began tutoring in 2013, so he is familiar with the limits and opportunities of online learning. As so much education moves online, hybrid, or through other changes driven by the COVID pandemic, he brings years of experience with the world of "zoom-learning" to each interaction.

A performer who loves number puzzles, Jonny enjoys working with artistically-minded students who may not identify as "math people"... yet. He seeks to build confidence and approach math as a creative world, not a discouraging one." less...
