"Hi, I'm Jon! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering with a minor in Marketing, a Master's in Quantitative Finance, and an MBA, all from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After a successful career on Wall Street, I launched my own hedge fund, which I continue to manage today. I'm also a Head Mentor at Wall Street Oasis.

Throughout my professional journey, I discovered my passion for breaking down complex topics into simple, digestible concepts through clear and well-reasoned explanations. While my expertise lies in finance, accounting, and economics, I also have a strong foundation in STEM subjects, particularly Math, Physics, and Chemistry. Additionally, I enjoy advising high school and undergraduate students on resume writing, interview preparation (especially for finance roles), and soft skills like speech communication.

With over 15 years of tutoring experience across various levels: high school, collegiate, and professional, I've honed my ability to articulate complex ideas and connect with students personally. I believe that building rapport and mutual trust is key to fostering engagement and effective learning.

I specialize in Physics, Chemistry, and Math (from Algebra to Calculus), and I'm particularly experienced with NYS Regents and AP exam preparation. I also bring extensive professional expertise in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, ideal for students seeking to apply financial modeling, economics, econometrics, essay writing, or presentation development.

I strive to make learning as accessible and enjoyable as possible and welcome suggestions or resources from parents to tailor the experience to their child's needs. I'm easy to reach, respond promptly, and maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate my students." less...
