We now have a face book fan page: Tutorjohn

If you are tired of going to the large tutoring services where they cram you into small desk with 200 people in the room, you have come to the right place.

The Tutorjohn cast

John Forsyth: AKA Tutorjohn

I started tutoring math and physics right after graduation from A&M in the Fall of 1999. I started with small classes that met in either the library at A&M, or out of a spare bedroom in my house. I have many years experience with the teachers at A&M as well as with different teaching methods. I have worked primarily with small groups, but as my business has expanded I am now able to work with larger groups just as well. Weekly class sizes are restricted so that the quality of my service does not decrease, as class size increases. As for my education, I have two degrees, one in Physics, and one in Civil Engineering. I was 2 classes short of a Math degree when A&M told me to get out. (I was trying to be a professional student.) I have close to 250 hours on my transcript with a wide variety of subjects. My Family Motto: Instaurator Ruinae (repairer of ruin). Classes Currently taught: Ag Econ 317, Info 303, 305, Math 141,142 Stat 301,302,303 Classes can teach: Math 102,103,131,141,142,166,150,151,152,365,366, Physics 201,202, Stat 201,211,212,301,302,303 Info 303,305, Epsy 435, Ag Econ 317, and their equivalents at other schools.

Jake Spiegelhauer

Jake is originally from Huntsville, TX (he was not an inmate). After leaving he embarked on a trek of discovery taking him as far north as Alaska and as far east as Turkey. He's been a commercial fisherman off the shores of Kodiak Island, a Haley-Davidson mechanic/salesman in Houston and a bartender in too many places to remember; he's published one novel and written several others; all in a sometimes comical effort to discover the logical relations connecting his life. It makes him uniquely qualified to help you understand logic or anything else in the field of philosophy as he's either pursued or broken their every rule. Since receiving his BA in English and Philosophy from Texas A&M in 2001 and his MA in Philosophy two years later, he's remained in College Station with his wife where he continues to write books and take up odd jobs waiting for that bestseller.

The courses we offer tutoring for are subjects that you can't cram for. That is why I provide weekly sessions to augment your normal studies. If I can help you to really learn the subject, you will be much better prepared for the variety of questions that may be asked on a test. Not only will this help you get a better grade in the class you are currently taking, but it will also help the one after that.

This is what a few satisfied customers had to say:

"John is a genius when it comes to math and physics, but that's not even the best part. John knows how to take difficult concepts and break them down into the simplest terms to help anyone understand. He also is very perceptive and can sense how fast or slow he should go with the material for a student." -- Lisa Dingwall "TUTOR JOHN is an awesome tutor. He makes complicated concepts a piece of cake! He makes up funny stories and ways to remember the rules of math. I took MATH 141 and MATH 142 with him and I not only passed....i made B's. He knows all of his students, their strengths and weaknesses, and their teachers. He know what will be harder to understand and makes it easy. TUTOR JOHN IS THE BEST!!!!!" -- Carley McAnally
