The courses for which we offer tutoring are subjects that you can't cram for; that is why we provide weekly sessions to augment your normal studies. If we 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 these sessions help you get a better grade in the course you are currently taking, but it will also help the one after that. |

In high school I found out that I was good at explaining complex subjects to others. I spent time after school helping my friends with math. Later when I went to college I had an opportunity to be a teaching assistant while I was an undergraduate student in Physics. I don't know how many students I had who told me that I was one of the best teachers that they ever had. At the time I didn't know what to think of it, I was just a kid, and some of my students were older than I was. But over time these complements didn't stop, and it at the time, I didn't think about using this as a career. In 1988 I transferred to Texas A&M, where I switched majors to Engineering. I needed a job and got one in the physics department. This was a good start, it introduced me to tutoring classes for students. It wasn't until a few years later that I started tutoring for the athletic department. That was an experience. Some of the athletes really wanted to succeed both on the playing field and in academics. I quickly got the reputation as one of the best tutors in the program, and had quite a few of the indispensable players as my students. It was at this time that I started saving money to open up Tutorjohn. After getting a loan from my brother, I started it in fall 1999, and it kept growing from there. I had the privilege to help A larger portion of the student body each year. One of the things that gives me great joy is that now I have the children of my early students coming to me for help with their classes. |
