About Jon

I'm a mathematics and statistics graduate from the University of Queensland (with a year studied at the University of Western Australia). I've tutored 100's of students of all ages and helped them achieve confidence and competence in units they once found very challenging.

About the lesson

Math and Stats aren’t the easiest subjects to get through, and if you’re coming into a compulsory math/stats unit without much of a math background it could very well look like you’re trying to learn a foreign language. The fact that it all builds on earlier topics covered, means that by a couple of weeks in, you could be feeling left quite behind very quickly. And not only that, a lot of seemingly unrelated fields like psychology or marketing require an understanding of statistics and math that probably wasn't expected. The good news is that by breaking it down and explaining it in a way that makes sense for anyone (regardless of prior math experience), what was once very intimidating now doesn’t seem that difficult at all! As a tutor with over 7 years of experience helping students achieve the marks and understanding they desire, I'm able to help busy students get on top of their material as stress free as possible. During my time studying some very difficult units, I found summarizing my notes with flow charts and breaking problems down into small steps helped greatly. And I’ve found that helping students with this technique really translates well with tutoring. It helps students greatly in understanding the fundamentals of the material and accelerates the progress, cutting back on the frustrating hours being spent trying to learn it solo. A recent focus of my tutoring has been on helping undergraduate and postgrad students in biostatistics, mostly for public health units. In addition to that and the standard undergrad math/stats subjects (psych stats, calculus, linear algebra etc.) I’ve also tutored a number of people looking to sit the GMAT exam to get into business school and students sitting the defense force entrance exam. My main strength as a tutor lies in the fact that I’m very patient with students and I can explain the concepts from different angles until it sinks in. I’m a problem solver that likes to break down a concept and explain it as simply as possible. If you need help or have any questions, feel free to contact me and see how I'm able to assist you in your studies!

Perfect! I came to Jon for tutoring after failing a psychology statistics exam, feeling completely overwhelmed. Jon is the most patient, kind, and encouraging tutor I’ve ever had. He explained difficult concepts in a way that finally made sense, and always had answers to my many questions. Together we worked through practice questions and made strategies for me to tackle complex problems. With Jon’s guidance and support I felt more confident and was able to pass my supplementary exam! I can’t recommend Jon highly enough!

Perfect! I was looking for someone to introduce me to calculus to help me feel prepared for grad school in the US. Jon responded quickly to my enquiry and was very flexible to schedule a time and place to meet. It had been almost 10 years since I looked at basic mathematics and I was never very good. Learning from Jon increased my confidence! I learned new things in math that I had never seen before and Jon was able to find ways to explain it very clearly to me. Highly recommend. I'll continue to see Jon virtually while I am in the US for all my math needs!

Perfect! Jon was an excellent tutor, very flexible with my roster and we even did a couple of zoom sessions when I was working away. I was completely flummoxed with the Biostatistics unit of my Master of Public Health and he helped break it down so that I could understand it more easily. Thanks to Jon's guidance I managed to get a distinction, whereas I would have failed without his tutoring

Perfect! Jon helped me with my biostatistics course which was a compulsory module of my masters degree; and if it wasn’t for his help, I probably would’ve failed the course. He explains concepts so well and makes them easy to understand. He was available when I needed him and helped me to understand biostatistics when I thought I never could! Thanks Jon! 100% recommend Jon to anyone struggling with statistics or maths.

Jon tutored me for my quantitative data unit at Curtin University as part of my MPH. After sitting my first test and only just scraping by with a pass I decided I needed help. And that was Jon! I have not got a strong maths background, and Jon was very kind, understanding and worked around my limited maths knowledge.

I was super stressed by this unit, however knowing I could see Jon weekly to work through things was a huge help, took the stress off and I started to relax and enjoy the unit (and learn enough to help others!)
My only regret was not finding Jon till I had sat my first test.

I would recommend Jon as a tutor to anyone who needs some support. He was always reliable and made time to see me, and was very flexible. I really appreciated all of his help!

Jon is by far the BEST tutor I've ever had. He tutored me in a statistics unit, I started with little knowledge and within a few sessions I became super confident in my ability to nail the content he taught me. He is friendly and willing to put in the extra work to make sure you get what you need. He is understanding and kind with a great sense of humour that encouraged me to keep persevering in a tough unit. Jon summarised and simplified difficult content and tailored his teaching style to my learning needs. Would 10/10 recommend him to anyone I know.

Find out more about Jon

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
I first developed an interest in tutoring in when I offered to help a university friend out who was having difficulty with some statistics. It turned out I enjoyed it a lot and was able to help a lot more than either of us expected. From there my passion for it just grew and grew as I started advertising my services and helping more and more people
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
The main subject I teach is statistics and specifically biostatistics. It's basically a way of applying statistics to health research and seeing what affects diseases and health and separating random variability from actual effects. I like to really break it down into something very simple and look at it from different angles until it sinks in for the student.
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
Shout out Mrs Blackwood! She taught me that there's no such thing as a silly question and that patience and perseverance pays off!
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
Patience, first and foremost. A lot of the material is quite difficult when you encounter it for the first time, so even though I've seen the subject material a 1000 times, I always put myself in place of the student and try and see it for the first time with them to see where their understanding is coming from and what's giving them difficulty. I guess add to that empathy! After that, I think it's very important to be understanding and kind (it's an honour and a privilege to be able to help someone learn something). Finally being able to break down a problem into its simplest components really helps in allowing someone to understand and fully grasp something.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school. And, What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or are still facing in your subject?
I failed a maths unit during my time at uni. It was called Chaos theory (lived up to its name!), and I hadn't done the recommended prerequisites which really hurt me. Add to that teachers that weren't necessarily interested in making sure the students understood the material and I end up getting 49% overall. It was devastating at the time and put me back a semester but ended up being one of my most valuable lessons and I'ms so grateful for it. It taught me so much, especially how NOT to learn (and with that how to learn effectively).
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
I love research. I love breaking down something complex into its building blocks. I mainly do this through flowcharts and other visual aids. And I love then explaining these things to other people and the satisfaction I get when they understand it is so rewarding. That's why I love tutoring so much!
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions)?
My ability to relate to my students and tailor my sessions to their own unique learning style and preferences.. coupled with my love of learning and breaking down complex things into simpler things.
