Jonathan has dedicated his career to helping elementary, secondary, and post-secondary students develop the reading, speaking, and writing skills they need to succeed in college and at work. His education and 12 years of teaching experience (in secondary and post-secondary) has led him to develop tools and resources for students, teachers, and parents. His motivation stems from the potential that he sees in every student and from the work of inspired educators who make a difference in students' lives every day.
