Jason Leonard, PhD — Your Personal Tutor
With over a decade of tutoring experience and a Ph.D. in Physics, I help students master complex subjects through personalized learning, expert guidance, and real-world relevance.
Hello, I'm Jason
I bring a lifelong passion for science, problem-solving, and education to every tutoring session. After graduating from Harvey Mudd College with a degree in Physics and earning my PhD at UC San Diego, I’ve spent over a decade guiding students through the intricacies of mathematics, physics, and programming.
I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each student I work with brings unique strengths, challenges, and goals. My role is to identify those, create a strategy that works, and guide them—patiently and efficiently—to mastery.
