About John S
I have taught in urban, suburban, and rural environments. In my last teaching job, I was the entire mathematics department. Every day for almost a decade, I taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalc/Trig, Applied Math, and AP Calculus. I ended up writing my own curriculum, so I really got to learn the intimate details of the subject matter. These insights were very important in helping me break down the material into ways that a student could better understand things.

My first meeting with a student is free of charge. We see if things can work out including things like technology compatibility. To work together online I use Zoom along with an interactive app called Scribble. Scribble can be used with an iPad or similar device. An alternative is a writing tablet connected to a Mac or PC. I tend to teach using guided practice. I give examples of the topic at hand and then have the student work problems or give feedback to check for understanding. If in person, I like to use an actual whiteboard. If online, the student and I use an interactive whiteboard. This is much better than simply having me lecture the student. I also try to explain, whenever possible, the logic behind what is needed to solve a problem or explain a concept. For example, in order to prove the triangle sum theorem one must know about parallel lines and the angle properties associated with the parallel lines (usually the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem). In short, I try to prove what we use before we use it. A tutoring session is based on what the student is trying to accomplish. If it is a specific topic (e.g. factoring polynomials) I would provide a more structured approach with numerous examples and practice problems. If it is a session going over specific questions that the student has, I would ask to see the questions ahead of time, if possible, and then work through the problem with the student. I feel some of the things that set me apart are the results I was able to get in the classroom. On the AP Calculus Exams my students had a 93% pass rate, with over 80% of my students scoring a 4 or 5. On the state-administered Math SAT, my students were always near the top of the state. There was no secret to our success: we practiced to the best of our ability the types of things we expected to see on these tests well ahead of time. The key to success is preparation.

Hayworth is a fabulous math teacher! I am a mother of 5 boys. My boys thrived with Mr. Hayworth. He relates and teaches in a way that the students understand and retain the concepts. He is a trustworthy man who will follow through 100%! You will not find a better Math Teacher.
John has been tutoring my daughter for many months and is absolutely a godsend. He not only knows what he is doing, knows how to motivate, but he actually makes sure she knows the material instead of wasting her time for a paycheck. Absolutely the best!
John Hayworth taught 3 of our son's Math in High School. All 3 scored 5's in AP Calculus. He always made himself available to them and he motivated them to put in a lot of time. They would join him and others after school, on the weekends, during their days off and during the summer. He instilled in them a tremendous work ethic and helped coach them with life skills in addition to math. One of our sons went on to West Point and while there he was invited to join a team to compete in an International Math Competition where they received Honors. He credits Mr. Hayworth with the preparation he needed to be successful. I highly recommend Mr. Hayworth to you and if you have any questions you can call me at 208-921-2973.
My son has had AMAZING success in his engineering program. It all turned around with TheMathDawg, His help with Calculus has really had been a huge turning point but the skill of teaching all levels of math
is clearly evident. Great Thanks MathDawg!I have worked with Mr. Haworth throughout my time in high school and I have never found nor heard of a teacher that is as dedicated to his students. He is personally invested into helping students reach their full potential and will work along side you with 100% attention until you feel not only comfortable but even confident in the material. Mr. Haworth is the poster child for dedicated teachers that care about his students success and I wish there were more teachers in the world that could be more like him.
Mr H is an amazing teacher. He actually gets students excited and motivated to learn math. He is great with students and he makes them want to learn. He has taught 2 of my High School Boys and both excelled under his direction. Mr. H goes above and beyond as a teacher. You will be very impressed with his level of dedication to your student!
He is the absolutely best math teacher I have ever come across! No one is more dedicated than he is. He is like a Marine who leaves no one behind. Instead of just giving assignments and correcting them he is doing the problem with you step by step until you KNOW what you are doing.
