Meet the Owner and Founder, John Jolly
John's interest in math and science was sparked, interestingly, by his struggles with these subjects in high school. Motivated by this difficult experience, he gained a deep understanding of them on his way to earning his bachelor's degree in biology at the University of California.
Following graduation, John rode his bike across the U.S., then worked as a research assistant in Panama and Ecuador. After some time spent traveling, John worked 28 years as an environmental data analyst in Austin. After retiring from that position, he started Mr Jolly's Tutoring!
A Passion for Tutoring
In 2014, John began tutoring middle- and high-schoolers in evenings and on weekends, quickly finding passion and purpose in this. Now that this is his primary occupation, he tutors during the day, as well as most evenings and weekends.
John has tutored some 300 students, including students on both coasts, the UK, and Austria.
John is married and has 3 kids, ages 16-25. During his free time, John loves riding his bike, hiking, doing yoga, and traveling.
