MR. JOHNATHAN THOMAS-ACADEMIC COACH/MATHEMATICS TUTOR
JOHNATHAN C. THOMAS
Being child number four out of five and growing up in rural Alabama it was hard to find my place in the world. After graduating high school, I attended Mississippi State University where I pursued a degree in Civil Engineering. Toward the end of my third year, I decided to join the United States Air Force. Enjoying 14 years of service as a Hydraulic Specialist while earning the rank of Technical Sergeant, allowed me to attend the Community College of the Air Force. There I obtained my Associate Degree in Aircraft Mechanics and Propulsion. While serving, it is here I gained a love of teaching and the knowledge of numbers. After exiting active duty I joined the U.S. Air Force Reserve to pursue my love of mathematics. I attended Mississippi College earning a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and a minor in Psychology. While enrolled in school, I worked at the Boys and Girls Club of Central Mississippi. While there, I tutor early mathematics, Algebra, Problem Solving, Geometry, and Calculus.
Currently, I work at the Mississippi Department of Transportation where I am the State Construction Estimator. By tutoring, I can help students find their unique way of understanding the numbers they see in textbooks and everyday life. Understanding numbers is a key to unlocking many doors of opportunity.
