Who Are We?
Hello! My name is Jon Wherry, and it’s great to meet you.
I’ve been teaching since 2008, and I find that every new class brings forward new challenges and rewards. I have my Masters of Art in Teaching from Pacific University, MS in Mathematics from University of Oregon, and a BS in Mathematics with an option in Secondary Education along with minors in both Writing and Actuarial Science.
My guiding principle is access. I want to make sure that you, the student, have the resources that you need to be successful. If you find that there are tools that you need that you can’t find, let’s me know and let’s create it.
