JSCI Tutoring Services
Prep Company
Overview
Run by Joseph J. D'Agostino -- a former MENSA member, Temple University adjunct professor, and former private school principal -- JCSI Tutoring is a one-man operation based in Doylestown, PA with decades of teaching experience behind it. His credentials include an MBA in Computer Science and a BS in Accounting from Temple, plus studies in physics, electrical engineering, and pre-med.
Mr. D'Agostino tutors an impressively wide range of subjects: math at every level from pre-algebra through calculus and statistics, plus physics, English, French, Latin, and SAT/ACT prep. His website highlights a 200-point SAT score increase as a featured result.
His teaching philosophy centers on breaking complex material down to its fundamentals and relating it to real life, so students truly understand concepts rather than just memorizing them. He begins each engagement by assessing where the student currently stands and tailoring lessons from there.
Sessions typically happen at his Doylestown home office, though he can travel in special circumstances. Families in Bucks, Mercer, and Philadelphia counties are within his service area.
