I have a solid background in statistics, economics, finance and mathematics through differential calculus. I am also very conversant with American and European history. I'm good at explaining difficult concepts from a number of angles and always love to see a mind "get it." You're never too young or too old to learn! I was raised in Montgomery, AL and attended the Montgomery Academy where I was the class valedictorian. I obtained an honors degree in Comparative Military and Diplomatic Histor...

SAS
I have hands-on experience with SAS programming and statistics procedures. While employed with BBVA Compass I routinely used SAS to perform statistical analyses on various account level data for deposit and loan products. I can effectively communicate the basic SAS GUI, data manipulation routines, and numerous statistical procedures in detail. I have also performed statistical analyses using SAS on behalf of researchers at the Auburn Raptor Center and Gulf World Marine Park (Panama City, FL).

Mr. John is an excellent and patient tutor for my boys. He is also very flexible about adding additional nights when tests or exams are scheduled that week.
Deloris E. from Montgomery, AL
John B. is an excellent tutor, who is patient, instructional, and maintains a quality of student learning outcome. John has tutored me on two different subjects in math and finance. Although these subjects were quite challenging for me, once John started tutoring me, these subjects became less challenging and much easier to understand. Because of his instruction, I was able to learn the course material and pass the courses with a good grade. I would highly recommend John B. as a tutor for any student who is in need of help.
Robert E. from Montgomery, AL
Mr. B. is very patient and will go over things until the student understands how to do the math problem correctly.

When I found out that Statistical Analysis was going to be a part of my MBA Program Curriculum I was very apprehensive as it had been sometime since I had worked with numbers in a classroom setting. Luckily, John quickly put my fears at ease. I have been around a lot of educators over the years and John is second to none. Each session he brings it with enthusiasm and comprehensive instruction. You will leave each session feeling more and more confident on the subject matter he is providing instruction on and it will be reflected in your class performance. Excellent return on the dollar!

John helped me through understanding Statistics after not being in school for many years. He made things simple to grasp and retain!
Tryon M. from Montgomery, AL
Ensures you understand the complete concept. Worked with me for several months on GMAT preparation informing me of the best strategies to succeed.
Brian P. from Prattville, AL
Great tutor! John has helped me tackle the Statistics beast. Very knowledgeable, patient, easy to work with and makes sure the material is understood before moving on to something else. I like how he recaps what has been covered before we move on to a new section. He has been very flexible with his schedule and very responsive. Definitely would recommend and if I ever need help again I know who to call.
Lucille T. from Montgomery, AL
Tutor is very patient with my son who is twelve years old and gets bored fast. He is a great tutor and my son has already improved on his math skills in only three sessions. I would recommend him to anyone!
Angela C. from Montgomery, AL
My son was failing Algebra, even with a resource teacher at his school working with him. I searched the web and came across the Wyzant site, as well as John B's profile, which is extremely impressive. John has, in a short period of time, helped my son to pull his grade up by two letter grades!! He went from failing tests to making an A and B on his last two tests!! He is now helping with US History as well, again with dramatic results. He is working with us to prepare for exams, and has been an answer to this mom's prayers. My son has ADHD, and John has been able to keep his attention and actually restore some of his self-esteem and improve his confidence. We will continue to use John in the future and highly recommend him.
Susie M. from Montgomery, AL
I highly recommend John as a math tutor. He is professional, easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling, and good at explaining difficult concepts. While typical math tutors are great, I was looking for a tutor who could provide my son with a little different approach to math than typical classroom teaching. I think John's professional background has really helped him to do that. He's also good at switching gears, whether my son needs help with homework, a test at school, or preparing for the ACT. My son says John is also good at identifying with the student's skill level. We have both been very pleased with the tutoring my son has received and his math grade has improved a letter grade already.

John is a fantastic calculus tutor! The WyzAnt service was suggested to me by a fellow parent for tutoring. When researching tutors, John's name came up, we contacted and met him, and the location was perfect as he lives less than 3 miles from us. John is extremely patient with our 17 year old son (senior in high school), and pointed out several key steps that were being missed in the equations. We have taken advantage of his services 2x week for the last month or so and the results have increased his grade significantly. This is a huge success for someone who doesn't like math. Additionally, as life would have it, we have had to reschedule some appointments due to last minute reasons, and John is always accommodating no matter what. He is very easy to reach and responds right away. Even though our Senior will be in college next year, if he gets "stumped" we know John can be reached easily by phone, email or text and we will hold tight to his contact info. Thank you WyzAnt for the opportunity to provide this feedback!

Great tutor. He is a good explainer. I will continue work with him.
Angela S. from Montgomery, AL
John is an absolutely "gifted" stats professor. I hesitate to call him a tutor, because that would imply that I, as a student brought a certain amount of knowledge to the table. I didn't. In fact, I hadn't had statistics before and had not had any advanced math courses. John was able to glean into the areas that I lacked understanding and zoned in to provide me with the fundamentals and foundations that I needed to get moving. John's abilities are those of a successful professor/academician and professional with real world expertise. He is able to teach and share both theoretical and practical knowledge. This is a valuable and winning combination. I highly recommend John for any level of student. Statistics is not just something he is good at and has learned, it is something that he enjoys and thus had made learning fun for me as well. Bravo John!
John M. from Montgomery, AL
Very interested in my success and understanding of Math. He is willing to work with me on scheduling and is interested in the class material.
Stinson M. from Washington, DC
John was very clear in his understanding of statistics, and was able to explain concepts clearly. I was able to immediately clear up some misunderstandings that I had to gain better knowledge of the concepts and perform better in my STATS class.
Tracey K. from Montgomery, AL
John did a great job in assisting me in learning the basics of Accounting so I could start to understand the subject matter.
David S. from Conroe, TX
John tutored me in Business Statistics, as applied to supply chain management word problems and solutions as they are done in Microsoft Excel.
Jenny M. from New York, NY
I learned a lot about what all Excel can do and got a good basic understanding of it which is exactly what I needed. He gave me tips about practicing which I definitely need to do. Am looking forward to another tutoring session.
Juanita B. from Montgomery, AL
John is very patient, passionate and knowledgeable about statistics. He is more concerned with the student learning the material. John meets the student at their place of knowledge and is able to break things down in elementary terms for the student to grasp the concepts.
Jenny C. from Tiffin, OH
John prepared for my tutor session by studying my class material. He did a great job working with someone who has little knowledge of the material
