I was immediately impressed with John’s ability to clearly explain principles and concepts with enthusiasm and patience. John reaches a child on their individual level enabling the child to trust and embrace the skills John teaches them. John's focus is not solely on increasing grade point average but strives for the child’s broadened success in all aspects of their lives. Perseverance, hard work, dedication and seeking assistance when necessary are life lessons which once learned and applied result in personal growth and success across the board!

John has been helping my son since August 2012. He always comes well prepared to do something new with vocabulary, reading, and science.

John tutored my son for his ISEE test. He was incredibly patient with him, who tends to space off and was able to get him to concentrate on the material that was being explained. John was also very fair when it came to scheduling tutoring sessions. He was very truthful in the amount of hours that my child needed and did not try to "sell" me more hours. I would definitely seek John's services, should the need arise! Thank you, John. You were great!!! John ayudo a mi hijo a prepararse par el examen de ISEE. Fue increiblemente paciente con el, siendo mi hijo uno de esos ninos que se desconcentra muy rápido y logro ensenarle todas las materias necesarias. También me gusto mucho el hecho que no trato de venderme mas horas de las que mi hijo necesitaba. Si necesitásemos mas ayuda tutorial, definitivamente contactarÃa a John de nuevo. Mil gracias, John!

I hired John to tutor my 10 year old son for his upcoming standardized tests. From the first meeting, he was able to connect with my son and help him grasp concepts he didn't understand before. He does it in a manner that's relaxed but focused. After each session, my son feels he "learned a lot", comes out feeling upbeat and looks forward to the next session with him. I think we've found the right tutor. UPDATE: My son took his standardized test and did significantly better than in his practice tests in most areas. John was not just instrumental in getting him ready for it, but he went above and beyond by offering to write a letter of recommendation for one of the schools we are applying to, where he is an instructor. He also offered to introduce him to other kids that play chess at the school, this being one of my son’s interests. In addition, he was flexible in arranging times to meet with us and was a pleasure to work with. John really cares about his students. He will do whatever is in his power to make sure kids learn and succeed. He is a true teacher and I recommend him without reservation.
