John
Business, standardized testing (SAT, GMAT) & statistics tutor
I have always succeeded by relying on a highly analytic mindset combined with a deep love and firm grasp of the English language. These traits have served me well in my career and in standardized testing. I have repeatedly scored in the 99th percentile on SATs, GREs and GMATs. I excel in both the mathematics and verbal sides of these exams, as well as the logical thinking necessary to perform well.

John is very good at helping students grasp the math concepts that are covered on the SAT test. My son is gaining confidence in how to approach the SAT math problems. We are very happy to have John tutoring our son to help him improve his SAT math score.

John was fantastic! He answered my email quickly, was at our house right on time, was professional and knew his stuff! My daughter had a great session with John and he was able to walk her through studying for her test in a way that has left her confident going into it. I would definitely recommend John to anyone looking for a tutor and will definitely use him again should the need present itself. Thank you John!

John is one of the calming forces in my life since he has taken me under his wing. I look up to John as a father figure and a mentor. Without John I don't feel like I would truly be understanding the important parts of life. John is beyond helpful, and his lessons in life go far beyond a simple set of academic tasks, John has changed my life for the better. He is a great man.

Jennifer C. from Media, PA
We contacted John for some last minute SAT prep just 2 weeks before our son was scheduled for the test. He spent three or four 90 minute sessions with John and it really helped him to navigate and understand the test and question structure. Before each session, our son would do one math section and one reading section of an SAT practice test from the official SAT prep book. John would then help our son with the areas where he was weakest, spending time going over the problems he got wrong and the parts he didn't understand. For the last session, our son also did a practice essay for John to critique. Overall, he showed our son how to focus on what was important in the reading sections, how to approach the unfamiliar math problems, and how to structure the essay portion of the test. Result was our son scored a 2110 up from 1860 last Spring. Thanks, John, for all your great guidance!
