As a tutor I always hope to have a positive impact on the lives of the students with whom I work. Though no magic wand will put the power of learning solely in my hands, students that come to me prepared to work will find me a valuable resource and an enthusiastic ally. I have been working in the Austin area over 20 years, and with Wyzant since 2008. I have a BS in math from UT-Austin, which included 50+ combined credit hours in physics, chemistry, and statistics. I've worked in the UT math d...

John has been amazing with my child. He is patient and does a great job of explaining each concept. He is easy to reach and keeps me updated on progress. We couldn't be happier!
Robbin W. from Leander, TX
We have been very pleased with the results from John's geometry tutoring sessions with our grandson. John knows how to reach teenagers.
Vanessa J. from Cedar Park, TX
It's really great when your 11th grader jumps in the car and says, "ahhh, I understand pre-cal so much better" and she had a smile on her face after her session today!! John has helped our child and us feel so much better about pre-cal and we, and our daughter are breathing a sigh of relief that Monday, when she goes into her math class, she'll understand where she is in her course-work!! Such a gift! Thank you John! (again)!
Kathryn B. from Austin, TX
My courses are confusing at best! I go to a non-traditional college, and the courses and assignments are confusing. John goes the extra mile to try and understand what I need and explain it to me. He has a no nonsense way of explaining it as well.
Peter W. from Cedar Park, TX
My daughter has greatly benefited from John's solid understanding of the subject material he tutors her on. He is able to explain things that causes her to leave with greater confidence in the material each time.
Christine W. from Cedar Park, TX
John does a great job of clarifying math and science for my son. He is always on time and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor.
Yvonne S. from Round Rock, TX
After just a few sessions our daughter's physics grade has sky-rocketed! We had never needed or sought the help of a private tutor and could not be happier with the results. Our daughter is very comfortable and at ease asking questions and working with John due to his laid-back style and patience. We only wish we would have sought help earlier. After struggling she just achieved a 99% on her physics final!
Rona M. from Cedar Park, TX
John is always nice, and has a DENSE knowledge of Calculus I. He seems to know what I'm asking before I even finish explaining the question! He's been a great help to me whenever I need any extra instruction outside of school.
Simona L. from Austin, TX
John is priceless to any student interested in boosting his/her geometry skills. The methodology he employs yields surprisingly fast results, no matter the difficulty level of the problems discussed.
Beatriz C. from Pflugerville, TX
Great tutor to my son! Very nice and understanding tutor and so reliable. We are always able to reach by phone.
Dee Dee M. from Cedar Park, TX
John has the perfect set-up in his home to teach physics, complete with a desk for the student, and a dry erase board. I am extremely math challenged, and it was great to have John there to remind me of long forgotten math rules. With John's help I was able to navigate through the strange new world of physics without having a meltdown, or giving up. I would highly recommend John as a tutor. He is very patient, reliable, and kind.
Lisa B. from Round Rock, TX
John has done an outstanding job with our son and our son enjoys his sessions and always comes out understanding AP Calc so much clearer. With John's weekly sessions our son was able to make it through AP Calculus. As most teenagers he was not thrilled about starting tutoring but after his first session he felt John was perfect in helping him learn and stay on track with his calculus. We are forever grateful that we found John on Wyzant!!
Michelle W. from Leander, TX
John did a wonderful job helping my son who was struggling in Algebra II. His method, patience and onsite tutoring office helped to keep my son engaged. He was always available by phone or email if we needed to reach out to him.
Colin C. from Cedar Park, TX
Been working with John for the last couple months, and he is by far the best tutor I've had. Trust me when I say this, I've had a lot of them. His patience with going over the same material in different ways to apply my material has helped me tremendously. I give him a 5 star review. Thanks John.
Sandi H. from Leander, TX
Our son likes the way John was able to re-explain the geometry material. We look forward to continuing tutor sessions with John. With his help, I am sure my son's confidence level will increase dramatically.
Robert D. from Austin, TX
John is a fantastic tutor who really cares about helping people learn. He has sent me emails outside the tutoring session with help and hints. Without John's help, I don't know who I would have passed statistics. Thanks John!
Sandra D. from Leander, TX
Both of my kids have been tutored by John for Alg 2 and look forward to their sessions. He provides positive feedback and gentle reminders. They aren't afraid to ask questions or try to solve a problem even if they aren't sure of themselves. Great teacher!
MARLA S. from Leander, TX
My daughter enjoys her sessions and sees improvement in her understanding of the topics. The tutor feedback is helpful for me as a parent to mentor my student in study techniques and habits for these intensive subjects.
Michael D. from Cedar Park, TX
John has always done a great job!! I attribute my son getting the ACT scores he needed directly to John's assistance in math. Wish we had met John sooner.
Dave C. from Cedar Park, TX
John is very accommodating with his schedule. As my son has struggled with Statistics in school and needs extra preparation for a quiz or test, John has been very prompt in returning my request for a session with an open time or two within a day's notice. This is helpful to be able to get immediate tutoring and at the time of the quiz for the last bit of practice work.
Donna J. from Cedar Park, TX
John has been very helpful with both of my teens when they've needed to prepare and review for high school math and chemistry tests. He explains the concepts in a way that they understand, and offers suggestions to help in areas that they need more help with.
Tony B. from Pflugerville, TX
For the first lesson we reviewed statistics basics, normal distribution, central limit theorem and started to move into basic linear regression. John did a great job explaining in a way I could more easily understand the concepts.
Jennifer O. from Austin, TX
I was beyond confused on center of mass and centroids when I walked in and I left with more knowledge than I ever thought I could receive in such a short period of time. He cleared up everything that my university professors and TAs jumbled up in my mind. Great tutor!
Billy O. from Round Rock, TX
John is an excellent tutor, is really patient, knows what he is doing. He works out the problems in advance when I send them to him so the tutoring session goes on real smoothly.
Liza K. from Cedar Park, TX
John seemed to be both patient and knowledgeable. My daughter felt like she had a much better understanding of her AP Statistics material. Thank you!
Brandon G. from Austin, TX
I was immediately impressed when I arrived at John's house. He has a separate room that is set up for tutoring, including a whiteboard. He had already completed all of the problems that I sent him, and we were able to go immediately into the solutions. I will be continuing to use John as my tutor until I graduate from college.
Brooke T. from Austin, TX
John really helped me. I missed some college statistics classes and he helped me learn everything before my first exam. I felt really prepared for the exam. We went over each section of each chapter then did practice problems. He would write them on a white board which really helped. I highly recommend him for a tutor!
Ashley W. from Austin, TX
Helped with college level statistics and took time to teach me confidence intervals/hypotheses testing for my upcoming test. Each concept we went over he reviewed in detail the underlying concepts. It is worth the drive to get a one on one tutoring session!!
Brad P. from Round Rock, TX
John helped me with per-calculus. He was knowledgeable, patient, and explained things well. I will definitely setup another tutoring session with him.
