John was great! He took the time to get some information about what you were learning before the tutoring session. He arrived to the session on time and fully prepared with notes and graphs to help you learn. He typed up a notes page for helpful information and let you keep all notes and graphs. He took the time to explain things clearly and didn't move on until you were comfortable with the material. I definitely recommend him to anyone! He helped me with my Calculus problems and made the subject a lot clearer for me.

Ken, 6 lessons with John

John was very accommodating on short notice. My twins needed to prepare for EOY Finals. We made the decision late to engage a Tutor. John worked with their schedules and was very flexible in getting the kids the maximum number of sessions before their finals. We appreciate his breadth of knowledge in both Geometry and Trig. Thank you John.

The style of the sessions really suit my son's struggles... John lets him bring the topics/lessons he is struggling with and the work them until he 'gets it'! Thank you John!! Looking forward to many more lessons!

Tina, 3 lessons with John

John taught my son about equations. He was patient and did a very good job. What I liked about him what that he was upfront about what he can and cannot help with.

Pranav, 5 lessons with John

It was my daughter's first tutoring lesson from John. He taught her about transformations of functions: Algebra II. Before my daughter's first tutoring session John suggested that I send him an example of what she was studying at school as a way of getting a head start of what she would require knowledge-wise from him. After sending John some of my daughter's current Algebra II assignments, John followed up by sending us a study guide for her to review prior to her tutoring session. I thought that this was above and beyond what was required of a regular tutor. After my daughter's tutoring session she told me that John was nice and patient and that he explained things in an understandable and simple way. My daughter noted that John was on time and in fact early and waiting for her to arrive online. My daughter told me that John told her that if she had any questions to send him a message and he would answer them without charging extra. He told her that it is important to him that she understands and advances in her studies.

Tracey, 6 lessons with John

My son likes John's teaching method. He said the tutor helped him to understand more about geometry's subjects that he learned from school. The tutor asked for classwork/quizzes/tests so he can be prepared before the tutorial and he did follow up with good amount of information after the tutorial.

Vercia, 7 lessons with John

John is a fantastic tutor! My son has had trouble with higher level Math and is now preparing to take the SAT's. John has come consistently twice a week and on time. He's very patient and positive but also is honest about what needs to change to make progress (ie. he mentioned that my son needs to work harder in between sessions if he's to be ready for the SAT's in time. Since that honest discussion, my son has done more homework and is better prepared for each session. I highly recommend John!

Sharon, 16 lessons with John

Mr. John is the right teacher for my son. My son likes his style of teaching and he can process what he taught him. He comes right on time ready to teach. I will like to continue with him as long as he is willing to teach him twice a week so that he can master the concepts well.
