Bio

Hi! I am a certified biology teacher and have taught all levels of high school biology and have done SAT and GRE test prep for Kaplan. I have done graduate-level research in Boston and in Auckland, New Zealand, and am always trying to improve my own content knowledge. I can personalize your education plan to make sure it is effective for you and help you reach your academic goals.

Hi! I am a certified biology teacher and have taught all levels of high school biology and have done SAT and GRE test prep for Kaplan. I have done graduate-level research in Boston and in Auckland, New Zealand, and am always trying to improve my own content knowledge. I can personalize your education plan to make sure it is effective for you and help you reach your academic goals.

Subject or test prep shouldn't be about memorizing terms without context or finding shortcuts, but about real improvement and a passion for the subject. I will challenge you and do everything I can to make tutoring an experience that is both enjoyable and rewarding.

I will help you improve your SAT score, no matter where you start out. Using some of the techniques that helped me score highly on the SAT and receive a perfect 800 score on the math section of the GRE, students will learn to improve their number skills and spatial reasoning. I previously tutored students in preparation for the SAT and GRE for Kaplan, and am familiar with the layout and question types found on both tests. I can help you master the abilities and techniques needed to succeed.

I have taught twelve years at the high school level and in that time, I have taught a variety of science courses. Additionally, I have done graduate-level cognitive research on pigeons and New Caledonian crows, giving me a solid background in research techniques and the abilities required to succeed in high level science. If you are looking to score well on the AP biology test, I have experience teaching the course itself (most tutors do not) and had many students score a 4 or higher on the test.

Please feel free to get in touch with me. I generally meet students at libraries or other public places, but if you have specific location requests, I can often accommodate them. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your academic goals!

I have coached youth basketball (boys: ages 9-12) and been an assistant coach for older girls' teams. I can develop your player's skills and confidence, and make basketball a fun endeavor for them. I use a variety of drills to develop the fundamentals and can teach your child the proper form for shooting, playing defense, etc. I have seen players vastly improve by following these methods.

Enthusiastic and clearly experienced tutor

Mr. John has met with my daughter twice. Both times he was able to provide her with clear explanations which enabled her to better understand the SAT math material. He draws upon his vast knowledge and expertise in math along with his professional and personal experience in understanding the complicated SAT wording and makes the information accessible to her. She is quickly building confidence as a result of his teaching capability and his assurance that he can help her improve her understanding and ultimately, her score. is patient and relates well to teens.

Knowledgeable and engaging tutor

John was very easy to follow as he explained concepts clearly. He was patient and engaged which made it easier to focus and enjoy learning. He also gave me some test taking tips to help me succeed beyond the math concepts. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to a tutor. His response time and availability was very helpful because I needed tutoring on such a short notice

Great GRE Tutor!!

John was the best GRE tutor I could have been paired with! He helped me prepare for every category of the exam while emphasizing the areas I needed extra help in. John maintained a professional and personalized tutoring style that proved to be very motivating and effective. John was flexible about scheduling, went above average to bring me plenty of study materials, and gave me weekly guidance to keep me on track! My scores reflect measurable improvement from tutoring with John and I highly recommend using him as a GRE tutor!

Elli, 13 lessons with John

A wealth of knowledge.

Working with John helped me increase my GRE score 11 points. He truly is a master of GRE prep, and his tips and techniques allowed me to approach problems more effectively than I could have without his guidance. His ability to work through complicated math problems in such short time is quite astonishing. He is always prepared, organized, and ready for each session. John is a great guy and a true professional.

Fantastic Tutor in multiple subjects

Four words... John is the best!!! I hired John to help increase my daughter's SAT scores in both math and English in a very short time. He did just that and my daughter got in to her dream school!! John is patient, knowledgeable, and great with tips and tricks for the SAT. I would recommend him highly.

John is a go-to guy

John is a fantastic resource and educator. Highly recommended. Very flexible, accommodating, patient, and not judgmental whatsoever, i.e. A wonderful combination of characteristics needed in an effective tutor.

Matches your speed

John is tack sharp. He moves quick but is capable of teaching at any speed. Ask him to slow down and he will. Has great insight into how the GRE works and how to practically approach it based on the score you are shooting for. John even catches mistakes in the GRE study books!

Bryan , 6 lessons with John

Knowledgeable and excellent Tutor

John is a very professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiast tutor. My daughter who just took her first AP Biology class with John had only good things to say about him after their session! Just a perfect fit, as I believe John would very well and patiently adapt to the unique needs of any students. He definitely loves teaching!
