I taught an SAT/ACT Verbal Reading/Writing class to 11th graders for over 7 years & private tutoring for the past 7 years. In this, I have developed a detailed understanding and specific lessons that assist students in preparing for the verbal and writing portions of both exams.

I taught a night school QuickBooks course for 10 years. Additionally, the last 9 years, I have been working 1-on-1 with tutoring accounting professionals & business owners in QB.

Absolutely amazing!

John came to our home to tutor our daughter for the AP World History exam. He came once a week for two hours over the course of a few weeks. Our daughter loved his easy going style, but also really appreciated his wealth of knowledge. He came prepared with tips on how to take the exam, what to focus on, and review sheets to study. My hope is that he also tutors AP US history because I would love for him to tutor my daughter again next year for this course. My daughter would have been lost trying to figure out what to focus on for this test. John made it clear and sent my daughter off to her test confident that she had covered all the necessary material.

Extremely Knowledgeable!

John was very patient with me and helped explain each and every area of the DBQ in AP World History that the graders are looking for. He thoroughly explained where I had gone wrong and told me step by step what to do to fix it. I definitely recommend him, and will be coming back to have another session with him!
