My degrees are in math and science, and I've been a writer for 40 years. I specialize in test prep, particularly for SAT and ACT. I cover all the bases: math, English, writing, reading, science, and strategy. My teaching style is to be patient and supportive but persistent, always keeping the goal in mind. I design a schedule for each student depending on his/her abilities. With thousands of hours of SAT and ACT tutoring behind me, I know all the tricks to getting to the answer faster ...

Easy to understand. He was very detailed but simple to follow. He is knowledgeable and with a great character. Thank you so much for all your help!


Alyssa K. from Boca Raton, FL

Jon was perceptive of my daughter's needs and explained the material well. Punctual, honest, and provided guidance towards getting my daughter on track, even though it meant going a different route then continuing with him as a tutor. He speaks in terms of the child's best interest.


Keiki S. from Lake Worth, FL

Thank you, Jon P. Our son would like to do a few more sessions with after these next final exams for the first semester. He'd like to set himself up so he is comfortable and confident in the 2nd semester. We're looking forward to seeing you again and he is excited about working with you again. Bottom line, when my kid says "Mom, I think something clicked, because I totally got what he was explaining to me and actually enjoyed learning how he was showing me to learn what I was getting stuck on!" I know we made the right choice! Again, THANK YOU!!!


Karen P. from Delray Beach, FL

Coach Jon has been tutoring my son for the past few months in preparation for the SAT. He has shown patience and understanding not only with teaching the material but with my son and his sometimes lack of enthusiasm as well. He provides excellent feedback with every lesson and I feel that Coach Jon has provided my son with the necessary tools to take the exam. We are so pleased with his tutoring that we will continue on with Coach for ACT tutoring. Thank you for all you've done Coach!

A patient and tenacious coach who encourages his students and boosts their confidence. My teenage daughter worked with him for a number of weeks on standardized test prep. He knows his subject areas and did a great job analyzing her strengths/weaknesses to come up with strategies. I asked my daughter if she would recommend him, and she said, "absolutely."


Joanne V. from Delray Beach, FL

I am highly satisfied with Jon P. and the services he provides in helping my son prepare for his SAT. I can't believe the ease in which your company operates through its website, it makes everything easy!


Ashley M. from Palm Beach, FL

Coach (Jon) was very patient while working with my twins on their SSAT prep. He was always very punctual and professional. I would highly recommend him.


Debbie W. from Boca Raton, FL

My son felt Jon was excellent. He came through for us on late notice. Very professional and excellent ways of explaining things.

So far so good. My teens like Mr. Jon. They state to remember lots of old work. Thank you Mr. Jon. Good job.


Romy N. from Boynton Beach, FL

Dear Coach Jon, We are glad to have you now. You are very patient and you communicate really well with our daughter. She actually was excited because she was able to do her times 9 rapidly after her first lesson. Thank you!! See you soon.


Andrey A. from Boynton Beach, FL

Very professional, experienced and friendly tutor with great communication and teachers skills. Motivational and productive sessions. Convenient and flexible schedule. Very happy with results! Thank you!


Diane S. from Delray Beach, FL

As soon as Jon said, "Call me coach" he had my son's attention. His next words were, "I know you have had those". Jon was right...he has had those, and by the end of his first session he had earned my son's respect as a good coach! Thanks again for a great session and first impression! We feel confident we picked the right SAT coach. Look forward to seeing you next week Jon.


Carl C. from Pompano Beach, FL

Jon was prompt and prepared. My daughter felt comfortable with him and he worked with her on conceptual ideas, as well as on current assignments. I believe this process should continue. Great job. Thanks!


Krysten B. from Boynton Beach, FL

After my daughter warmed up to him they had a great session. He assessed her abilities and where she was falling behind and got straight to work. Looking forward to the next lessons.


Tonja O. from Boynton Beach, FL

My son has a substantial learning disability in Math - which is very challenging. He sees numbers, and they just make no sense; he learns something one day, understands it, then has forgotten it the next. He has very high anxiety levels when dealing with math. Jon has been very patient, supportive, but challenging in his work with T. I do see improvement and we will continue to work with Jon.


Camille B. from Fort Lauderdale, FL

Jon - after one session with you, my son has a bit more confidence in himself. I thank you so much for your patience and understanding. I hope to one day soon send you a photo from his graduation from Boot Camp! We've got a lot to cover, but I'm sure he'll pass the ASVAB with lessons from your training. Again, thank you.


Charlene Y. from Lake Worth, FL

Jon was able to accurately access the situation with my son's lack of motivation versus lack of learning ability. Unfortunately, he is unable to help us address our specific situation at this time; but not for lack of trying!


Julie L. from Pompano Beach, FL

Coach, as he introduced himself, was calm, easy to talk to, and very helpful with direction. I would highly recommend him.


Stephanie C. from West Palm Beach, FL

Went over some more GRE math problems. He helped my work through them and figure how to do them on my own.


Maddie H. from Delray Beach, FL

Coach Jon was very patient, understood what my weaknesses were, came prepared with books in hand; and told me what I needed to work on. His calm manner is helpful and allows me to focus on what needs to be done.


Zachary D. from Pompano Beach, FL

Jon displayed a thorough knowledge of the SAT and gave me immediate guidance in what to look for on the test. My immediate need is in the writing portion which he is gearing my studies toward but is also giving me much needed guidance in other portions of the test. I am looking forward to my next lesson.
