Charles C. from Huntington Beach, CA He makes sure you understand the concepts to the fullest extent. Works the problems methodically, step by step. Although this was my first lesson, I feel as if I am going on the right track in my decision to hire John.

Valentin A. from Long Beach, CA He will reach out and research the topics before you met him during a session. He goes the material in depth and checks to make sure you understand. He is friendly, on-time, and is happy to go over the material with you. He is willing to drive far to meet your needs and will try his best to accommodate you in his schedule. I would recommend him as a tutor.

Ronda E. from Tustin, CA John was very patient with my son and gave him the attention needed. My son's first Algebra II test was today, since seeing John, and his comment was, "that was easier than I thought it would be and I had 20 minutes left." He usually runs out of time during his exams!

Barbara H. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA John is a very patient and thorough tutor. He understands the problem areas and where the stumbling blocks are for different concepts. My daughter is in Algebra !! and many problems are multi-step. John provides problems that allow for my daughter to walk herself through the process of problem solving so that her confidence, skill level and pace all increase.

Juan S. from Foothill Ranch, CA John has provided my son with a full of tips list which has helped him to find a methodology to approach each problem and get a neat, clear and positive solution to each problem, besides my son is more confident on understanding the Algebra 2 concepts. After the first two hours tutoring session with John, my son got a higher grade in his next test. Thanks John, see you soon again.

Antonino C. from Cerritos, CA My daughter only started with John for a week and we already saw an improvement in her understanding of concepts in both Precalculus and Chemistry which John helps her with. There was a great improvement in her test scores after only a week with John. We hope this keeps up! John shows mastery of these subjects, comes prepared and explains the concepts in the simplest way possible. He is also pretty flexible with the schedule.

Dennis K. from Chesterfield, MO My child's Alg2/Trig AP grade needed to be raised to the next grade level (something like 6-10%...hard to say precisely as there were always ungraded/unrecorded items outstanding) with only 6 weeks remaining in school year. Thanks to John, we achieved that goal with room to spare. John's approach is methodical -- he pinpoints the specific areas where your child needs help, and provides that. Sometimes teachers/textbooks focus more on the mechanics of problem solving without enough time/attention given to the underlying concepts (especially in fast-moving advanced/AP/HP classes). My child generally understood how to solve problems mechanically (and could often do so); however, without a firm foundational grasp, it was difficult to apply that knowledge to more complicated/abstract situations. This was especially true when translating word problems into soluble equations. John provided the missing foundational knowledge, which in turn allowed the mechanical problem-solving to be more successfully (and quickly) applied. John was also very flexible in meeting our scheduling needs. We only had a small number of test opportunities remaining in the year, so preferred to have sessions the night before to maximize "freshness"; unfortunately, tests were often announced only a day or two in advance. With short notice, John always did his best to find some amount of time meet our needs. I wasn't looking for some Dead Poets wannabe to put the Joy of Math into my child; I needed someone who could help bring my child's grade up significantly in a short time. John did just that.

Ivette C. from Santa Ana, CA Hi. My name is Ivette. I hired John to tutor my daughter for Algebra 1 and 2. John is very punctual and very nice. I asked my daughter what she thought about John's tutoring methods and she stated that he very good and is able to explain things in a way she understands. She stated that even though she's been working with John for only a few days, she feels confident she will be passing her upcoming exam.

Adina R. from Huntington Beach, CA John is enthusiastic about his work, and cares about his students. The breadth of the concepts that he covers is impressive, ranging from physics, chemistry, calculus - with a little economics thrown in for good measure. My son is working with him on Skype, and looks forward to the lessons. This is brilliant!
