John M. is The MAN!!

John M. is a miracle worker. John is currently working with 3 of my kids and is doing an awesome job. He comes in to the tutoring sessions well prepared and is able to explain to each one of my kids exactly what it is that they are missing. Truth be told, I could rave about John all day. He is a fantastic tutor. He has a way of explaining things to my kids so that they are able to comprehend the concepts that the teachers are unable to get across during school. For the sake of time, I will simply say the following: If you have a child that is struggling, John will help them. He is patient. He is thorough. He always makes sure that each of my children fully understands the concepts before moving on. There is so much more that it is hard to put into words, The only thing I can say is to have John come in to help your kids and see for yourself. He is amazing! You have to perform 3 miracles to become a Saint. I think John has just qualified for Sainthood from my kitchen table... John, you are indeed THE MAN! #besttutorever

John has been helping our daughter with 8th Grade Integrated Math. This has been a tough semester for her, and John has thoroughly gone through her lessons and tests with her, step by step. He comes to sessions prepared and on time. He has a very gentle and calm way about him. Our daughter is responding positively to John and to the sessions.
