A+ head and shoulders above other CS tutors
Ethan, 10 lessons with JohnAlthough I came to John seeking help for a specific project, he patiently explained the concepts which my online course had not covered adequately.

Update, November 15, 2025: I am available for the first time in years! I am looking forward to meeting new students.
I'm a graduate of UC Berkeley (B.A., Biochemistry) and Stanford (Ph.D., immunology). So, which side should I sit on at the Big Game?
I currently work as a biotech scientist and engineer. Before that, I held a position as a research scientist and faculty member at a local university.
I can offer tutoring in many subjects. My specialties are science, math, SAT...

Excellent Tutor!
John tutors our child in Biology. John is very knowledgeable in Biology, Biotechnology and Programming. He identifies where the student needs help by asking probing questions, and then goes into necessary amount of depth to ensure the student understands the material. Also, John is prompt, patient and thorough. We are very happy to have found John.

Great Tutor and very patient
John is currently tutoring my son high school chemistry. My son is a junior in high school. John has been very patient and very knowledgeable. He helps students with their weak areas by analyzing the areas that they need help with. I would highly recommend John as a tutor!

Progress report
After our second session, you had a solid grasp in understanding the layout of my project. Drawing out the diagram structure even helped me recognize key areas that I need to improve on or wouldn't require. Writing out the data and each piece of data's type was a great suggestion for understanding how data moves in my program. I look forward to our next meeting and what you can continue to teach me. Thank you for walking me through everything even when I want to sprint.

John is an very knowledgeable and patient tutor
My 10th grader daughter needs help in Algebra 2 and we're very happy we've found John. In her first lesson, John helped my daughter to understand that writing out her steps in an organized fashion is always important. We're looking forward to more lessons from John. Thank you.
