About John


Bio

I’m a tutor specializing in test preparation (both reading/writing and math) and math/computer science coursework. I can help with high school and college-level courses such as calculus, statistics, linear algebra, algorithms and design, and web development, as well as standardized tests including the SSAT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT.

I’m a tutor specializing in test preparation (both reading/writing and math) and math/computer science coursework. I can help with high school and college-level courses such as calculus, statistics, linear algebra, algorithms and design, and web development, as well as standardized tests including the SSAT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT.

A bit about my background:
I attended a prep school in New England, where I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT (when I take the exam now I can get every or nearly every questions correct!). I later graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Pure Mathematics.

My teaching experience began during college, when I worked as both a professional instructor for a computer science education company and an English teacher for non-native speakers. I also volunteered to teach computer programming at an elementary school in the Los Angeles Unified School District. I currently work as a math and computer science teacher.

Having taught across disciplines—from the sciences to the humanities—and with students ranging from young children to adults, I’ve developed a well-rounded teaching approach and the ability to adapt to each student’s unique needs.

I am a native English speaker proficient in French (DALF C1), Spanish (B2), and Greek (B2).

Wonderful tutor!

John was the tutor my son needed for the PSAT 8/9 prep. He was able to engage a kid with zero interest in spending his summer preparing for the PSAT exam. John is incredibly patient, encouraging, and dedicated. After a few weeks of lessons, our son started to enjoy his classes and feel encouraged with his steady improvement. Because of John, our son had such confidence heading into the exam. I cannot recommend John highly enough!!
