USC Pure Math Grad | Math and Test Prep Tutoring

John S.

I tutor high school and college students in math and standardized test prep.

On the math side, I cover everything from prealgebra through calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. I also tutor the AP Calculus and AP Statistics exams, helping students build both the subject knowledge and problem-solving skills they need for the test.

On the test-prep side, I coach the full SSAT / PSAT / SAT / ACT lineup, including both math and reading/writing. I focus not only on content, but also on strategy, timing, and learning how to approach the different types of questions these exams ask.

I'm a USC graduate in pure mathematics, and I've taught in a variety of settings, including as an instructor for an education company, as a classroom math and CS teacher, and as a volunteer teacher. Working with students ranging from young kids to adult professionals has made me adaptable; I meet each student where they are and adjust the pace and approach to fit.

I also hold a TESOL certificate and have taught English to non-native speakers. I speak French (DALF C1), Spanish (DELE C1), and Greek (B2).

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
