Goal oriented, experienced test prep tutor specializing in SAT, ACT
My degrees are in math and science, and I've been a writer for 40 years. I specialize in test prep, particularly for SAT and ACT. I cover all the bases: math, English, writing, reading, science, and strategy.
My teaching style is to be patient and supportive but persistent, always keeping the goal in mind. I design a schedule for each student depending on his/her abilities. With thousands of hours of SAT and ACT tutoring behind me, I know all the tricks to getting to the answer faster...

"Call me coach"
As soon as Jon said, "Call me coach" he had my son's attention. His next words were, "I know you have had those". Jon was right...he has had those, and by the end of his first session he had earned my son's respect as a good coach! Thanks again for a great session and first impression! We feel confident we picked the right SAT coach. Look forward to seeing you next week Jon.

Fantastic SAT Tutor!
My sons SAT score went up 180 points after just 5 lessons with Jon! Amazing! He has been working regularly with John and plans to take the SAT again in March. My son really likes his teaching style and said he explains things very well. We’ve had some tutors that haven’t measured up to expectations. Jon however far exceeds our expectations- He’s the best!

outstanding tutor
Jon P was awesome for my girls !! He was patient and kind and started with the basic questions to ensure a perfect starting point ! I was worried about online tutoring but those worries left the minute he started with my girls . I can’t say how thankful I am that we found Jon P , you are a God send . We will be using him all the way up to the SAT to ensure great scores for our daughters

Test prep master!
Math nuts and bolts for the SAT - feeling like my kid is getting great prep!!! She likes the breaking down of all aspects of a question or section. She is getting so much out of these sessions that she doesn’t even complain about doing them!

Great first lesson
My son was able to identify some fundamental math knowledge gaps that needed to be addressed. I am pleased. Jon was very accommodating of our schedule as well. We plan to schedule more sessions.

Extremely thorough and very helpful
Hi, Both my kids were very impressed with Jon's test prep techniques. He was patient, knowledgeable, through and made sure to assess each kid individually for strengths and weaknesses even though he was working with both them in the same sessions. His questions helped them understand their weaknesses which is great because now they can work on it well in advance of taking the exam. Thank you Jon!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
My daughter has been meeting with Jon twice a week for the last 6-7 weeks and felt very confident going into the test. I highly recommend Jon if you are looking for a tutor to help with the SAT. Thank you Jon for all your patience, compassion and hard work. It definitely helped gain confidence in our daughter.

He really helped me prepare for the SAT. He was patient and explained things well. I took the SAT last Saturday. I don’t have my score yet, but I think I did well.

Fantastic Tutor
My son has gotten a great deal out of his SAT tutoring lessons with Jon..aka Coach. He’s a very patient tutor and explains things very well. My son previously finished a well known SAT course that he did not find helpful. His lessons with Jon however focus on content and strategy which has been fantastic. He just took the SAT yesterday for the second time and he said he felt much better about it this time thanks to his lessons with Jon. We will definitely continue working with Jon- he’s a gem!
