Approved Subjects

Accuplacer

Accuplacer

I have taught both Accuplacer math and language prep classes at a community college in Boston. The skills covered on the Accuplacer are similar , if not identical, to those cover on tests such as the TEAS, GED, and HISET. I have had great success helping students prepare for the Accuplacer so that they begin their college career at a level that is on par with their skill level.
Anthropology

Anthropology

I have passed a number of your tests in related areas and I have a degree in History from Boston College. I also have passed the history teacher license exam for Massachusetts. I have also tutored students in the subject in the past.
CBEST

CBEST

The CBEST test covers the same material that is covered on test such as the MCAS, GED, and TEAS. I have successfully prepared students who have passed the GED, MCAS and TEAS exams. I am also certified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to teach all of the subjects covered on the CBEST. I feel that these facts qualify me to tutor students for the CBEST exam.
GED

GED

I have great admiration for individuals who are focused on earning their GED. It show a tremendous amount of courage to face this type of challenge. I find that the most difficult aspect of the process for students is getting past the fear of facing material that is unfamiliar to them. I believe that working together we can build both skills and confidence and that students will find that they have abilities that they never realized they possessed.
Religion

Religion

I have passed a number of your tests in related areas and I have a degree in History from Boston College, which required a number of religious studies credits. I also have passed the history teacher license exam for Massachusetts. I have also tutored students in this area in the past.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I know that preparing for the SAT can be a stressful task.    I specialize in helping students who have convinced themselves that " I don't know how to answer these questions" I have been able to help students at many levels increase their understanding and confidence in dealing with the type of questions presented on standardized tests such as the SAT.  If your goal is to raise your score for each section to the 500-750 range , I can help.
Social Studies

Social Studies

I have passed a number of your tests in related areas and I have a degree in History from Boston College. I also have passed the history teacher license exam for Massachusetts.
Study Skills

Study Skills

One component that I emphasize with students with whom I work is the necessity of proper study skills. Organization and productive practice habits play a large role in academic success. I believe that I am qualified for this certification.
TEAS

TEAS

The TEAS (Test of Essential Skills) is an examination that is comprised of tests in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and English and language Usage. I have helped prepare students in the past in their preparation for the TEAS exam. I have increased their skills and confidence in dealing with the basic number sense as well as the algebra and geometry that make up the math section of the TEAS. My experience also as an English and science tutor has been invaluable in helping prepare students for this exam. I have prepared students for the reading, vocabulary, and grammar sections of the TEAS, as well as in the areas of life science, biology genetics, and chemistry. Besides my experience in preparing students for this test, I also am certified by WyzAnt in all of the individual subject areas that the TEAS exam covers. I am also licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to teach the subjects that this exam covers

Excellent tutor, we’re grateful to work with John!

John helped my son with Hiset preparation over the summer and that truly made the whole difference! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide my son and help him pass all the tests in a short time that we had. John is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter (for the first time my son understood some of the math concepts and actually started enjoying studying them!) and also knows the test and how to approach it. John has been very responsive, provided lots of additional materials between the sessions and always took care to quickly respond to any questions whenever my son needed. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend John!

Patient

John is a great tutor. He is very helpful and makes sure I understand the material. He is patient and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help. I have only met with him a few times but I feel more confident with my Accuplacer test.

Darius, 28 lessons with John

INCREDIBLY knowledgeable

I have had great lessons and learned so much. I feel a lot better about taking the Teas exam next week. I increased my practice exam scores as well! Highly recommend!

Courtney, 3 lessons with John

Great experience

I had the pleasure of working with John for the last few weeks, he helped me pass the HESI A2 exam after failing my first try . We mainly focused on the math section and my score increased 40points. John’s teaching style is engaging, clear, and he tailored each lesson to my needs. I would recommend John to anyone looking for extra help.

Taylor, 16 lessons with John

Very helpful and knowledgeable.

He knows the test I’m preparing for inside and out. He knows what they’ll ask and what they won’t ask. If he doesn’t know something about the test, he will 100% of the time find out. 10 stars out of 5 stars! John rules!
