Bio

Hello! My name is John Nguyen and I'm an award-winning test prep tutor specializing in online 1-on-1 instruction.

I genuinely care about each and every one of my students: I know how overwhelming it can be to change studying habits and mindset, and I strive to be not only a tutor but a mentor.

My Background: I graduated with my bachelor's in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Dallas, where I studied on a full-tuition merit-based scholarship. My SAT was a 1510/1600 and a...

Hello! My name is John Nguyen and I'm an award-winning test prep tutor specializing in online 1-on-1 instruction.

I genuinely care about each and every one of my students: I know how overwhelming it can be to change studying habits and mindset, and I strive to be not only a tutor but a mentor.

My Background: I graduated with my bachelor's in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Dallas, where I studied on a full-tuition merit-based scholarship. My SAT was a 1510/1600 and a 23/24 on my essay. I received the AP Scholar with Distinction award and over $150,000 in scholarships for my academic merit and community impact.

With over 500 hours of of teaching experience, I have helped dozens of students nationwide attain their dream score. I have coached students from all backgrounds and abilities, helping improve their score by up to 410 points. After earning a consistent 5 star rating on Varsity Tutors, Wyzant, Tutors.com, and 35 Academy, I was awarded the Top 10 Award for ranking among the top six percent of all professional tutors. I decided to leave the big test prep industry when I realized that the methods that the companies use are not at all effective.

My SAT students learn proven concepts like:

• Effective tips for better time management and test pacing
• Trusted SAT math strategies from world-class test prep books
• Question teardowns to understand what’s said, how it’s said, and why it’s said
• Methods specific to prepping for the SAT’s optional essay section
• Techniques to identify common grammar mistakes
• Strategies to analyze and solve reading comprehension challenges

There's more to it, but if you've read this far just shoot me a message and we'll set up a free consultation!

Looking forward to meeting you,
John

Knowledgeable Tutor

John filled in the gaps of what I didn't understand; he covered Python concepts such as regex, methods, and class instances. We also debugged the code together to make sure the code worked.
