"A Juggernaut of Education"
- Jax, College Station, TX on 9/10/16This guy is the best. I've been tutoring with him for about 4 months now, and we have plans to continue through the next year and a half or so. He's patient, professional, and makes the content unbelievably accessible and has multiple ways of explaining everything so if it doesn't "click" one way, he'll try another until it does. He has a clear and deep understanding of the material at hand, and relishes the opportunity to share that knowledge with everyone. Since we began, I not only gained a tutor, and a much more intrinsic knowledge of calculus, but also a friend. I literally can't recommend this guy enough. A TRUE 10/10
"PATIENT. KNOWLEDGEABLE. EXPERIENCED."
- Dorian, Las Vegas, NV on 7/16/17We have touched upon and executed anything from fractions, graphs, word problems, functions, absolute value and on… John is a wonderful listener. Yet, he excels at being a problem solver and sees where the student is at in their learning, while calibrating to the needs of the student quickly. Efficient, on time, and his explanations are worth their weight in gold. He creates a system that allows the student to not only learn but to understand what is being solved. He will take you to where you need to go. Thank you so very much John!!!!
"Very good with kids"
- YOLANDA, Montgomery, AL on 7/6/17John realize a child weakness and focus on that area until that child is comfortable and understand how to work each problem they are given. He recommend if that child need to do extra work on the side so the student will be well prepared when need be.
"Very flexible and knowledgeable."
- Saud, Middletown, PA on 6/21/17Great fluid flow tutor has experience and is very easy going. Great session, and very affordable. Recommended for college students that need help with dense mechanical engineering courses.
"He is such an excellent teacher!"
- Conan, Bothell, WA on 6/12/17He is very professional, and has a lot of knowledge, and he is great at teaching.
I wish I could have found him earlier for my son. I definitely recommend him.
"Rebuilds confidence"
- Vishnu Priya, San Jose, CA on 6/9/17John helped my son. My son was loosing confidence when I hired John. He taught him Precalc. John really cares about his students. He spoke to me over the phone to figure out the exact issue. He explained to me how I should look at the issue. Then he did the lessons. During the lessons he spoke to my son and slowly built his confidence. I think he does look at the student as a whole not just grades or problems but overall student.
"Great tutor for my teenager"
- Megan, Ashburn, VA on 5/4/17John had a good rapport with my teenage son and was very helpful in their first Precalculus tutoring session. I definitely plan to use John again for future tutoring sessions.
"Helpful"
- Angela, Palmetto, GA on 5/4/17He helps me through all the work that I have and helps me fully understand it when I am confused. Whenever my teacher is unable to teach me the material, John is able to help me understand and be prepared for the test and feel confident about it.
"Helpful Physics and Math Tutor"
- Jimy, Mesa, AZ on 4/30/17John is tutoring my son as he approaches finals for his senior year in high school. With a tight window of 5 weeks to assist, John has been helpful and accommodating. I have noticed more confidence in my son and less nervousness towards finals.
I highly recommend John

"Tutor with a customized approach"
- Steve, Hastings On Hudson, NY on 4/3/17John is an amazing tutor. As an example, my daughter is a visual learner and was struggling to understand a complex pre-calculus topic: graphing imaginary numbers and polar coordinates. John set up a 3-D graph on the online system and "showed" her how it worked. She was able to pick it up very quickly after seeing the graph in 3-D. I highly recommend John as a math tutor.
"John connected well with my son"
- Karen, Alexandria, VA on 3/29/17John is adept at recognizing a client's struggle with a concept and his explanations are understandable and to-the-point. He connected well with my son, and they will continue to work together for the remainder of the school year.
"Very smart and excellent tutor."
- Remington, College Station, TX on 3/5/17John is an excellent tutor and guy. He is very knowledgeable in a wide range of math and physics classes. He is very patient and is able to explain the material in a way that you can understand and relate to. He is well worth the 50$ an hour and I highly recommend him if you are in need of help.
"5 Star Calculus Tutor"
- David, Auburn, WA on 2/16/17My grades have improved greatly because of John! Patient and very helpful. I almost gave up on working with a tutor until I met John. He is very personable and I would recommend anyone who is struggling with calculus to give John a try!

John has helped my child be comfortable with having a tutor. Thank you!
"Star tutor"
- Joe, Glenside, PA on 1/20/17We have used John a few times to help my son with high school Chemistry and Physics. My son enjoyed his style and were able to cover a lot of material in his sessions. The resulting A test results were the proof of his effectiveness. He also followed up with my son to see how did. Can't say enough positive things about him as a tutor/coach.
"Super helpful tutor"
- Jennifer, Salt Lake City, UT on 1/8/17John was great to work with. Both with his scheduling and then with his knowledge and tutoring. My son had a great experience with him and it really helped him to understand and get his calculus work done. We are very appreciative of Johns skilled help
"Literally the best tutor I've ever had"
- Johnny, College Station, TX on 12/22/16John is funny, amicable, and incredibly knowledgeable. I look forward to every lesson with him because I know that he cares about me as a person in addition to caring about my grades from a tutoring perspective. I can not recommend John more highly.
"Excellent Physics Tutor"

- Eunkyung, College Station, TX on 11/24/16John helped me understand physics better. He told me that physics is basically common sense so I should not be intimidated by it. He gave me confidence in physics and taught me the correct way to approach physics questions. I am looking forward for more of his tutoring!
"great!"
- Wendy, Bellaire, TX on 11/13/16John is so helpful! He is my son's Algebra 2 tutor but when he needs help with physics he can help him with that as well. It is so nice to have someone who can do more than one subject!!
"Helpful and full of knowledge!"
- Sarah, College Station, TX on 10/30/16Was very helpful in helping me with concepts on my chemistry test! He knew exactly what I needed for the level of chemistry too. Would highly recommend.
"Amazing"
- Sara, Richardson, TX on 10/11/16I've never been one to succeed with a tutor, but so far my experiences with John have been absolutely amazing! He is so patient & thorough. He knows how to figure out which learning technique works best for the individual and truly cares about you. I highly recommend John!!!
"knowledgeable and patient"
- Keary, Jackson, CA on 10/3/16This was the first time with online tutoring. He was very patient and took the time to understand the level of knowledge and then built upon it at an appropriate pace.
"Very responsive and helpful."
- Judy, Sierra Madre, CA on 9/23/16John was great. I needed him in a bind to help me with some homework problems in a comp sci class and he helped me to understand how to approach them. I'd highly recommend him!
"Caters to your needs"
- Matt, Sarasota, FL on 8/8/16I had about half a dozen tutoring sessions with John for calculus based physics, preparing for a placement exam for college. John was not only very knowledgeable in the area, but he was ready and more than willing to do whatever would be best for my own learning. He did not force any personal teaching habits or unnecessary methods. Rather, he made he tutoring method around what I specifically needed. He is encouraging and helps you learn for yourself, rather than just telling you something and hoping you memorize it. I highly recommend John for anyone who needs any assistance, small or large, in learning/mastering a certain subject
"Really helped me"
- Victor, College Station, TX on 8/3/16John really helped me figure out the problems I was having studying. As long as you put in the work before hand in the class, John can figure out what points you're missing. I had small conceptual misunderstandings here and there. He helped clear those up quick. A lot of the issues I was having with putting the material down on the test were mentally related. Toss John some clues and he can figure out why you're missing the stuff.
"The Absolute Best"
- K, New Orleans, LA on 7/28/16He, was the absolute best. So patient and understanding to my situation. Very knowledgeable about the course. Just a out joy to work with.... I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND....
"Knowledgable & Thorough"
- Amalia, New York, NY on 5/31/16John A. is a very knowledgeable math tutor. He is very clear and upfront about his teaching philosophy: understanding and application. I appreciate this method as it helps me to grasp material without worrying about the answer. Since the correct answer will reveal itself.
"Amazing"
- Karna, College Station, TX on 5/22/16John is a really awesome tutor. His step by step process thinking has helped me a lot in Calculus, but also in other classes. Highly recommend!
"Great tutor!"
- Kaylee, Cypress, TX on 5/17/16Awesome tutor. I definitely would not have gotten an A in the class without him! I would highly recommend him.
"Great tutor. Really cares."
- Melissa, College Station, TX on 5/16/16I reached out to John at a very busy time. He was very flexible and went out of his way to make time for tutoring sessions. John is an exceptional tutor and has a great understanding of Thermodynamics and Principles of Electrical Engineering. He took the time to learn about my learning style and knowledge of the material and customized his teaching to benefit me the most. Every time we had a tutoring session he had a plan of attack. He is very patient, thorough and explains things in way that makes sense. John truly cares about my progress.
"Helped a lot"
- Sharon, Spring, TX on 5/14/16Simplified a topic that I really had no idea where to go, and started off with the basics so by the end we were able to do a AP problem with relative ease. Made me feel a lot better about the upcoming test (same as last time).
"Very thorough"
- Melinda, College Station, TX on 5/10/16John tutored my high school senior son in AP Physics. Prior to the first session, John set up an informal phone session to ask both my son and myself some pertinent information. During the first tutorial, John assessed my son's knowledge and then dove right in with very thorough explanations, using my son's Physics school book. After each session, John sent me a summary of the session (using WYzant's app). My son gained a deeper understanding and improved his grades. I highly recommend John.
"Awesome Tutor! Flexible, patient, easy to reach. Would recommend to anyone!"
- Robert, College Station, TX on 5/8/16This past semester I have had to take Physics 208 at Texas A&M, an infamous course that the majority of students have to retake or Q-drop. Thanks to John's guidance and support I have achieved an A in the class for the semester. He does a terrific job of slowing you down, and taking everything in a step-by-step manner in order to find the answer. He is also great at teaching the concepts and helping you visualize what is actually happening. After going through one problem with him at a tutoring session, I have been able to then reason through all of the others for that chapter in the homework and on previous tests. However after reading this review, don't just think that if you take John you'll automatically get a good grade from just the tutoring. Like any other course or learning program, you need to practice on your own and come prepared to the tutoring sessions with what you want to cover. John is extremely easy to contact, professional, flexible, and just an all around respectable guy. He talks to you like a normal human being and establishes a culture of mutual respect. He will work on whatever you want to not only in Physics, but in any other subject that he is qualified to tutor. This review isn't just me meeting with him once, getting a good grade, and praising him for it. This review is from an entire semester of experience, meeting with him weekly, and ultimately having a good experience in a class that is predetermined to be horrible for almost everyone. I highly recommend him.
"great guy"
- John, College Station, TX on 4/21/16He's an awesome Tudor that really connects with me unlike other Tudors. He explains very well and can sometimes go fast, but then shows you how to do it correctly.
"Awesome!!!"
- Katie, College Station, TX on 3/26/16He's so great! Taught in a way I understood and even bought coffee! I know I will do great on the test now 10/10 would recommend
"Great at explaining WHY something is done rather than just how."
- Shelly, Magnolia, TX on 3/20/16John takes time to answer any questions that may arise, and explains why a certain method is used or not used rather than just giving a quick run down of the process.
"Great Tutor"
- Jesse, Bryan, TX on 3/6/16John is a great tutor and provides clear and concise instruction. He is very patient and will approach problems different ways to fit your learning style.
"Patient and attentive tutor!"
- Ashley, Warner Robins, GA on 2/29/16John was an amazing tutor! He broke everything down for me to understand! He messaged me quickly when I messaged him that I needed to get an assignment done asap! I highly recommend!
