I hold a PhD in Anthropology from Columbia University. I have a lot of teaching experience, from lecturing in 300 student classes to one-on-one tutoring. I've taught children with reading problems in Holt Michigan, and taught English as a second language to children in Hong Kong, where I also worked as a private tutor. I have taught archaeology and anthropology classes at Columbia University in New York City and at Community College in Baltimore. In sum, I have taught a variety of subjects...

Super Knowledgeable, Organized
My son has a packed schedule, with a full load during the day and an extra class online--history. We used him after the first month of school when it was clear he was falling behind and that the material was very challenging. John answered our request for help with prompt understanding of what was needed to catch up, all the while making it meaningful and relative to today's current events. John has gone beyond our expectations by bringing books of his own as resources if the curriculum is lacking adequate explanation. He packs a lot into a lesson, still keeping the content manageable. He is such a wealth of knowledge that as a parent, I'm drawn to his lessons and explanations and finding myself saying, "I never knew that." Organized and punctual are easy descriptors for him. We couldn't have asked for a better history tutor.

SAT Prep
John has done an amazing job with our son as he starts prep for the upcoming SAT season. John not only teaches curriculum, but the strategy that is involved in taking these tests such as timing, interpretation and deduction.

Very capable!
He provides changes, comments and notes that are extremely helpful. I feel I have learned a lot by going through his notes. And of course, my writings become so much better with his help.

Extremely productive session
My lesson with John was fantastic. He very clearly presented and explained concepts I was struggling with in philosophy and he helped me significantly strengthen the work in my assignment. We finished everything I wanted to go over and were even able to do a more in-depth analysis of it because we had time left over, which I did not expect since I did not think I would be able to understand the concept that quickly and easily, but John made it happen!

Amazing Writing Coach
John is the epitome of effective feedback and coaching. I was insecure about my writing techniques and John was able to teach an easy formula to apply to my writing and think outside of the box. There is no fluff when it comes to his coaching he gives you the feedback you need to succeed.

Great insight and help! Highly Recommend
John has done a wonderful job helping with my grad school statement of purpose essay. He's helpful, insightful, and full of comments which honed my essay into a work of art. His gentle approach but direct feedback ensured I kept moving forward and didn't get bogged down too much. Thank you, John!
