Reviews

John helped review the grammar and content of my SOP for several East Asian studies master's programs. I got accepted into Stanford, Columbia, and UChicago. Highly recommend him if you need help with your admissions essays! He really helped polish my essay, which I think played a big role in my getting into these top schools.

John helped me develop the high-level writing and research skills necessary to finish my master?s thesis. I have adult ADHD, and writing has NEVER been easy for me. However, John helped me systematically break through a lot of the writing barriers faced by those with ADHD. Also, during our sessions, John taught me how to research and think at a much higher and more engaging level than I ever had before. Beyond all that, John is a brilliant teacher who is knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects, and a lot of fun to work with. I seriously wish I found him years ago.

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.

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.

Learned more in this one session than I learned from 2 months with a different online tutoring company. John is nice too.
- Jana A. from Denton, TX
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!

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.
- Morgan M. from Brooklyn, NY
John is amazing. Very gifted and reaches beyond to to teach the concepts that each student is struggling with. He has shown he knows how to teach students how to write papers; research and analyze concepts.
- Nonie M. from Los Altos, CA
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!
- Amee C. from Palo Alto, CA
John overall is a great teacher. Very calm and collected. The way he teaches and constructs you to look at the test (SAT) is great. Highly recommend. Really enjoyed my time with John and look forward to more.
- Xander G. from Keller, TX
John helped me a great deal. I am taking a class on Landforms and Landscapes and I was struggling with coastal geographies. He spent the time the help me understand the material and guide me to the correct answer. The thing I appreciated the most was that he made a point to not give me answers and pushed me to find it on my own with his guide. I successfully submitted the assignment and feel I have a far better understanding of coastal geography more. I will definitely be asking John for more help in the future.
- Chris C. from South Webster, OH
John is fast responding my questions. He is knowledgable to work with. After his editing, the writing looks much better grammatically. I'll definitely ask for his help again next time.
- Shirley L. from Plano, TX
John did an amazing job. For someone that was struggling greatly before the session I was able to come out of it feeling much more confident in the work that I am doing. He was able to answer all the questions that I had with no problem. GREAT JOB!
- Joseph B. from Manorville, NY
John's great! My son is in grade school and with online learning being a little challenging, John still manages to keep his lessons engaging and easy to understand. My son really enjoys learning from John.
- Cristina E. from Orinda, CA
Really happy I chose John to help me with my Personal Statement for grad admissions. He was really able to point out the mistakes I have made within my essay and as well help me with the important parts I was missing. He made sure to answer all of my questions and concerns. I submitted my statement without fear of knowing it was not good or felt as if it was missing something. Thank you!!
- Ivana V. from Naples, FL
John walked me through the brainstorming, writing, editing, and finalizing of my anthropology writing sample. He is very knowledgeable, organized, and good at teaching. He knows how to explain an anthropological perspective in a clear yet deep way. He always challenges me to think on a more sophisticated level. More importantly, with his help, I am able to step back, reflect upon my writing, and even become my own editor. Highly recommend to anyone who not only hopes to improve writing skills, but also hopes to enhance the ability of thinking reflexively, critically, and holistically.
- Zihan X. from New York, NY
He has really helped me a lot and I highly recommend him. I got behind because I got sick and he has really made a lot of things very clear on assignments I got behind on. Best tutor so have had this far.
- Angela S. from Pearland, TX
he not only helped me with my homework at such a short notice, but I was truly able to understand the book I was reading at greater depths. He explained it in a way that was easy to understand. I will definitely be working with him again. Thank You so much!
