Personal Statement

I have 9 years of experience teaching all levels of high school mathematics in the public schools. I also have more than 14 years of experience tutoring mathematics to students ranging from 7 years old through adult learners.

I have taught and/or tutored mathematics from basic addition and subtraction through calculus. I have also helped students prepare for the SAT (Aptitude and Subject), ACT, GED, MCAS and SCAT tests in mathematics.

All this experience has taught me that all students can ...

Reviews

John taught me about Transformations in preparation for my precalculus course lesson. It was highly informative and John was quick to introduce the topic to me that helped me feel more prepared for class.

John is very knowledgeable and was extremely helpful with my assignment. He took his time to understand concepts I was not aware or very good at. Thank you!
- Noah W. from Lumberton, NJ
John is easy to understand and did a great job teaching my son his calculus lesson. Thanks John for making it make sense. Will definitely continue to work with John.
- Stacey M. from Bellevue, WA
Work through the mean value theorem, the second derivative and curve sketching. This pieced things together in my mind and made it easier to understand. We also worked through several example problems. John was excellent!

John was very helpful in helping me to better understand the basics of Trigonometry. He was open to questions and easy to understand when explaining. John provided me with multiple review pages for me to refer to and they really came in handy. I have had two sessions with John and I will be using him again when it?s needed.

John helped my son work through review material for his Algebra II midterm. He had fallen behind during behind during the quarter and said that John explained the material better than his algebra teacher. He got an A- on the midterm. Thank you so much!
- Meredith S. from Westborough, MA
John is a great tutor. He quickly adapted to how my daughter learns and with just 2 tutoring sessions her confidence with Algebra is already improving. I would recommend John to anyone.
- Judi M. from Lunenburg, MA
I was struggling in Calculus. I couldn?t find anyone to explain the concepts in simple terms until I found John. He walked me through, step by step and patiently answered my questions. He always made sure I understood the material before moving on. For the first time, not only do, understand Calculus, I am actually enjoying it!
- Paul L. from Huntington Beach, CA
My first lesson went very well. He was understanding and walked me through some of the items I needed to for my test.
- Angie M. from Dracut, MA
Honestly John explained the concepts better than my math teacher did in school. He doesn't speak about math like you're some expert or an idiot, he doesn't talk over your head using jargon. He tells you what things mean and how they work in simple, everyday terms. He connects the dots between math concepts and shows you how they relate. John really knows what he's doing, he doesn't push people to go too far at once like other tutors I've had, he makes sure you have the basics and then covers the more advanced material at a comfortable speed. I'd really advise seeing him if you struggle with the basics or have an uneven understanding of math (some basics, some hard).

My daughter says John really knows his stuff. She's looking forwarded her next tutoring session with John next week. My daughter highly recommends him to others.

My son has had a few lessons with John so far he loves it. He is is excited about math again and very motivated to improve his skills. John is very patient and does a wonderful job at explaining the mathematical concepts.
- Magdalena H. from Concord, MA
I appreciate John for working with my daughter for her Pre-calc. He very much helped her to come up to speed by making her understand of trigonometry and few other chapters and thus bringinf her upto speed in school work.
- Sunita S. from Acton, MA
We just started working with John and my daughter liked him right away after the first lesson, and looked forward to more lessons with John.
- Christine C. from Carlisle, MA
John is an active listener who responded and changed up his way of doing things to suit my daughter's need to write things herself. It made a big difference in her understanding the material.
- Paulette B. from Tyngsboro, MA
John worked very well with my son. When their time was up, my son walked out with confidence! Thank you, John!
- Shannon P. from Leominster, MA
Helped my daughter figure out a math problem & discover an error in the book, which then helped with problem solving thx!
- Denice M. from Lancaster, MA
My son needed some help with his AP Calculus class. I reached out to John and he replied on the same day. We were able to schedule a lesson within a few days. He arrived on time, prepared and ready to go. He went over my son's recent quizzes and homeworks. He was able to show him where he was going wrong and how he could improve his performance. I look forward to John helping my son for the rest of the semester. Well worth the investment.
- David B. from Groton, MA
I told John what I was working on in school the week before we met so he came prepared to work on that specific topic. At our first lesson I showed John what we did in my class the very day we met. He looked at the material and was able to very quickly change plans and show me how to approach the new material in a clear and organized way. I went to school the next day feeling prepared and ahead of my classmates.
