John is an excellent tutor. He has worked with my scheduling (considering there is a 3 hour time difference) and can really explain concepts well. I am currently preparing for my actuary p1 exam which is heavily based on probability. He has shown me easier ways to solve problems, which enables me to master the material more efficiently. I feel more confident after every session and I am so grateful to have found him as my tutor!!! Worth every dollar!!!! Many thanks John!!!

In short: John is the best teacher I have encountered in my entire life.
Not only can he explain extremely difficult GMAT test concepts in simple, accessible language, he can also act as a GMAT strategist, helping plan how and when to take the test to maximize your score.
He took me from a 630 (on a practice test) to a 730 on the official GMAT after a few months. Working with him on my testprep journey took a frustrating and complex process and made it simple and straightforward.
John is also a deeply kind and patient person. I am extremely lucky to have worked with him.
Thanks for being great, John.

John is extremely knowledgable and has a great ability to make difficult concepts seem simple. Working with him for the GMAT prep helped me gain essential skills including time saving skills on the test. I would highly recommend his tutorials if you are looking for a GMAT score boost or even if you want a sense of direction to your preparation. Best of Luck!

I had the pleasure of working with John and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
He tailored our sessions to my specific needs and goals. He listened carefully to my concerns and questions, and always had a thoughtful, well-informed response. I never felt like I was asking too many questions or that any topic was too difficult to approach.
He brought a lot of structure to our study sessions, which was so helpful for me in staying on track and making progress towards my goals. He was also flexible and accommodating when it came to scheduling. On top of all that, he was just a genuinely kind and funny person to work with. I always looked forward to our sessions, even when the material was challenging, because he made the whole experience so positive and enjoyable.
Overall, I would highly recommend this GMAT testprep tutor to anyone looking to improve their scores and achieve their goals.

In order to prepare for the GRE I asked John to help me three weeks before the test. With his help I was able to achieve some of my highest scores in both practice and when I actually took the test. If you need help with the GRE I would highly recommend asking John for help as he is a great tutor.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $160 per hour.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually my first step is to go over work the student has already done to try to diagnose problem areas. Once we identify weaknesses, we devote sessions to them--reviewing concepts, doing practice problems together, etc. I have a flexible approach, since students' needs vary.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have received top scores on all the exams I tutor (770 GMAT, 170q/167v GRE, 175 LSAT). I am also a Graduate Statistician of the Royal Statistical Society and hold an M.Sc. in Mathematics.
