"Hello, I’m John. I'm an SAT and ACT prep specialist with four years of one-on-one tutoring experience and a background in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Virginia.

I help students make clear, measurable score improvements through focused and strategic preparation. I regularly help students improve 100-200+ SAT points within 8 to 15 hours of targeted prep, or raise ACT composite scores by 4-7+ points over a similar timeframe.

My approach emphasizes repeatable strategies that help students recognize patterns, avoid common traps, and apply the right mindset on test day. I pair this with individualized feedback tailored to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and pacing, using a combination of live instruction and targeted assignments. I aim to create a structured, patient, and encouraging learning environment that builds both skill and confidence.

I tutor all sections of the Digital SAT, including Reading and Writing and Math, as well as all sections of the ACT, including English, Math, Reading, and Science.

Some of my qualifications include:

• 2380 SAT score, equivalent to approximately 1590 on the current scale

• 36 ACT super scored

• 790 SAT Math, 790 SAT Reading, and 800 SAT Writing

• 36 ACT English, 36 Math, 36 Reading, and 35 Science

• AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP European History, and AP Psychology, all with scores of 5

If you’re looking for clear structure, consistent guidance, and measurable progress, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to answer questions or discuss next steps.
