John D.

Certified Teacher Specializing in Science, Math, and SAT Prep | Stanford Graduate

Hi, I’m John! I graduated as the valedictorian from Pomona College with a degree in Biology and earned a Master’s in Education along with a teaching credential from Stanford University. With four years of experience teaching science in California high schools and over 1,000 hours of tutoring in science, math, SAT prep, and study skills, I’ve worked with students from middle school through adulthood.

About James

Bio

I am passionate about both the subjects I teach and the effectiveness of my instruction. I provide support with warmth and encouragement, tailoring my approach to match your unique strengths, needs, interests, and learning style. My goal is to present concepts clearly and engagingly, offering specific, customized feedback to help you experience those “aha!” moments that lead to a deeper understanding.

I firmly believe that everyone can master science and math. Together, we’ll move beyond rote memorization to develop lasting comprehension.

If you’re preparing for tests like the SAT or PSAT, I’ll create a personalized study plan based on your current strengths and weaknesses. Our sessions will focus on effective learning strategies, problem-solving techniques, and understanding why certain answers are correct. Having scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT myself, I’m well-equipped to guide you to success.

I also specialize in study skills, organization, and homework management. We’ll collaborate to identify what strategies work best for you and build lasting habits.

Additionally, I can assist with developing custom academic projects that reflect your interests, engage your curiosity, and help you build a standout portfolio for colleges or employers.

I’m always eager to adapt to your needs and help you succeed. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
