John M. - San Jose Tutor or Private Instructor

Profile of John M.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

With a teaching certificate in TEFL in hand and a great passion for teaching, I focus a substantial amount of energy on fine-tuning every student's needs prior to every session. It is my conviction that teaching should not be done on autopilot. A former Marine and an aerospace engineer, an avid bicyclist, a caring youth-sports coach earlier in life and the proud father of two scholastically-successful division 1A athletes, I find great satisfaction in getting students to unlock their true potential in a relatively low stress environment. Technically, this may be my second career; but in actuality I have been a teacher all my life.

What many might consider uncharacteristic of a Marine sergeant, I believe that fun can be a vital motivator in the learning process. Yet, I realize that the desire to learn has to ultimately become the students'. Don't settle for mediocrity! Light the fire by securing the services of a competent tutor, one who will leave a positive mark in someone's future.
