About John

Hi! I'm John, an SAT and ACT prep specialist with 4 years of one-on-one tutoring experience and a background in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Virginia. I scored a 2380 on the SAT (1590 DSAT equivalent) and a 36 (superscored) on the ACT, and I've helped hundreds of students significantly raise their scores. Most students see a 100-200 point SAT improvement or a 4-7 point ACT composite increase within 8-16 hours of focused prep. My approach emphasizes repeatable strategies, pattern recognition, and avoiding common traps, paired with individualized feedback based on each student's strengths, weaknesses, and pacing. I combine live instruction with targeted practice to build both skill and confidence. I tutor all sections of the Digital SAT and ACT. If you're looking for structured guidance and measurable progress, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to answer questions or discuss next steps.
