John Pineda

Hello! I’m John, an experienced test prep tutor with more than 2 years of teaching and training experience. I specialize in helping students succeed in SAT, English, GMAT, and TOEFL by combining student-centered methods with practical strategies.

In my lessons, you can expect a structured yet flexible format. We begin with a diagnostic session to identify your current level, strengths, and areas for improvement. From there, I design a personalized study plan focused on your goals. Whether that means strengthening your academic English, mastering SAT math and reading, improving TOEFL writing and speaking, or developing advanced reasoning for the GMAT.

My approach emphasizes clarity and practicality. I break down complex topics into simple, understandable steps and use interactive exercises, real exam questions, and critical thinking activities to make lessons dynamic and engaging. Rather than memorizing rules, you’ll learn how to apply strategies effectively and gain confidence in your abilities.

Having also trained educators, I know how to adapt lessons to suit different learning styles. This ensures that every student—not just those aiming for high exam scores feels supported, challenged, and motivated to improve.

Each session is student-focused: you’ll practice actively, receive constructive feedback, and track progress through regular reviews. My goal is to prepare you not only for exam day but also to equip you with skills that carry into your academic and professional life—such as problem-solving, effective communication, and resilience under pressure.

With tailored guidance and proven techniques, I’ll help you achieve your English, SAT, or exam goals with confidence. Let’s work together to make your success a reality!
