About John Linneball Tutoring

I offer great tutoring at a reasonable price. I have experience with the SAT, SSAT, ISEE, LSAT, and other tests, and not only understand how to take the tests, but how to teach the material to students in a way they can understand. I can answer questions that relate to test prep and academic subjects that only a person with "real world" experience can give - such as "Why do I need to know this stuff, anyway?" Finally, I have a sense of humor, and can engage and entertain while teaching, without being a complete goofball or pushover who doesn't get the job done. This may sound clichéd and cheesy, but it's true. I enjoy reaching young minds and helping people of all ages learn and get ahead in life. It's nice to help someone learn a needed skill at a crucial time in life - what a person learns while young can open doors to a new world of opportunities, and provide needed skilled people to the world.

John was the first tutor to respond to my last-minute request for SAT tutoring, and I was very impressed by his quick response and immediate action. He was extremely responsive, professional, and experienced. I really appreciated his willingness to step in on such short notice and his prompt communication throughout the process. It's been a great experience working with him, and I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable SAT tutor!

Azra J.Dec 2025

We had a wonderful experience working with John, our college counseling tutor. He took the time to truly understand my son’s interests and strengths, and helped identify colleges that were the best fit for him. His guidance in organizing a thoughtful and manageable list of schools, along with creating a clear timeline for applications, made the entire process feel far less overwhelming.

John was very help this year with my 17 year old son as well as with my daughter 2 years ago when she was applying to colleges in regards to their essays. My daughter unexpectedly got into UC BERKELEY and I honestly believe it's because of John's timely assistance as well as his calm explanation of what colleges are looking for. I would highly recommend him especially because this is a major part of our children's lives to prioritize and we all were so happy either his work

Eva Z.Nov 2021

I sent John my essays for the grad school application. He did a stellar job rewriting them so that the essays can stay under the word limit while none of the original messages were removed. He also sent the revision to me two days after I hired him, which is extremely efficient! I'll definitely work with John again!
