If you can contact me, I would be glad to discuss this opportunity in more detail with you. To let you know a little about myself, I am a college professor who has taught precalculus, calculus 1, calculus 2, calculus 3, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, and much more, for several years. I know these subjects very well, and I can help you learn this material. I know what content you need to know and I can teach you this necessary information without going into a long drawn out explanation. I can explain things at a pace that you will be able to understand. My goal is to make sure that you understand the material and not rush through a session. I would be thrilled to help you with your studies. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Let me know if there is anything that I can do.
My teaching style is one that helps the student to develop the idea, instead of teaching how students how they should think. I have found that individuals tend to remember mathematical concepts better when they discover the explanation. My tutoring style is one that mimics this teaching philosophy. I am not one who gives answers, instead, help the student find the answer. I feel that one-on-one interaction can sometimes better address the needs of a student than teaching to a large group. This interaction will allow us to dig into the material so that you will understand the concepts when it comes time to take an exam.
I have tutored students at various grade levels: middle school, high school, and college. I’ll be glad to help you excel in your studies, whether you need to understand basic math concepts or need help understanding theoretical mathematics. I enjoy teaching various levels of mathematics, and I’ll be glad to help you with your studies. I am always ready to explore new ideas and look for new ways to teach a subject. If you would like to schedule an appoint or need some last-minute help, please feel free to contact me.
I hold a Ph.D. in mathematics, and I have taught at the collegiate level for over 18 years; in addition to, teaching at middle schools and high schools. I have written solution guides, and I am currently in the process of writing a textbook for calculus and discrete mathematics. I have taught math subjects ranging from basic mathematics to higher theoretical mathematics. I specialize in teaching calculus, discrete math, linear algebra, precalculus, trigonometry, as well as other subjects. I have taught these subjects for several years, and I know common areas where students tend to struggle in these courses.
My hobbies include bowl making, learning mathematics, and riding motorcycles.
EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Stephanie Fiesta2024-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James is an amazing math tutor! He set up a program to help our high school son through multivariable calculus. The pace of the work and the level of detail were exactly what was needed. James had many checkpoints throughout the year to make sure that everything was on track. Our son felt very comfortable with James and enjoyed working with him. We would highly recommend him and will use him again should the need arise. Kieran Anzelone2023-12-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James is an amazing tutor and a great guy. We have been working on economics based calculus together and he has helped me understand and learn things that I could not comprehend in lectures. Since working with James my test scores have increased tremendously. He works at a great pace allowing any and all questions while making himself very accessible and flexible towards my schedule. Very patient, kind, knowledgable, and determined to help, strongly recommend. Thank you James! Patrick Fleming2023-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got to work with James for my linear algebra final and over the two weeks we worked together I gained an understanding of the concepts that I could not previously grasp and he simplified all the concepts so that anyone could understand. Christopher Barrett2023-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped with precalculus and calculus class, passing with good grades and had great availability. Winston Paik2023-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tutor. Helped me pass my upper division differential equations and linear algebra class for mechanical engineering. Did a great job getting me ready for the final. I was struggling and on the final I did well above the mean. Highly recommended for high divisional mathematics. Kathleen Robbins2023-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing tutor, very knowledgeable and has an excellent way of explaining complex math topics so they make sense. Dan Cooper2023-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was a great help. Works with your schedule to make sure you get the help you need. Couldn’t have passed my course without him. Chris Young2023-02-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James set up a custom curriculum to tutor me in Linear Algebra in preparation for a Masters program I wanted to apply for. We moved at my pace, stopping to catch up in areas where I needed more help. He is very patient and able to illustrate the concepts in multiple ways to help explain the concepts. Ethanator2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tutor helped me gain a better understanding in linear algebra, and is willing to put the time to help you understand questions you have about the subject. Gordon McMillen2022-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tutor. I am a senior in college and have been studying with James for a semester now. I have an A in business Calculus because of his insight and would not have known basically anything if I did not meet with James. He is very patient and relates the questions to your own life with examples. Extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with Calculus.
