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.
ExcellentBased on 50 reviewsKathleen Robbins2023-05-16Amazing tutor, very knowledgeable and has an excellent way of explaining complex math topics so they make sense.Dan Cooper2023-04-04Was 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 Young2023-02-04James 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.Ethanator2022-12-17This 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 McMillen2022-12-08Great 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.Jackie Boykin2022-11-27James is an amazing tutor. He is very patient and explains concepts very well.Shayna Gentiluomo2022-11-01Joey Foutty2022-10-12James has provided me the BEST tutoring I have ever received. He is incredibly knowledgeable and can explain concepts and topics to me in a way tailored to my learning style. I often had trouble grasping the "why" for many concepts in discrete math and calculus but James was patient and made an extreme effort to help me understand these concepts. He is super kind and would squeeze extra time into his busy schedule so that he could ensure I was well equipped with the skills I needed to succeed. Another thing I really appreciated is that James would challenge me. I was never afraid to ask questions or have him explain something again and he would often guide me to reach conclusions about concepts on my own which was a very fulfilling and beneficial process. Thank you for all of the help James!Eugenia Shirley2022-05-08James is patient, understanding, and explains concepts so well that after our sessions I am more confident in difficult subjects than I thought I ever would be. He is also extremely friendly and easy to communicate with, and I always felt comfortable telling him things I didn't understand or needed extra review on. Thank you for your help, James!Tanya Bhakhri2022-04-25Super helpful!! Struggled in math conceptually and he gave great assistance and simplified very complicated concepts, which allowed me to better understand the material in addition to performing well!
