I was very anxious about my final exam in Linear Algebra, as I had fallen behind the entire semester and struggled to grasp the concepts. James came to my rescue, and we had an incredibly productive and diligent session. His skillful teaching was evident! I left our session a transformed student, and after taking the exam, I felt confident in my performance because of him! If you ever need help with your studies, James is definitely the tutor to seek out—even if you're a whole semester behind with just one night to catch up. He has an exceptional command of math and patiently broke down the concepts for me, even when I asked him to explain how to solve a problem five times haha. Each time he explained it in a new way that helped me comprehend. It's safe to say that he is truly an outstanding tutor.

My son is taking Algebra 2 Honors and needed some help with an assignment. James was so patient and answered all of his questions. My son said he felt more confident after the session. I would highly recommend James! We will definitely continue using his tutoring services!

James was an excellent tutor for University Calc II. Son went from failing to a B in 5 weeks. His confidence improved so much he’s considering calc III. James was very easy to work with and always was quick to respond. He made a huge difference in my son’s college experience. Recommend 5 stars all the way. Worth every penny

Jon, 9 lessons with James

I had explained to James that my extremely smart senior was behind on her college math course, and the stress of it was really too much. He said, no worries, I can help. He more than helped. After her first session she said, I forgot that I love math and I’m good at it. Don’t hesitate, hire him.

Brittany, 17 lessons with James

James tutored my son . He was having trouble understanding some concepts for Calc 1 for his mid terms James did a great job tutoring him . He clarified many concepts and made sure he was well prepared for the tests. He is a great tutor and would highly recommend him!

Shamini, 3 lessons with James

My son appreciates the way James is able to explain complex problems with great clarity and offers multiple layers of rationale. He finds James efficient, making very good use of their time together. James is friendly and earnest and eager to help, and my son sincerely enjoys meetings with him.

Andrea, 17 lessons with James

My student felt shaky before a test and asked to meet with a tutor. James M. was a great choice - he patiently walked through sample problems, explaining the steps along the way. Over the course of the next few days before the test, my student practiced many more hours, using the concepts reviewed with James. The night before the test, my student once again felt confident in math. We will definitely contact James again if another review is needed!

BT, 1 lesson with James

Incredible tutor and “wicked smart” as my son said. Extremely knowledgeable and great at explaining concepts. Truly helped my son learn and understand his differential equations class and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

V, 5 lessons with James

Prior to taking differential equations, I had not taken a core math class in approximately 2 years. James was able to help me better understand the fundamental concepts I was learning despite having lost some knowledge in between my extended gap in classes. James was always available when I needed, he responded quickly and, I felt like he always had a thorough understanding of any topic I asked. On top of this, he was able to help guide me to the answer rather than just giving it to me outright which helped me better understand the material. I highly recommend this tutor for people of any mathematical skill level.

Chance, 19 lessons with James

My son felt hopeful and encouraged after his first session with James. He will continue to lean on James to help him through his calculus I & II and linear algebra courses at university. He especially liked how collaborative the session felt and how knowledgeable James is with the material! We found the right tutor for our son. What a blessing!

Yanny, 146 lessons with James

James helped my daughter prepare for her college calculus midterm. He was proactive about looking over her material before the lesson and making sure he was familiar with what she was specifically needing help. She couldn’t stop saying afterward how helpful his instruction was. How clearly he explained what she needed and how grateful she was that he posted the video of the lessons so that she could go back and focus on anything she needed to spend more time with. James made a difference for her. She’s already planning their reviews for the next exam coming up.

Erin, 6 lessons with James

James helped my daughter in Calc 2, the most difficult semester of math at her school. She almost failed Calc 1, and did so much better with James' help. Not sure she would have done as well as she did without him. Excellent!!!

Stacy, 18 lessons with James

I learned so much from James this past semester. We had regular sessions where he broke down complex material into terms I could understand. He really knows his stuff and is patient and professional tutor. I highly recommend him!

Claire, 11 lessons with James

James taught me about the distributive property of multiplication and how that can be applied in linear algebra. I learned how to find the dot product of two unit vectors that are orthogonal. I also learned how to find the l2 norm for a vector. He broke down these concepts in a way that was easy to understand. Because of his tutoring, I aced a quiz that was previously struggling with.

Alex, 3 lessons with James

My go to tutor. Thanks for all your help! *if wyzant wants reviews, take the minimum character requirements off. To force people to spend time on this is frustrating.

James was an excellent tutor. He is very patient and really tried to let my daughter figure out her problems. He asked great questions while she was processing without making her feel inadequate. I would recommend him to all!

J, 1 lesson with James

He is a math machine. He knows advanced math topics really well and is able to help me get all my problems right. It is so much more efficient for me to have someone help me through problems until I get the hang of it, it’s a quicker way for me to learn.

James, 59 lessons with James

Really solid tutor, would use him again. He help explain things and fill in some gaps that I missed from lecture. We went over a HW and he really helped explain everything as I was in need of a good review.

James is awesome! Great explanations and a huge help! I shared sample questions before the session and James was prepared and focused on what I needed to learn. Thank you!

Kimia, 7 lessons with James

We reviewed correlation coefficient, null hypothesis, and all that other statistics stuff I hate, but he is helping me through it to understand. As a nurse, I am required to take statistics, and I am 53, so having a tutor is such a great help. I will also hire one for my writing.

I took a condensed integral calculus course this Winter, which I had previously failed, and with James' help, I managed to get an A in the course. We met frequently, and with each meeting, my understanding of the material which had once been so foreign to me began getting more and more clear. James is patient and will explain things to you as many times as it takes for you to understand them. There was not a topic that James was unfamiliar with, and I would recommend his service to anyone struggling in calculus, or any math class in general.

Jaden, 8 lessons with James

James is a very knowledgeable tutor. He is very patient and gives meticulous explanations. He helps his students clearly understand the concept of calculus! My son is beginning to understand a lot what he has missed on his older tests and homework's. We will continue to have James help our son with his calculus understanding!

Latoya , 5 lessons with James

James helped me to better understand the mathematical underpinnings of data science homework (specifically around calculus 3 and linear algebra). I found him to have an excellent grasp of these foundational concepts and he helped to both support my getting better understanding and to help to highlight learning opportunities for myself going forward. Beyond his stellar expertise, he verbalizes his intuition quite well and helps to match the speed at which I 'get' the concepts. Have really enjoyed working with James and plan on seeking him out in the future.

Mark, 9 lessons with James

James helped me with precalculus and SAT Math. He is very patient and knows a lot about math and helped me do better on my assessments at school.
