Introduction: Starting with an abstract level of a concept, I get to understanding what the client/student already understands, and then link the concept with what the client/student knows in order to allow them to make a concrete connection in their mind that sticks in memory. Seeing people learn and become more aware from their errors: there is nothing more rewarding than that. Even if I had all the money I ever wanted, I'd still find that helping people and meeting them where they are with whatever skills I have is the real reward in life.

Jimmy is a fantastic tutor. He informed himself about the Australian Curriculum and was prepared for my year 5 and year 11 kids from the first day on. He explained the tasks thoroughly and always had examples referencing to music. This created an easy tool for my musician son to understand math and enjoy the teaching. Thanks to Jimmy both kids are up-to-date with their math school work after 8 weeks out of school. Jimmy is kind but also focused on the outcome. Great experience

It was an absolute pleasure working with the boys and I would be more than happy to work with them again should the need arise.

Once a week every week during the school year, from early 2016 through 2018, Jimmy has come to our house to tutor our high school son. Starting with algebra, they worked all the way through geometry, Trig, precalculus, calculus up through differential equations, and SAT prep. As a result, we noticed a marked difference in our son's mastery, calm and confidence around math in general and standardized testing in particular. And Jimmy is just terrific – reliable, thoughtful, focused, friendly with a lovely warm low-key charm. We're only sorry that since our son is now moving on to college so we no longer have an excuse to hire Jimmy. His fee is very reasonable, and an outstanding value for in-home tutoring.

It was great working with you over the last couple years. There was a tiny bit of rough financial math, but it was all good with a little bit of thinking on our feet lol

very helpful, clearly explains how to do problems. Patiently waits until problems are fully understood before moving on. Always on time and eager to help.
