James significantly helped my daughter in AP Physics and Pre Calculus where she sometimes struggled with the homework and exams. I highly recommend James as a tutor as he is super friendly and helpful. He is flexible and diligent.

Since I have been working with James he has helped me both get ahead of my organic chemistry class so I can understand the material as well as help me complete and understand concepts I may not have understood for my homework. Unlike other tutors he also will go over concepts you don't understand over and over again until you understand it. Overall, he is a tutor that will make sure you understand what you are doing, and he explains things to make you understand it as well.

I had the pleasure of working with James to get a better understanding of the concepts in graduate level statistics class; he provided invaluable assistance in understanding complex problems. James possesses a deep understanding of statistical methods and can explain them in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. He doesn’t just provide the answer, he gives clarity around why the answer is correct. His patience and knowledge make him an excellent tutor. I highly recommend James for tutoring opportunities in statistics or any math courses. His expertise and dedication will undoubtedly benefit any student seeking assistance.

James is excellent. I am not as good as he is in Math or Algebra for example. Takes me time to solve it. James was quick. Waited on me till I found the URL for the test. Thank you James
