Introduction
I've helped countless students raise their grades in STEM courses from D's to B's or even A's by meeting once to three times a week, as well as helping students improve their ACT/SAT scores drastically to meet their goals. My students are very pleased with their results. One of my physics students went on to Brown and a statistics student to MIT. Through Thumbtack, I've tutored ACT, SAT, MCAT, AP, IB, A-levels, physics, chemistry, biology, math, programming (R/Python) at high school and collegiate level but I was also a writing tutor at Mizzou's Writing Center and volunteer tutor for high school students.

James helped.my son prep floor retake his SAT and my son felt he helped him tremendously. Also, My son can be introverted but he seemed to hit it off with James immediately. I'm very happy we used his test prep services and will continue working with him as need when my son needs extra support with his AP courses. Highly recommend!!!

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

Working with James has been an absolutely amazing experience. He’s professional, flexible, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. He not only teaches the material based on the work you provide, but he also creates his own PowerPoint presentations to enhance your learning and provide further explanation on the subject matter. He uses multiple teaching tools to supplement a student’s learning based on their specific needs - such as whiteboard digital canvas or Khan Academy (question bank). With his help, my high school student is earning an A in Honors Chemistry! I would most definitely work with him again and would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you James!

James, has been awesome working with our daughter. At the beginning of the school year she was struggling to understand her chemistry homework, after only 4 sessions with James, she was able to raise her grade from a C+ to an A-. James, does a great job explaining problems in a way that she will understand.
