Gloria K.

2 Precalculus lessons

Andrew was able to start tutoring my son for his Honors Precalculus class on relatively short notice. After an unexpected prolonged illness, my son needed help getting caught up on missed lessons and preparing for tests. Andrew arrived on time, was very knowledgeable with regard to the material and helped my son understand some high level math concepts in an approachable way. Our son appreciated his patience, thoroughness of explanations, and positive teaching style.

viktoria M.

6 Precalculus lessons

She has had challenges with precalculus since the beginning of the school year, unable to get help from her teacher or anyone else. Rick's hands-on approach and the attitude that he was solving problems along with my daughter made a huge difference. She feels more confident in the knowledge that she has someone who is on her side who will help her understand the matetial she struggles with. And that is the highest recommendation i can give any teacher.

Tamara W.

92 Precalculus lessons

He is student centered and quickly developed a rapport. My son enjoyed his first session and informed me that Mr. James made the concepts easy to understand, which was a completely different experience than the classroom. From the first meeting, I felt Mr. James was invested in my son's ultimate success. My son had essentially given up on precalculus when we contracted Mr. James. With just a few weeks left in the quarter my son increased a failing score to a 74%.
