Andre M.

10 Physics lessons

James was highly recommended by people we know whose children were tutored by him. They were absolutely 100% correct ! He has helped our daughter understand the physics and math courses which gave her so much difficulty in school. James is a life saver! I do not believe there is another tutor as good as him.
Myles G.

1 Physics lesson

I went into it knowing some formulas and expected to go away being able to plug in values. He taught me how to not only do that, but to conceptualize the problem and have a good idea of the answer before putting pencil to paper. That is the biggest compliment I could give a Physics tutor.
Patrick R.

11 Physics lessons

He's tutoring me in College Physics and Pre Calculus. Only had our first session but it went great and I learned a good bit from only an hour spent. He was ready on time and very helpful and willing to work whatever problem you throw his way.
