Do you need last-minute help cramming for an exam, or need some help understanding a math problem? Look no further; I am here to help you pass your exam and complete your homework.

I hold a Ph.D. in mathematics, and I have taught at the collegiate level for over 14 years; in addition to teaching at middle schools and high schools. I have written solution guides, and I am currently in the process of writing a textbook for calculus.

I have taught math subjects ranging from basic mathematics all the way to higher theoretical mathematics. I specialize in teaching calculus, discrete math, linear algebra, precalculus, trigonometry, as well as other subjects. I have taught these subjects for several years, and I know common areas where students tend to struggle in these courses.

My teaching style is one that helps the student to develop the idea, instead of teaching how students how they should think. I have found that individuals tend to remember mathematical concepts better when they discover the explanation. My tutoring style is one that mimics this teaching philosophy. I am not one who gives answers, rather, help the student find the answer. I feel that one-on-one interaction can sometimes better address the needs of a student than teaching to a large group. This interaction will allow us to dig into the material so that you will understand the concepts when it comes time to take an exam.

I enjoy teaching various levels of mathematics whether you need to understand basic math concepts or help understanding more advanced theoretical mathematics. I am always ready to explore new ideas and look for new ways to teach a subject. Credentialed by ACUE, (Association of College and University Educators).

Mathematica

I am versatile in several computational mathematical programs such as Mathematica and LaTex. I have used these software programs in the courses that I teach. I use LaTex on a daily basis for 10+ years. And, I have been using Mathematica (and other programs) for 7+ years. If you need any help with these two programs, then just let me know.

Effective and knowledgeable tutor.

James did a great job tutoring my daughter for her IB SL Math class. It was easy to communicate with James, set a tutoring time, and get feedback on next steps for Ruby.

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor

We covered local and global extrema. Very informative lesson. We went over practice problems from my textbook and he talked me through the steps to arrive at the correct answer.

Thank you for the last minute help

He helped my daughter at the last minute for her exam by managing his schedule, and his tutoring was very kind and proper. She was almost depressed at the time, but he helped her tackle the challenge. She appreciated him very much.

Great advanced math tutor!

James taught my high school senior advanced calculus bc and he made the material easy to understand and she learned a lot. She definitely wants to continue working with James.

Very helpful

My son was really happy with how James helped him in his precalculus class questions. We will definitely use him for another lesson. James was able to provide problems that my son could work through.
