I have a natural ability with numbers and math. I also am very good at conveying this to others who struggle in this area. I have been a teaching assistant for the past 2 years at ASU for College Algebra and my reviews from students have always been outstanding. I am a patient person with excellent morals and values. I make sure that I am thorough with all my students, since math is a subject that always builds upon the topics previously covered. I am confident that I can prepare any student for future success in any math class. Sincerely, Jim

I am an accounting major at ASU. I have been a T.A. for 2 College Algebra classes at ASU for the past 2 semesters, and will continue to be one for the next 2 years until I graduate.

I am outstanding in math and algebra. I know trigonometry and geometry pretty well. A little review in these areas will bring me right back to my high school honors roll form. I have received an A+ in Brief Calculus and an A in Math for Business Analysis (next level of Calculus) at ASU. I know my math skills will help you with whatever you are struggling with.

I have been playing baseball for most of my life. The most important task to developing into a great baseball player is learning solid fundamentals. Next, is always having your head in the game and thinking about the situation at hand. By doing these 2 things, most mental and physical errors can be avoided. Play smart and have fun! Thanks, James

A Huge Help With Brief Calculuw

James was a great help to my daughter regarding ASU MAT 210. I wish we would have found him earlier in the semester. He met her at a tutoring lab on campus and provided great help on her study guides.

Jennifer, 2 lessons with James

Thorough and great tutor!

James was very detailed and patient with me. He was prepared, professional and very knowledgeable. He was clear in his method of teaching. I would definitely recommend James for Math tutoring.

Yvette, 4 lessons with James

No complaints

James is a great no nonsense tutor. A mature student can't ask for better. You do your part and he does his.

Michael, 54 lessons with James

Getting an A in math

Definitely get a tutor if you want to understand a hard concept. James has been over a few times to show me math and I have been able to skip a year of classes and get an A, which I am sure I would not have done on my own.

Scott, 5 lessons with James

True To His Word!

James is exactly what he says he is: kind and patient and able to tutor/teach the most difficult subject under the most trying circumstances. He was always prompt and organized with the necessary materials to be utilized during the session. James was as eager to help me learn as I was about learning and I would utilize his services again and would recommend him to anyone in need of tutoring.

Lori, 21 lessons with James

James is a terrific tutor!

James has tutored my son a couple of times for Algebra II. He is a very good teacher, is patient, explains everything clearly and he has helped my son who has an A in the class!

Allison, 4 lessons with James

Knowledgeable and thorough

James works with my sons schedule, is very responsive and is helping my son tremendously with Honors Chemistry. I can't wait to watch his grade improve as a result.

Suzie, 5 lessons with James

Excellent

James has really helped me understand my college math. He's very knowledgeable, patient, and has a great way of explaining the concepts. Great teacher! I highly recommend James!

Michelle, 16 lessons with James
