About James

Bio

I have an easy-going style which seems to work well with students who are anxious about science and math.

I received a Bachelor's in Chemistry from Brandeis University in 1991 and earned my Master's in Science Education from Columbia University Teachers College in 1996. I have been teaching science for 22 years at a top school in New Jersey, where I have been heavily involved with developing labs and activities for students. I have taught all levels of physical and environmental sciences,...

I have an easy-going style which seems to work well with students who are anxious about science and math.

I received a Bachelor's in Chemistry from Brandeis University in 1991 and earned my Master's in Science Education from Columbia University Teachers College in 1996. I have been teaching science for 22 years at a top school in New Jersey, where I have been heavily involved with developing labs and activities for students. I have taught all levels of physical and environmental sciences, including AP. I have more than 15 years experience tutoring in all these areas, as well as Algebra and SAT/ACT math and science.

I believe my strength as a tutor lies in making students feel comfortable and simplifying complex ideas to just the basics. Since I currently teach Honors/AP, I am also adept at making sure all the bases are covered for exams.

I enjoy running, travel, spending time with my kids, and music. I particularly love running and belong to a couple of running clubs in the area.

Amazing tutor with patience

James was absolutely amazing. Wish I could give him more than 5 stars. He was able to explain the material to my son in a way he was able to comprehend it. He was very flexible to schedule a time with and was very punctual. Will definitely use him again and would recommend him to all!!
