I love to tutor and have Master's in Physics and Philosophy. I am very good at figuring out what it is that's hanging a student up and coming up with an approach to the material that allows the student to understand and master it. My motto is "If the student fails to learn, then I have failed to teach!" And I don't like to fail.

Clear and knowledgeable PHP tutor
James helped me understand a more efficient process of de-bugging code--one that lead me to find my errors more apparently and with his guidance. He helped me with a specific PHP assignment where instead of simply hand-feeding me the answers, prompted me to look deeper at potential problems in the code and discern what may be missing. This kind of instruction was helpful because I could more easily apply what I learned from working with him to my other coding related material. James has a calm and positive demeanor which I feel is essential to the kind of work he does with complex coding languages. He helped me feel capable and at ease while working in terminology and methodologies that would assist me beyond the scope of my assignment. It was certainly a pleasure to work and learn from such an understanding and knowledgeable professional with a heart for instruction.

My first lesson with James went very well! We worked through Calculus math problems, he was very clear. Looking forward to my next lesson.

Computer expert and great teacher
Mr. Norris shared his expertise resulting from his decades of work as a system administrator. He fixed a major problem with my computer. I also learned some Terminal commands. Outstanding.

philosophy tutor
James worked with me for two weeks leading up to my final in a graduate level theology/philosophy class. He made difficult-to-understand philosophical concepts accessible through contemporary examples. He was always well prepared and read the texts prior to our lessons, making certain we weren’t wasting time. His help was invaluable and I will not hesitate to reach out in the future - he’s an excellent tutor.

Knowledgeable, patient, flexible
I have been working with James for the last several months learning Physics. He knows a lot, is able to help with problems on the fly. He has been flexible with scheduling—which is very appreciated since the timing of assignments has been variable.

Knowledge and patient tutor!
James helped me with my PHP project that I was struggling with. My project consisted of HTML, CSS, MySQL, and PHP. James was able to help me tremendously that I was able to turn in my assignment on time. He is a patient tutor that is knowledgeable and eager to help you understand your struggling material. I would certainly recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent Practical Knowledge of UNIX Systems
I used James as a tutor for an introductory sys-admin course. I was supposed to write several scripts to manage my local machine and host. James' quality of service is exceptional. I hired him to spot me while I polished my code and verbalized my issues. He was very helpful without overriding the process. His practical knowledge of script languages and the line editor Emacs proved indispensable. James, thank you so much for your time and efforts. Regards, Chris

Just what I needed
James and I had more of a Q&A type meeting and he was able to instill a new confidence in my PHP coding. He answered all my questions and even pointed me to online martial that will help me outside of his lessons. Very happy with everything. Thank you.
