Knowleagable and well organized

The lessons are clear, well-organized, and explained in a way that makes even challenging topics easier to understand. I really appreciate the way Mr. Jim encourages questions and provides clear explanations. The exercises are always helpful for reinforcing the material.

Amazing

Jim has been great reteaching the fundamentals of math. It’s been awhile and the thought of having to study again has caused some anxiety. Jim is patient and knows how to break the subject matter in a way you will understand it. I look forward to future sessions with him.
