About James

Bio

I am an experienced academic tutor who is sincerely concerned with your progress and development as a learner and an individual. My tutoring sessions are results driven, and I strive to enable all of my students to achieve that elusive state of being known as Metacognition. This means that 'you know what you know, what you don't know, and how to fix it.'

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Purdue University and am currently pursuing a follow-on masters degree in computer...

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Purdue University and am currently pursuing a follow-on masters degree in computer science.

I would be happy to help guide you through your Calculus or non-calculus based Physics coursework.

Best Regards,

Calculus

Calculus

I would be happy to guide you through developing an understanding of the practical applications of this wonderful subject, Calculus. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Chemistry

Chemistry

Chemistry is a fundamental science and must be learned before any deep understanding of Biology or Physics can be achieved. Because Chemistry is so well-established, people often have trouble breaking through the memorization barrier. The only way to break through this barrier is to make the Periodic Table your best friend. I am here to help you realize what a powerful tool the Periodic Table of Elements truly is, and how knowledge of it will carry over into virtually every scientific endeavor.
Physics

Physics

Physics has evolved quite rapidly in the three hundred some years since it’s classical rebirth. Unfortunately, one reflection of this fact is that introductory physics textbooks have become encyclopedic in scope, leaving many students overwhelmed and exasperated. Physics, the study of forces and their interactions, can be broken down into several core subjects: - Mathematical Methods - Classical Mechanics (including the Special and General Theory of Relativity) - Electricity and Magnetism - Thermal and Statistical Physics - Quantum Mechanics (Nuclear and Particle Physics) I would be happy to guide you through developing an understanding of these core subjects of physics. If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Excellent Tutor

We are using James for tutoring in both Physics and Precalculus. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. James is respectful, punctual and easy to reach. He always comes prepared, and gives us useful study tools/handouts that we can use on our own time. We highly recommend James for your tutoring needs!

Judy, 3 lessons with James

Very knowledgeable

James was a good tutor and was very well prepared for the lesson. He answered all my questions and gave me extra links for additional preparation which was very helpful.

Shan, 2 lessons with James

James W is a great tutor

Not only did James help her with her current work but went much further teaching her to better "read the text book" and is providing some extra problems of his own to make sure she gets the concepts for their next session. Some tutors seem to just want to get the work done - James is helping her learn.

Carol, 12 lessons with James

Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful

James is an expert in all the hard math and science courses. It is his passion to pass on knowledge and help students understand the material that they need to learn. James even gave me extra files with helpful information on my course - Organic Chemistry. He is patient and very happy to help students learn... a true teacher. Also, very responsive by email or phone.
