About James


Bio

I am currently teaching at Lehigh University, where I typically handle between 100-300 students in my classes. I have 13 years of experience with teaching, and 15 years of experience with tutoring and mentoring. My approach is intuition first, followed by precision and problem solving. I strongly believe in my students' ability to master any mathematics they encounter, and I do everything possible to help them on that journey.

I am currently teaching at Lehigh University, where I typically handle between 100-300 students in my classes. I have 13 years of experience with teaching, and 15 years of experience with tutoring and mentoring. My approach is intuition first, followed by precision and problem solving. I strongly believe in my students' ability to master any mathematics they encounter, and I do everything possible to help them on that journey. I will not only help you solve problems, but show you three different methods that work so that you can choose the best one for your thinking style.

I specialize in teaching calculus I-III, complex variables, linear algebra, differential equations, and real analysis. I also have a solid background in physics, which allows me to provide context and applications for the mathematics encountered in these subjects. I do my best to tailor the material and problems to your specific background and interests, but also to the course requirements and instructor's preferences.

Some further details on my education and background: I started my academic journey at a community college, transferred to a liberal arts school, and then completed my Ph.D in Riemannian Geometry at Lehigh University. This path has allowed me to experience many levels of preparedness, life circumstances, and prioritization that those seeking tutors may have.

Approved Subjects

Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I have about 13 years of experience with teaching and being a teaching assistant. My field of research makes significant use of real analysis, and this was my strongest out of the standard graduate school subjects. I also regularly run workshops to help PhD students prepare for the Real Analysis qualifier exam.
