Highly Recommended and Knowledgeable Tutor
James D. was an excellent tutor. My son sent him the questions ahead of time, and James prepared the material in advance. He was able to explain all the answers clearly. He knows his material well. My son had a few precalculus tutoring sessions with him and found him very knowledgeable. He understood the material well and was very patient in his teaching. I would definitely recommend James D. for his class.

Experienced teacher, very patient
I was able to breeze through the homework problems I was struggling with thanks to James. He explained everything in clear simple language and caught on when I was struggling with certain concepts. He took his time explaining them until I understood them and felt confident. Will definitely schedule another session if I need help with my Bus Cal hw again.

Second season working with James on Math
James helped our son prep for finals in Algebra 2 last year and now he is working again with him for PreCalculus. He will be taking Calculus honors next year and we will definitely have him work with James to ensure he has a high understanding and does well. Excellent tutor with friendly, professional demeanor. Our son always feels great and more confident after meeting with him. Last year he received an A on the final and hoping the same for PreCalculus. Thank you James!!!
