Outstanding Tutor

I worked with James over a period of several months on a masters-level dissertation in economic policy. He was an invaluable support not just through the statistical work, but through the entire analytical process. What impressed me the most was his ability to work across disciplines and to research the best statistical solutions for the topic at hand—even those that involved econometrics. Of course, this is not entirely surprising since his own educational credentials are of such high caliber. And, in practice, he is a true perfectionist and extremely committed to those he works with. I found James at the point of nearly giving up entirely on the dissertation. It was being undertaken within the context of a long-distance program with minimal support. Indeed, being on the East Coast, in order to work with James (and benefit from his LSE experience) I had to be tutored on the telephone. This worked out very well. With his knowledge and patience, James was able to turn the entire learning experience around for me. Ultimately, tutoring was something I looked forward to—not just useful but enjoyable. James is also extremely pleasant, kind, flexible, and fair-minded. I could not recommend him more strongly.

Very knowledgeable and respectful person

He helped me to navigate through SPSS. It was the first time I used the program, and he patiently explained to me all the basics. I highly recommend his tutoring service.

James was great

James is a consummate professional. He doesn’t sound annoyed or bothered whatsoever and takes the time to dive deep with the subject matter. Excellent for SPSS

Thomas, 2 lessons with James

Patient and understanding how intimidating SPSS can be when you are first learning the software.

We practiced through many types of graphs with different variable and creating scatter plots. He helped me to relax and lean i streak of being stressed about the material. He is patient and kind and very directed about how to work through the statistics. Thank you James!

Amazing Tutor

Great tutor!! Statistics and SPSS is not my comfort zone. However, James explains it in such way that is understandable and relatable! Wouldn’t have been able to get through this class without his help!

Antoine, 2 lessons with James

Very patient tutor, highly recommended

James went through logistic regression and ordinal logistic regression models, how to look at the results, and make it better. He was extremely patient and dedicated to helping me with my research paper. I will definitely reach out again when I need to.

Statistics discourse is possible...

James is an amazing tutor. He is indeed knowledgeable and patient! I really liked his conversational approach to engage me in statistics discourse. This in turn helps one build their confidence level for the information that they already know. His approach also helps to affirm the student's ability to legitimately forge ahead because you are capable and you can. I highly recommend James and I will be meeting with him again soon.
