Introduction
I've helped countless students raise their grades in STEM courses from D's to B's or even A's by meeting once to three times a week, as well as helping students improve their ACT/SAT scores drastically to meet their goals. My students are very pleased with their results. One of my physics students went on to Brown and a statistics student to MIT. Through Thumbtack, I've tutored ACT, SAT, MCAT, AP, IB, A-levels, physics, chemistry, biology, math, programming (R/Python) at high school and collegiate level but I was also a writing tutor at Mizzou's Writing Center and volunteer tutor for high school students.

I had the pleasure of working with James to get a better understanding of the concepts in graduate level statistics class; he provided invaluable assistance in understanding complex problems. James possesses a deep understanding of statistical methods and can explain them in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. He doesn’t just provide the answer, he gives clarity around why the answer is correct. His patience and knowledge make him an excellent tutor. I highly recommend James for tutoring opportunities in statistics or any math courses. His expertise and dedication will undoubtedly benefit any student seeking assistance.

Since I have been working with James he has helped me both get ahead of my organic chemistry class so I can understand the material as well as help me complete and understand concepts I may not have understood for my homework. Unlike other tutors he also will go over concepts you don't understand over and over again until you understand it. Overall, he is a tutor that will make sure you understand what you are doing, and he explains things to make you understand it as well.

Working with James has been an absolutely amazing experience. He’s professional, flexible, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. He not only teaches the material based on the work you provide, but he also creates his own PowerPoint presentations to enhance your learning and provide further explanation on the subject matter. He uses multiple teaching tools to supplement a student’s learning based on their specific needs - such as whiteboard digital canvas or Khan Academy (question bank). With his help, my high school student is earning an A in Honors Chemistry! I would most definitely work with him again and would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you James!

James, has been awesome working with our daughter. At the beginning of the school year she was struggling to understand her chemistry homework, after only 4 sessions with James, she was able to raise her grade from a C+ to an A-. James, does a great job explaining problems in a way that she will understand.
