Calculus,

Calculus

I have more than 90 Graduate units in pure and applied mathematics and have taught Calculus at both the high school and college level (CSULA). Over the past several years I have tutored many students in AP calculus, college level Calculus both one and several variables at CSUSJ, SCU and CSUSF, Linear Algebra at CSUSJ, SCU and CSUSF, Abstract Algebra at West Valley College, Differential Equations at West Valley College.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Every teacher/tutor has his favorite math class that he loves to teach, and Pre-Calculus (along with two others) is one of my favorites. I have taught this class at several high schools and many, many times in college. My pre-calculus students are positively prepared for calculus.

Logic

During my undergraduate study, I took full quantifier calculus including identity and description in the philosophy department and mathematical logic in the mathematics department. During my graduate studies, I have taken two semesters of Godel-Bernays set theory in the philosophy department and one full year of Zermelo Fraenkel Set theory, including decidability and completeness theory in the mathematics department. I continue to study order relations and order theory on my own.

Knowledgeable, Prepared, & Dedicated Math Tutor

My son, who was retaking Pre-Calculus, had 25 tutoring sessions with James E., and then received an A grade. Key areas of feedback for James E. include: 1) Extremely knowledgeable about subject matter 2) Well prepared for sessions and provided copies of his notes for post-session review 3) Identified weak areas and focused sessions to strengthen understanding 4) Attuned to the psychology of the student - devoted tutor 5) Regularly provided productive post-session feedback on strengths and weaknesses Retaking Pre-Calculus and then receiving an A grade speaks for itself in terms of results. Just as important, the confidence and problem-solving skills improvement that came with James E.'s tutoring of our son allows us to give our highest recommendation for his services.

Kanwal, 25 lessons with James

Very knowledgeable tutor that can relate to students.

James has taught at various levels (college and high school) for Calculus and is able to relate the topics to students by corresponding practical applications. This approach helps reinforce the equations and provides visual examples to help students remember the techniques needed to solve problems. Highly recommend this tutor. :-)

Christine, 10 lessons with James

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

James helped my student simplify the Calculus concepts and feel more confident about the subject. My student feels now that he has somebody who will help him understand the difficult concepts and guide him through the rest of the school year. We feel fortunate that we found James on Wyzant.

Dora, 13 lessons with James

Methodical and Knowledgeable

He tutored AP Chem to my Junior student, and my kid was very impressed. He was very methodical and thorough. We would highly recommend James for your kid.

Shamiul, 3 lessons with James

Knowledgeable and Thorough Teacher

A friend and I took lessons with James for Calculus BC to review a couple of chapters before the AP test (series, integration, and rotations). Before every lesson, James was prepared with material to go over during our sessions, and walked us through problems step by step to explain concepts and methods to solve problems. His lessons were very thorough, and he was very easy to ask questions to. He made sure to clarify our confusions, often sending us supplemental material as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend!

Gargi, 6 lessons with James

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

James taught saxon pre calculus math. My daughter had questions on some concepts and he went over them. Besides teaching math he encouraged her on how to approach and be confident in her answers when asked.

Teja, 1 lesson with James

Patient and able to explain difficult concepts

My daughter has had a few lessons with James and is excited that she now understands some difficult topics in AP Calculus. James enjoys teaching and tries to accommodate us even though he has a busy schedule. We highly recommend him.

Rashmi, 8 lessons with James

knowledgeable and systematic

James is very educated on his professional field. But patient and communicate well with my son. We are happy to see the result. We highly recommend James to come to help.

Lily, 37 lessons with James

Helping my child to target her own needs

Listens to your child and makes them comfortable asking questions. Very engaged. would recommend James especially if your child is nervous about meeting a tutor, perhaps for the first time. A low key approach but extremely knowledgeable and made the lesson low stress and fun

C++

James knows his stuff when it comes to coding with C++. Patiently working with him, he's helped my son gain a better understanding of a difficult subject. I also appreciate how he shows up on time and is ready to work.
