The best I've seen...knows all...but down to earth
Tim, 60 lessons with JamesThis guy is great. I have two college kids, one taking engineering and one taking calc. Jim knows every question in a variety of subjects. He is always ready to work. He's like the energizer bunny. His attitude is always upbeat and positive. For a guy who knows so much, he is very down to earth and interested. I recommend him to everyone. I've used other tutors...he's tops.
-(HIGHEST RATINGS)-
Bring the full weight of a PhD, as tutor, and student advocate.
Hello Students,
If you need help with mathematics, physics, or engineering, I’d be glad to help out. With dedication, every student succeeds, so don’t despair!
Learning new disciplines keeps me very aware of the struggles all students face. Beyond academics, I spend my time in the wilderness, backpacking, kayaking, and bicycling. With an extensive mobile shop, I also craft items via metalworking,...
James hasn’t set a schedule.

Great experience, knowledgeable tutor!
I contacted James for an emergency tutoring session same day for my daughter who had a Calculus test the next day and did not completely understand the material. James was very responsive and changed his schedule to accommodate a lesson with her and reviewed the fundamentals, She did get 90% on her test the next day.

Incredibly good at explaining math in English
I was very impressed with Jim's ability to bridge the gap between how "higher math" (calculus and beyond) is explained in formalistic textbooks, and how it needs to be understood to be used in the real world of science and engineering.

I think he's the best!
I'm an adult learner going to back to school for engineering. I've had many tutors throughout my educational career, none like Dr. P. I have struggled with math my whole life and Dr. P gave me so much confidence after my first session. He was able to accurately assess my current knowledge/skill and we rapidly progressed. Overall, he was life changing for me and makes math fun!

Excellent tutor!
He simplified the concepts for me and made the material I was learning that much more accessible. In just two hours I had a better grasp on physics!

Great teacher, very motivated
Jim is always engaged and genuinely strives to help me understand every part of given material in my math class. He puts in extra effort or whatever it takes to make sure you feel like you are getting the most out of his tutoring sessions.

A caring and knowledgeable tutor
James is a very caring tutor and an expert in the subject of Physics. He has been helping my son with home work and preparing him for his upcoming test. My son loves his way of teaching AP physics. My son just started lessons with him.

Extremely knowledgeable, thorough and patient tutor in physics and math.
James was highly recommended by people we know whose children were tutored by him. They were absolutely 100% correct ! He has helped our daughter understand the physics and math courses which gave her so much difficulty in school. James is a life saver! I do not believe there is another tutor as good as him.
