About James
For thousands of independent reviews click here: (concealed information)
I specialize in college math, physics and physical chemistry courses. Very few tutors are willing to help with these classes. If you need help with Calculus 3, differential equations, linear algebra, Mechanics, E&M, Modern Physics, Physical Chemistry, or Quantum Mechanics, I'm your guy.
I run the successful physics YouTube Channel Inductica. (concealed information)
I currently am a founding member of an AI startup.
Valedictorian St. Bonaventure High School.
BS in Physics from University of Southern California.
Master's Degree in Physics from University of Pittsburgh
Teaching will always be a part of who I am, so I still take time out of my busy schedule to tutor.

I have a simple online setup which allows us to see each other's written work.
My top priority is to give you a conceptual understanding of the material (as opposed to rote memorization). I do this by asking you questions to gauge your understanding. Then I assign tailored problems (often which I make up on the spot) to address the material you don't understand. I also like to encourage you by pointing out the things you do understand. I am very patient since, unlike most math people, I understand that this stuff isn't obvious just because I know it! I joke around to keep you entertained while still being intellectually demanding.

I have known James for many years. He has been a great teacher and tutor and has a vast knowledge of Physic and Mathematics. His sense of humor and enthusiasm always keeps students engaged and helps them learn the subject matter quickly. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!
I've known James for many years. He's patient with his students and if one approach isn't working he changes his approach so that the student better understands. He's is understandable and clear. He gets to know his student quickly so as to best approach what the student needs to get out of the session.
Not only is James one of the most interesting people you'll ever meet, but he is also one of the few professors I've ever had who truly teaches rationally. His communication is precise, and he has a clear grasp not only of his subject matter, but also of the necessary prerequisites to learn each individual topic within it. This allows him to deliver lessons that are thoughtfully planned, with pacing and content that was always ideally suited to my knowledge level. Last but not least, he is a true teacher (not just a fact-deliverer). Instead of just giving you the answer right way, his entire approach is based on helping you figure it out for yourself.
My husband James is a world class tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable in math and physics while at the same time still being patient with his students. He has worked hard to gain his knowledge so he knows the struggle students must go through in order to get it. I highly recommend him for your company.
James is responsible for unlocking all my intellectual potential. He is a great mentor. Whether he teaches you math or some other subject, you will not only excel, but more importantly, and subtly, you will learn how to reason effectively.
James has a remarkably deep and rigorous understanding of physics and mathematics. I first began working with him during my freshman year as a physics major, and I have since completed my bachelor's degree in physics. Even now, I can confidently say that his understanding of many core equations and physical principles runs deeper than what is often presented in standard lectures.
He helped me work through advanced subjects including quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, always going beyond surface-level problem solving. What distinguishes James is his ability to unpack the structure behind the equations why they take the form they do, how they connect to broader physical principles, and where common misunderstandings arise.
He is patient, precise, and exceptionally clear in his explanations. Working with him significantly strengthened both my conceptual understanding and mathematical maturity. I would highly recommend him to any serious student of physics or mathematics, especially those working at the undergraduate level or beyond.James and I first met at a conference over 15 years ago, and, in the past several years, we have collaborated on developing inductive approaches to teaching, creating narratives to guide learners into new concepts through correct integrations of facts. James works tirelessly to develop careful explanations that students can understand, circling with them until they reach understanding. I have experienced his care in going back and forth over the same chain of thinking until the listener follows his logic. James seamlessly connects theory and practice where conceptual and principled understanding leads to clear and correct solutions. Students who engage him will understand how and why an answer is the truth.
James is a great math and physics tutor who is very supportive and goes above and beyond. He brings good structure to solving the problem as well as shows good flexibility to multiple learning styles. Would recommend!
James is a phenomenal tutor. His innate ability to break down complex concepts and mathematics makes it very easy to digest content that would otherwise take hours/days to master.
If you struggle with anything involving advanced mathematics, I highly recommend him. It is thanks to his tutelage that I am currently excelling in both thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable and more flexible than him.View more recommendations
