James E. offers Chemistry Lessons and Geometry Lessons

Victoria H. from Mountain View, CA I observed nearby while cleaning my kitchen. The chemistry tutoring session was based on my daughter's graded test with 60% correct. James coached my daughter on how to approach her upcoming re-test. What key words would tell her which of two equations (ideal or general gas law) she should use to solve the answer. He made sure she knew the concepts and what pitfalls to avoid before he left. This took an extra 30 minutes. I had asked him ahead of time if he could stay beyond 60 minutes if she needed it. James knows his subject inside and out and his enthusiasm shows.

Rich R. from San Jose, CA James has been working patiently with our student twice a week for the past few weeks. The results are beginning to show in class.

Kanwal M. from Milpitas, CA 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.

Rita H. from Santa Clara, CA James persists until student understands basic groundwork. Many tutors listen to cries for help with homework and skip recognition that what student actually needs is to strengthen earlier foundations. James' focus is always on his understanding of where the student needs to be directed for his future welfare.
