Reviews

I?m a junior in high school and need help in preparing for math on the SAT. James was a very good teacher and very patient with me. He explained things so I understand them better. I felt comfortable and confident after our session. My mom is very happy and plans on using him again for future tutor sessions.

James helped me with some material I needed further explaining in. We also came up with a schedule to help me with math and computer classes throughout school year.
- Ramya G. from Lagrangeville, NY
James helped me through the SAT questions I needed help with. He was very patient and throughly explained the questions making sure I understood the problem. James was quick to replying back and figuring out a place to meet up for the session that work for both of us.

James is very knowledgable and always available to help. He always responds fast and will take time to make himself familiar with the assignment. And he always responds if you have any question on what was done. My assignments were pretty long and complex, but he was able to help me dissect them and work on them step by step. I can honestly say I couldn?t have made it through half of this class without his help.
- Mariam C. from Riverview, FL
I met with James to get a handle on the basics of C#. Not only did he help me meet my objectives, but he also showed me some Visual Studio tips, which I didn't even know I needed! I feel a lot more confident now.
- Brittny M. from Miami, FL
James was very patient with me and understanding! He did a great job of encouraging me to find the answer first for myself before showing me the correct way of how to do things. I really appreciated his teaching style and definitely will be back to tutor with him in the future if I need!

- Otis B. from Houston, TX
Completed the assignment prior to the lesson and James helped debug and help create some of my GUI. James is very patient and helped me learn different ways to solve a problem. Best tutor ever!!
- Lily H. from Largo, FL
First off, James was very prompt at replying and getting back to me when I first messaged him which I really appreciated cause my assignment was due on the same day I contacted him. When it got to the session, he was very patient and easy to talk to. He helpfully guided me through each question on my assignment and made sure I understood it. He knows what he's talking about and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest him to someone who needed help in Visual Basic!

James R. made me feel confident of his abilities at the very start of the session. I am so happy I found a tutor of his quality and dedication. He was prepared and very attentive to my needs as a student.
- Keesha R. from Springfield, IL
James was patient. He explained the lesson and concept clear with a few homework examples. I felt confident to attempt to complete the homework assignment whereas before I had some serious concerns to do the assignment correctly. James eased those worries and help me to realize I did understand some of the concepts and he added on more. I was building confidence and comfort in trying C# on my own Thanks to James. I appreciate his willingness to simplify coding language for beginners in C#. I'm very comfortable with his delivery.
- Tab C. from Milwaukee, WI
James has been a pleasure to work with and is an extremely knowledgeable tutor/programmer. His ability to explain programming concepts to someone new to C# has been vital to my understanding of the language. In addition to explaining C# definitions and how they interact in an application he takes the extra steps to teach how to optimize coding and application development. He is highly recommended.
- Will B. from Greensboro, NC
James is an excellent tutor. He is very patient and really helps you understand the concepts. He is willing to walk through code with you and answer any questions you may have, which is extremely helpful for beginner coders. If you want a great tutor, hire James!
