I am an inquisitive student of the seemingly disparate disciplines of mathematics and music. I am currently a Pure Mathematics PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan. I also have my BM from the Crane Institute for Music Business in Music Business with a specialization in double bass and my MA in Pure Mathematics from SUNY Potsdam.

I most enjoy the process of developing a student's understanding from the foundations. All too often, teachers of math are not familiar with the fou...

James and I worked on a relatively complex concept within circuit logic that's not widely taught and, despite the concept being mostly new to both of us, James was extremely helpful in setting up the problem and talking through it in a way that resulted in solidifying my understanding and helping me come up with my own solution. James was great to talk to, was patient, and thoughtful in setting up the bounds of the problem that enabled us to work through it together. I'll definitely be reaching out again the next time I'm in need of a good computer science tutor.

James is a very patient and thoughtful tutor. We could not be more thrilled with the guidance he provides. He is also very versatile in terms of the subjects he is able to address.
- Kieran K. from Canton, GA
James simplified the issues I was having in calc 2 down to a level I could understand. He was patient and thorough during my lesson - highly recommended.
- Matt M. from Garden City, NY
Very knowledgeable about quantum mathematics and mathematics in general and is able to explain in detail in a way that will be easily understood by a beginner of the subject. Also patient in answering any follow up questions a person might have.
- Nicholas P. from Lincoln, NE
Very good explaining complex mathematical concepts in an easy to understand way. The focus was on quantum computation and density matrices and he is very knowledgeable in this area.

James helped me with my trigonometry homework. He was thorough, patient and very kind. He arrived on time and was very helpful. Sometimes in trying to explain a topic he reviewed things I knew already but that is probably just part of the process. Thank you James for your help.
- Lillian S. from Bayside, NY
James has turned out to be exceptionally well-suited to the temperament and learning style of our student. He is diligent, quick, patient, and encouraging. Our student comes away from each session feeling confident and sure-footed, especially as James helps her fill in some of the conceptual gaps in her past studies of mathematics.
- John Creighton K. from New York, NY
James helped me break down difficult calculus concept and helped me understand how to apply them, I look forward to meeting more with James to better understand the subject at hand.
- Alexis D. from Flushing, NY
James is an excellent math tutor. He knows the material and can convey it well. Our son and James are getting along well and they have made tremendous progress towards our son placing out of Advanced Geometry this fall. Thanks a bunch for your terrific help, James.
- Goetz G. from Williamstown, MA
James tutored me in College Algebra, answered my questions, and helped me get past some points I was stuck on. I feel so much more comfortable heading into my final exam.
- Tara B. from New York, NY
James is an amazing tutor! He was very patient and always had different way explaining the same problem. Sometimes I was getting frustrated with myself and he always reassured me that it's okay. I had a test on the day he tutored me and it's because of him I was able to get through the test confidently. Thank you James for all of your help. It's great to find a supportive tutor!!
- Aditya J. from Glen Oaks, NY
As I asked a dozen questions for every step, James displayed no signs of impatience. He knew every topic like the back of his hand. In addition, he gave me an encouraging background story of how he became good at math. If anyone considers using James, two thumbs up if you've just read this.
- Cemoy C. from Bronx, NY
James was amazing! Will def recommend and go back! We went through many elements of excel including some complex solutions and formulas. I feel much more comfortable in my use of excel across the board.
- Mark M. from New York, NY
James was so helpful with my College Finite Math class. I highly recommend him as he was clear and knowledgeable and explained and taught me so much in the first session!
- Hedi M. from Westport, CT
it was good start for geometry , i really need it with that kind of teacher, he give me the clear view to go with , will have another lessons in future with mr. james for geometry and MATH SAT as well
- Sherif I. from Woodside, NY
James helped me with both BC calculus and linear algebra. He was an excellent teacher in these subjects! He is extremely patient and thoughtful and explains things really well. Thank you James!
- Flavia G. from New York, NY
James is a superb tutor he breaks everything down for you. By providing you with examples, that make logical and comprehensive sense.
- Keith G. from Medford, NY
I was struggling with calculus since the start of my semester. Today was my first lesson with James and it was really helpful. In just a few hours he was able to simplify what seemed complex to me. I recommend him to anyone struggling with math. He was very patient and friendly. He was very knowledgeable of the material. Thank you so much James. You really helped me today.
- Jesse J. from Forest Hills, NY
James is a wonderful tutor. I am enrolled in an online calculus class and James has been very helpful. We meet every week for hours and he goes over all the material, explaining each concept and breaking it down into simpler terms. He's always accommodating with meetings and makes himself available for as long as you need. Since its an online class, James is not only just my tutor but also like a professor teaching me each lesson. He's very intelligent and also patient when I do not understand a rule or concept. I am very glad I found James and I plan on meeting with many more times for tutoring sessions. I recommend him for anyone taking a difficult math class. He's the best!
- Elizabeth O. from East Setauket, NY
Great! I was able to understand everything he went over with me. He takes his time and is very patient. He's also really cool and down to earth which made the lesson enjoyable!
