Hello! I'm James Robotham, I've been teaching and tutoring for over three years now. The reason I teach is that there's nothing I enjoy more than helping YOU feel more confident with your studies, so you can go out and rock your classes and feel prepared. Let's get started.

I'm currently a second year medical student at New York Medical College. I spent the last 4 years doing synthetic biology research at NASA Ames Research Center out in California. I graduated from Stanford University with both a bachelors and masters degrees in biology.

In college I worked as a teaching assistant in the...

In my free time,...

...can be - I went through it myself! Proper tutoring can help a student gain not only improved skills in the classroom but a better sense of their own preferred learning methods. Whether it is with real-life examples or countless practice problems (or both!), I am willing to spend as much time as needed with my students to ensure they reach their full potential during our sessions. While I am not tutoring, I spend my...

...it works, and thus I stress understanding underlying concepts in tutoring. I always look to relate to the students that I tutor to not only become their friend but also to better understand their way of thinking and thus how it is easiest for them to break down difficult subjects into simple concepts. Through this method, I've found that anyone can understand even the most difficult concepts, and as such, I truly do believe that...
