Hi, I'm James. I am a math and data science student at Knox College, where I have spent more than a year tutoring statistics and introductory math courses. I also have experience working with younger students as a camp counselor, working with kids from 7 to 16 to help them develop into driven, self-sufficient young people. My passion for tutoring comes from a desire to help students build confidence in their skills and develop a genuine understanding of concepts, especially in math.
My approach is all about meeting students where they are. I like to start by figuring out what they already know and understand, then use that as a foundation to strengthen areas where they feel less confident. I like to use simple examples similar to the problems they find challenging and work them through them step by step before giving them an opportunity to try on their own.
I am a tutor, who is patient, approachable, and dedicated to your success. If this is what you are looking for, I'd love to help.
