Math doesn't have to be hard.
I'm James. I prep students for the SAT, ACT, and PSAT, and tutor math one-on-one from pre-algebra through calculus. In person in Sarasota, Florida and online anywhere.
SAT, ACT, and PSAT prep
Built around your target schools, your timeline, and the sections with the most points still on the table.
AP courses
Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, and Precalculus, kept ahead of the syllabus instead of chasing it.
One-on-one tutoring
Pre-algebra through calculus, matched to your class, your teacher, and what's actually due this week.
Some people tolerate math. I've always been drawn to it.
I still seek out hard puzzles in my spare time for the satisfaction of cracking them. In high school, classmates started coming to me before tests, and I found out how much I enjoy breaking a confusing concept into steps and watching someone who was stuck suddenly get it.
I scored a 36 on ACT Math and a 790 on SAT Math, then went to Cornell University for a B.S. in Statistics. As a teaching assistant for Calculus I and Statistics I, I ran weekly discussion sections for students who needed the material to make sense rather than just be covered.
Every student processes math differently. Some need a diagram before a formula means anything. Some want to grind through problems until the pattern clicks. Some need the why before they'll trust the how. I figure out which one you are in the first session or two, and I keep things low-pressure, conversational, and focused on what you're actually stuck on.
What I cover
Most students need to go back before they can move forward. Others are working ahead of their class. Either way, we start from where you actually are.

How sessions work

Get in touch
Tell me the class, the grade or score you want, or the test date you're staring down. No charge, no commitment. Pick a time for a free 15-minute intro meeting, or send me a message.
-
A starting point
You decide how much to book: one session at a time, or as a package over multiple days. If you're not sure how much you need, tell me what you're working with and I'll suggest something.
-
The work
Single sessions are booked and paid at the same time, which reserves your spot. Packages are invoiced up front, and we set those times together from there. Reschedule for free with 24 hours' notice. Availability is 7 days a week with flexible hours.
Online
Live over Zoom with a shared whiteboard, from anywhere.
In-person
In Sarasota, Florida.
What it costs
Single sessions are $60 an hour, online or in person. Booking hours as a package brings that down.
- 4 hours $219 Saves $21 against the hourly rate
- 8 hours $419 Saves $61
- 12 hours $619 Saves $101
Other package sizes are available on request.
Start with a single session and upgrade afterward if you like. What you paid comes off the package price, so the total is the same either way. Available after your first session only.
We work out session length and frequency together, whether that's a standing weekly slot or session by session.
Tell me what you're working on.
