Highly rated tutor.
James is an exceptional and bright tutor. He has been tutoring our son for several months. James was hired for SSAT preparation, but due to the high quality of the lessons, we had to increase the number of sessions per week. He and our son now discuss about reading, writing and beyond, as James wisely incorporates other subjects such as social sciences and humanities. James is very enthusiastic and engaging. James has taught our son how to excel and become a good communicator and a global thinker! Our son (12 years old) also wrote a review, which we share: “Trust me, this guy is great! When I was first scrolling through Wyzant, I didn’t know whether I would find good teachers or not, but this is surely an excellent one! I highly recommend this tutor, as he is a great example for kids of all ages. Enrolled in this tutor’s sessions, you will feel like you are in a safe environment, one where you can enthusiastically share each other’s ideas and thoughts; he doesn’t make you feel like he is a strict teacher, but he makes you feel like both the student and the teacher are leaders and that both deserve to be listened to. Most importantly, you can focus on grammar, reading, writing, or anything else that he is pleased to teach you about; and as a student who has been working with him for over half a year, please believe me, you will learn a large amount of things that will serve you in the near future! I am grateful to have him as my English tutor, and I am sure you will be too once you get in contact with him! You can’t go wrong with this tutor!”

Great Teacher
My son, a high school sophomore , needed work on his writing skills, primarily for improving his grads. Our experience with James for my son has been nothing short of exceptional. His personalized approach to teaching has truly made a difference in my son's understanding and appreciation of the language. With patience and enthusiasm, James has effectively tailored lessons to address my son's specific learning needs, resulting in noticeable improvement in both his comprehension and confidence. Beyond just academic support, he has also served as a mentor, instilling in my son a genuine love for learning. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact and I highly recommend him to any parent seeking quality English tutoring for their child.

Experienced Tutor with Patience
I have two sons that take English writing, grammar, vocabulary and SAT prep lessons with James. My sons say he is very patient and knowledgeable. James is very involved in the lessons and creates lesson plans that stimulate their learning. They often receive homework after their lessons, but the boys never complain about it.

Latin tutor
The best Latin tutor my son ever had. James was able to make my son enjoy and learn Latin, something he did not have prior. Thanks James! We will continue using him through our the year and for Latin II.

Amazing teacher and Helpful
In my 2 classes we have covered a lot. We have gone over future tense as well as a few others. And we went over a story utilizing all 5 declensions. The pace is good and the content is good as well.

Knowledgeable and dynamic tutor
James P. helped my son to prepare for the verbal part of the ISEE test upper level. From the beginning he showed my son a fun and dynamic way to learn the vocabulary, helped with the essay and even gave him tips for good focus during the test. He surpassed our expectations for a remote tutor. He kept my son engaged at all times and worked personalized with his weaknesses. Totally recommended. Great professional.
