Physics (and math) are fun, really

Unlike many of the tutors that appear on this site, I an not a professional teacher. I have, however, been a tutor for many years. I got my start, quite by accident, while a physics teaching assistant at the University of California. My job was to teach a freshman physics lab course. Most of the students were able to do the lab work but had problems using calculus to do their physics and math homework. One student nailed the issue as similar to taking a french literature course while trying ...

In 1 hour, Jim was able to explain some problems with my son and he understood. His school teacher took all week and he still did not understand. I wish Jim was my son's school teacher.

Jim provided tutoring for Physics to us. He is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. He covered the topics we asked for and clarified many concepts, such as vectors and kinematics. We will use Jim's services again when needed.


Selma M. from Fairport, NY

I worked with Jim for about two months, he helped me relearn math skills. Jim was patient, flexible and very communicative. He explained concepts in a way that made them much easier to understand. I would highly recommend Jim as a tutor - he's a pro and really knows his stuff. It is evident that he has years of experience and success helping students reach their testing goals. Thanks Jim!


Kia S. from Rochester, NY

Was able to help me with a problem that three other people, could not. Is very patient, diligent in his math and explains things well. Flexible with time and works with your schedule.

Jim was a great person and a fantastic tutor. I was a neuroscience major at the University of Rochester and needed to get through Physics E&M. It was an incredibly tough course and I was worried about passing it, an experience I hadn't faced before. Jim contacted me immediately, had a flexible schedule, and was a great teacher. He not only came with his own materials everyday to help make things clearer, but explained topics in a straightforward and concise manner. He even took the time to help me with the calculus that I had trouble with. He is very thorough, and thanks to him I not only passed, but did very well. I would recommend Jim to anyone. I am very thankful to Jim for all his help. Best tutor I could've asked for!

Jim S. is a knowledgeable and friendly physics tutor, who gave me individualized help in preparation for a physics test the following day. He agreed to meet with me at a public location on very short notice. Jim showed patience and understanding during our tutor session. I would highly recommend him!


Steve W. from Rochester, NY

The subject matter I needed help with is applied math. Most tutors had turned me away for this reason, but Jim at least gave it a shot. He was well prepared and ready to go. I got a lot more out of our session that I expected, I would highly recommended Jim to anyone needing help. He even called me after the lesson to tell me more info. I will definitely use him in the future.


Zwelonke S. from Pittsford, NY

I found Jim to be knowledge driven. He knows his stuff and is always ready to share his reservoirs of experience. He has a passion for teaching and goes well out of his way to help with advice and materials.

I attended the Division of Adult Professional Studies at Roberts Wesleyan College. There, I enrolled in the Organizational Management(OM) Program which is a accelerated, adult, degree – completion program. The course work for the OM program consisted of a Statistical Methods and Research module. Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data. Statistics is useful in research, and I was required to use it to help me communicate the results of my research experiments. Statistics could be seen as a very hard subject and I knew I needed a tutor in order to interpret the data that I would be collecting. I also knew that I needed a tutor to help me understand specific statistical information and apply it with the use of Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets. Jim S. showed me the methods for defining, researching, analyzing, and evaluating my research problem that was significant in my professional career. Jim S. helped me identify and measure objectives, collect data, analyze variance, and construct questionnaires. I was able to use the information that I collected to support management theories and validate facts. Jim S. was able to explain statistics to me in simple English using concrete examples. Jim S. helped me to interpret my statistical output and formulate conclusions. Jim S. also helped me in preparing tables and graphs for my report. I tackled this difficult subject with ease and received an A in the course. Thanks Jim


La'Shasha B. from Rochester, NY

Jim S was willing to work with me on short notice; we met in a public place so that we would both be comfortable. He's very easy to talk to and not afraid to tell you if he doesn't understand whats being asked; that shows me that he's very patient and wants to make sure that we're both on the same page when learning. I like that cause that's being honest with himself and the student. I will call Jim again if i need help and recommend him to others. Thanks Jim!


Judy S. from Webster, NY

With his firm, quiet way and sense of humor, Jim guided our shy, ADD son to pass his Calculus final with flying colors. Jim really understands Calculus and how to get the material across. He immediately responded to phone, text, or emails. My only regret is that we did not seek Jim's help sooner, as this would have increased our son's year-long comprehension and grades.


Daisy U. from Rochester, NY

Statistics. He explains with a lot of detail. Good. He is always there when you need him. Thanks Jim. Sure I will recommend to my friends.


John C. from Fairport, NY

Jim's tutoring service was very helpful to my son. We found Jim to be knowledgeable, patient and personable. He has a flexible schedule. His service is highly recommended for anyone needing a tutor. My son and I give him an enthusiastic five star rating.


Vivian F. from Pittsford, NY

Jim helped my daughter with physics and math. He extended some time to finish my daughter's questions. I real appreciate it.


Asma A. from Rochester, NY

I had a tutoring session with Jim where we discussed basic statistics concepts. He was a very patient tutor and answered all my questions. He even provided a deep explanations and some proofs for Least Squares equations to clarify and connect points together. I would absolutely recommend him to any one who needs assistance in statistics.
