James D.
Private tutor in Oakland, CA
Education
I graduated SFSU with BS in Biology with a concentration in Physiology and a minor in Philosophy in Fall of 2015!
Experience
I have over 9 years of tutoring experience in math, science, and SAT. I have worked at The Princeton Review, The Lafayette Academy, and Compass over the years helping students achieve higher SAT scores, often increasing scores by hundreds of points. Most recently, I began working with a student who was struggling dramatically starting her year in geometry 2 1/2 years ago. After working with her, she aced geometry and subsequently algebra 2, and her teacher recommended her for honors pre-calculus. Now she's in honors pre-calculus and is still a pleasure to work with.

Hobbies
I am very interested in math, especially from a functional perspective. As a result, I teach math very differently from traditional teachers and all of my students have enjoyed my method and performed much better with it. I also love video games, and coding is a hobby of mine.
