About James

My name is James, I am a seasoned Standardized Test tutor. I currently work as an instructor in several tutoring centers in NYC for the SAT/ACT Test as well as the GRE and GMAT.

I graduated from Columbia University with my master degree. I scored in the 90th percentile on the GRE Math section (780/800) and 98th percentile on the new Redesigned SAT Math Session (800/800). I was on deans list and Admiral's for every semester during my undergraduate study and had obtained an overall GPA index of 3.75 for all my math class (Straight As).

Math skills are the future proof skills. Through my teaching, I realized how to adjust my teaching style and benefit the students the most, Math can be fun and interesting and can also inspire many future engineers and scientists. I have help many students to get into their dream schools such as NYU, Cooper Union, Pennsylvania State University and much more.

In the past, I tutored for 4 years in Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry during my undergraduate years of study. And for 3 years, I tutored in China. I helped students prepare for the TOEFL and IELTS exams before I started taking classes at Columbia University, where I earned my Master's degree.

I can tutor effectively to students who wish to prepare for the SAT/ACT, SHSAT, GRE and GMAT exams with regards to the Quantitative Sections. I enjoy working with students who need help with SAT and ACT math sections. Besides the standardized tests, I also help students with Algebra, Science, Probability and Statistics related subjects.

Over the last 10 years, I have been able to help over a hundred students to achieve significant improvements in their Standardized Test and get into their dream schools. I believe you can do the same as well, people’s potential is unlimited and you just need the right guidance to ignite that.

I recently graduated from Columbia University in the city of New York with a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics. I also stay up to date with the changes in admissions policies through the frequent visit of schools and education consulting agency.
