"Hi, I'm Jim. I'm a 7th-grade math teacher in Pennsylvania. I love tutoring and teaching, especially when we make those key breakthroughs in understanding and knowledge. I'm also certified in social studies and am available to tutor anyone looking to take PRAXIS middle school or social studies exams as well. I have a B.A. in social science as well as an M.B.A. and an M.Ed. I am in love with learning, and I stress real-world applicability and examples when teaching math.

Before teaching, I was a proofreader, editor, and writer for more than a decade in the business world, and I have plenty of experience writing thanks to my undergrad and graduate program experiences. I play video games and read comic books (still), and I always try to connect on a personal level with my students to make the whole experience more engaging." less...
