About James

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in Biomedical Engineering with emphases in neural engineering and synthetic biology. Before I became a tutor with High Performance Tutoring, I could often be found in study groups or office hours helping other students with subjects ranging from biology and chemistry to engineering to language courses. I scored highly on the ACT and SAT, and I've prepared friends and family for taking the tests through helpful test-taking strategies. I've always enjoyed learning and applying my knowledge, and I like to help others positively experience something I love. When tutoring, I prefer to let students lead with what they already know, so we can build on that knowledge and help them be successful. I think it's important to help students realize how much they do know before tackling the unknown, so they can have some confidence in moving forward. I tend to teach with my hands a lot, and I like to use mnemonics and memory devices to help students grasp new concepts.
