Currently, I teach high school math at Bellevue Christian School. I tutor mathematics from 7th grade through high school calculus. My past successes include helping a student who had a D in geometry raise his grade to an A. I strike a balance between pushing the student to meet his academic goals and enjoying the learning process. I want the student to experience academic success while maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I also specialize in helping gifted students discover their passion and potential. For example, I tutored an extremely talented 8th grade student in statistics and financial theory. Together, we worked through a statistical computing software and enjoying fun projects including predicting basketball game outcomes. I recently graduated with my Masters in Teaching from Seattle Pacific University. I live in downtown Kirkland.

Jim is currently tutoring my 15 year old son in Algebra 2. We have been extremely pleased with the tutoring -- Jim is conscientious, flexible, and knowledgeable. He will stay late to make sure our son is understanding the material and prepared for exams. Our son's success is his priority. I highly recommend Jim as a tutor.
