Math with Dr. James G.

Hello Parent: I work in the DC metro area, at school, or your home. I have worked in my office as a child psychologist, and in many home in DC and Maryland as a tutor. I am licensed in Florida as a teacher in the above subjects. I tutor/teach both online, (by computers) and in homes/schools. I worked for Child Development Center, (US Military) and have a background clearance for children. I would be happy to tutor your son at your home or the nearby library. My method of teaching is called “student center”. As you might know, this method looks at what the student needs now to do well in the course, and not how a tutor might teach the same way for all his/her students. Sometimes, I have found that students have some opposition to math. Many times they are quite bright students, but the math subject is just not present to them in a method that works best for them. Having been a teacher and a psychologist, I use different teaching methods to communicate the lessons. This seems to work. I believe I can make it work for your child. My background as a psychologist working with the school system does help to understand students general attitude toward certain school subjects. I adjust my teaching methods with each student I tutor. This helps me do a better job at teaching your child and the students feel that they are getting the information they need for their classes to be successful in the courses. I have been teaching and tutoring students from preschool to Graduate school for more than 20 years. I am retired military and US government. I taught at more than over 5 universities and many elementary, middle, and high school. I was also a child psychologist in the DC metro area for many years. I have a Ph.D., MBA, MS, and BS from University of California, Berkeley. I taught also in Germany with UMUC (Maryland) and many places in China (6 Years) and Africa. I taught at the child development center, (CDC) for the military. The areas I do most tutoring in are math, business, engineering, science, physics, English. I have a TEFL, (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate from England. I taught in China, preschool, middle and High school. Boland T.E.F.L. Diploma - International T.E.F.L Diploma. The Boland School T.E.F.L Diploma program is geared towards preparing native speakers of English who would like to teach English as a foreign language. I would be happy to answer any additional questions. Dr. James T G., Ph.D., M.B.A. M.S. B.S.E.E.,
