M E Tutoring

After two dismal attempts at tutors I found James. With the other tutors I was frustrated with how much I had to direct the tutoring session. They would answer specific questions I had but wouldn’t really go beyond that.
What stood out most about James was his deep understanding of not only Economics but what the professor would be looking for and testing on. He really could take you as far down the rabbit hole as you wanted to go. Sometimes I’d just be cramming for a test and he’d tailor the session to be more of bullet points as well as smoothing out the rough edges. If we had more time he’d fully explain the concepts. You can really tell that he’s an educator and ultimately wants you to understand & retain the info and not just put it into short term memory only to be lost after the test.
His teaching style is very approachable. I took my econ class after an 8 year hiatus from college. Needless-​to-​say I was rusty coming back. He took the time rehash the concepts (sometimes multiple times) and never seemed to get impatient or judgmental.
James is a good guy and I’d definitely recommend him to really any high school, college, or grad student. You can tell he really knows his stuff.

M.E. Tutoring is the only way I would have passed both Econ 122A and Econ 122B. They are very flexible with times and very affordable. If you need something last minute, they can usually help you out. They do review sessions similar to LARC twice a week and it only cost $ 200. It was pretty much about $ 12 a lesson for an hour and it was taught by somebody with a masters degree. If you need help in econometrics, Chuck is your guy.
I would highly recommend this place if you need help in ANY econ class, especially at UCI. Most of the tutors either TA’d or went to UCI, so they know the system.

I found M. E here on Unilocal and took a chance on them since there aren’t many tutors on here. The office isn’t far from my house, and I am glad I tried them out!
James was very friendly from the first day I met him. The first thing that stood out to me was that he wouldn’t allow me to cross my arms while we talked! lol He was very serious about it too. It surely got my attention.
He was very laid back, down to earth, and confident (not cocky) that he could help me reach my goal. We worked out a detailed plan for what I needed, scheduled some preliminary hours, and started work a few days later.
The thing I appreciated most about James was that he always took time to explain everything to me and never made me feel stupid for asking any kind of question. He always made a point to tell me that I was smart and point out how much I was learning, even if I wasn’t very confident in myself. He pushed me to go with my gut and to trust myself. It helped me a lot.
James made sure I always had homework to keep my mind busy with the math we were learning. He sometimes snuck in some material we hadn’t yet been over to see if I could work it out on my own. I liked that :) If I didn’t understand something, he made sure it was the first thing we went over, and kept going over, until I got it 100%. There was no half-​assing things.
I HATE MATH. I have a bad dyslexia problem, and I haven’t ever found a teacher to take their time and teach me what I needed in a way that worked with my brain. All in all I really had a good time learning with James, and I reached my goal!
I would recommend M. E Tutoring — James or any of the tutors — to anyone.
Thanks again for helping me pass my test and giving me the confidence I needed! :)

James has been working with both my kids for a year now and he has been the most successful tutor they have ever had by far. With M.E. Tutoring’s help, both my senior and junior walked away with straight A’s and no one felt better about it than the kids. James is not only knowledgeable in his subjects but he is patient and caring beyond the average tutor. He always remembered when they had an exam or a quiz and always followed up to see how they did. If they didn’t do so well, James never gave up on them and helped them to focus on their weak areas and give them the confidence to ace their next test. James will continue to work with my junior in the areas of math, economics, and sat’s and I have no doubt in my mind that he will help my son work to get accepted to the college of his choice. I would highly recommend James and M.E. Tutoring to anyone who may want to succeed in academics.

Had a great tutoring experience. Highly recommended. Helped me understand the material from class better. I am definitely going back :-)

I met James, the owner of M.E. Tutoring my last semester of college. He was by far the BEST tutor I have every worked with… He is very intelligent and is a great math and economic tutor. I was taking the last class of my Undergrad and I was no Econ or Math Major so my Econ 320 level class was very challenging. I had not taken a Calculus or Econ classes in over two years but James made me feel very confident and allowed me to succeed and get a higher grade than my peers (who were in the Masters Program or were Econ Majors). My peers looked up at me for advise and my Professor recognized my efforts. I got a B+ (I was short by a couple of points of getting an A) I wished I had met James before I took my first exam. But, I’m really glad James was there to help me out! He was very flexible and always reached out if I needed any additional help.
I will be using M.E. Tutoring services in the future when I began my Masters Program. Every penny spent was worth all the efforts!!! Highly recommended!!!
