Math Perfect with Courtney James


Recommended Posts

I am agonizing over what to do with my son for Algebra next school year. I am leaning toward letting somebody else do the teaching. My son is good with math, and I am mediocre....I feel like I have been holding him back. But I don't want to be involved, if I outsource it. I don't want to grade his homework etc.....

So in my search I stumbled upon Math Perfect with Courtney James http://www.mathperfect.net/Pages/default.aspx

His name comes up from time to time (on Davidson website), I know that he works with many brilliant kids via private lessons. However, I was not aware that he also teaches group internet classes. I talked to him, and it sounds very good. He even offered to do a free consultation with my son, so they spend an hour talking about math. Needless to say, after that hour my kid bubbled with excitement for math (something I am not able to restore on my own).

Anyway, I am really impressed, among other things with the class size (5-10 kids).

 

Do any of you have any more experience with Courtney James or know of people that worked with him? I would like to have more information before we commit.

I am all ears :-)

Thanks

Veronika

I've heard two extreme sides...although both agree that he does a great job during the lesson itself, they disagree on how to keep track of what Courtney teaches because it can be all over the map. It could be because one mom was more relaxed than the other.

 

My brief experience was that his fee was higher than what I was able to pay for a private lesson but he sounded really nice on the phone.

Yes, the private lesson fee is out of our reach as well. The group lessons seem doable. I was intrigued that the class size is so small (5-10), for main focus problem solving weaved through all the math and access to the teacher 24/7 via email (for questions and such). Plus parent is not required to do anything, except support the kiddos ;-)

Sounds good. Anybody else?

We just started with the private tutoring with him. But feel like the fee is on the higher end for what my child learns..any thoughts/
