About James
My passion for coaching started in college when a classmate insisted on paying me after I helped her pass economics statistics. Years later, I tutored my own four children for their ACT and SAT exams. Each achieved an average score increase of 33%—and my son earned a full-ride college scholarship as a direct result!
Word of his success spread quickly to his soccer team. After happily coaching his entire team to higher scores, I chose to volunteer at a prominent national learning center (like Huntington and Sylvan), where I became nationally certified and professionally trained.
Today, I have successfully coached over 1,000 students—ranging from heavily struggling learners to high school valedictorians. I personally achieved a perfect 36 on the ACT, a 1570 on the SAT, and maintained a 4.0 High School / 3.9 College GPA.
Like sports, music, or any high-stakes discipline, crushing these standardized exams requires specialized coaching. Every student is capable of mastering these subjects when paired with the right experience, strategy, and a truly caring coach. I look forward to guiding your student on their journey to their dream college!

James was a huge help—flexible, easy to work with, and gave feedback that really improved my writing. My mom originally gave a 4-star review, but after working with him it’s easily 5 stars. Highly recommend.
Not only was he an excellent tutor but he also gave us valuable insight into how the cybersecurity certificate system works. Highly recommend!
I found James after interviewing multiple tutors for my sons—one a high school senior, the other a college freshman—and he immediately stood out. Not only is James knowledgeable across multiple subjects, but he also genuinely cares about his students. Hiring James turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
My younger son attended a boarding sports academy and needed ACT prep. James was incredibly flexible, finding time within my son's packed schedule and managing to fit in numerous sessions. Throughout this intense and challenging process, James remained consistently positive, patient, and encouraging.
My older son, a college freshman, faces his own set of challenges, including fairly profound ADHD. James supported him not only with academic subjects but also with organizational skills. James checked in weekly to help plan out his schedule, stay on track, and remain accountable. He built a strong rapport with both of my sons and developed personalized, thoughtful plans tailored to each of their needs. The Personal Professor's Academic Partner Program was critical to my sons' continued success.
In the end, both of my sons benefited greatly from James’ mentorship and made tremendous academic progress. Furthermore, both of them are eager to continue working with James next year—a true testament to his effectiveness as both a tutor and a mentor.Hands down the best tutor! Highly recommend if you are looking to take your azvab test or any test similar to!

I highly recommend James because of his systematic, disciplined, yet fun methods. He is patient, listens, and really tries to understand how to help ME improve. I moved my SAT score from a 1210 to a 1520-1570 in 3 months and with him, I was able to get a full tuition scholarship! He even makes good jokes too! :)
Thanks, JamesJames helped me raise my ACT score by enough points which qualified me for the Bright Scholarship! I saved 75% on tuition! He is very patient and really understands how to teach the material well. He’s the tutor you want!
Very knowledgeable and personable! Helped me substantially with my SAT scores.
This gentleman is a true expert! If you’re looking for someone who know their work he will give you moneys worth and more he’s very patient. Darrell pours his heart into what he does a nose XL on the advanced level as well as the VBA excel! He’s a true professional I will go to extra mile! He’s the BEST at what he does! He’s goo!! Hire him now!
Mr. Fermin was an outstanding ACT/SAT tutor. He boosted my overall score by 5 points. He's great at individualizing his curriculum to fit the needs of his students. He also teaches strategies for the ACT and SAT that are very useful. Overall, he does a wonderful job of giving his students an extra confidence boost for the test (and you might learn a few card tricks as well). Mr. Fermin is such a great teacher, and the test results show it.
James helped me with my homework assignment in my budgeting class that was worth one sixth of my grade. I not only got 100% on it after working with him for three hours but I retained the information I learned related to calculating tax rate elasticity. I can do the work on my own. James was great help--this was my first class using Excel formulas, which was a big adjustment. My final grade at the end of the quarter was a high "A." I recommend working with James because he listens and he wants you to understand the material--not just turn in an assignment.
Many things! The Professor was extremely knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely kind, patient and personable. He was able to quickly develop a rapport with my son who happens to have ADD and disliked/avoided schoolwork/studying. The Professor was able to gain his interest/attention and kept him engaged. He quickly determined the best teaching methods for my son and developed a personalized plan for getting us to our goal. I particularly appreciated his flexibility and the frequent/detailed communication. My son actually ended up enjoying, and appreciating his time doing geometry when with The Professor. We definitely will keep him on speed-dial as my son enters his Junior year of high school. Thank you Professor!!!!!!
James was extremely thorough and detailed with my son Michael. He tailored his lessons to the specific areas of need and always kept things relevant and useful. James brought a positive attitude and pleasant demeanor to all his interactions throughout the entire process and was an absolute delight to work with. I would highly recommend James for anyone looking to improve on their academics!!
An amazing tutor! Always going the extra mile for my student. Well worth our investment!
The Personal Professor and his team were perfect for my daughter. She actually said she looked forward to her sessions because the tutors would make learning fun and enjoyable. Through their approach, my daughter made a gain of 300 points on her SAT and has earned multiple scholarships as a result! Over $10,000! Thank you so much, James! I'm recommending you to everyone who needs tutoring for any topic! You're the best tutor we have ever worked with!
The professor is helping my daughter improve in math. He is patient, very professional, and we are very happy to have him because he has helped my daughter. I would totally recommend him!
The Professor's tutoring program really helped me do better with my writing and preparing for taking the SAT. We did both in-person and online sessions. Every session I felt like I learned a lot. His team is great. Shout out to Michelle also!
Jim helped me with Science, English, and my History classes. I actually improved my grade because of him. He helps me “get” the topic rather just makes me memorize stuff. Best tutor I’ve ever worked with. And, I’ve worked with a lot!
