Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Taylor is a mathematical physicist turned educator and longtime staff member at a curriculum-free Sudbury school in Baltimore, bringing 14 years of experience melding rigorous math training with learner-driven practice. He holds a PhD in Mathematics/Quantum Physics and has designed and delivered extensive online coursework for Johns Hopkins and CTY, including ~30 hours of video and hundreds of pages of materials for graduate prerequisites and honors K–12 classes. Comfortable wearing many hats, he combines program management, course migration, and hands-on instruction with a self-styled "cowboy programmer" approach to problem solving. An evangelist for alternative education and an aspiring writer, he blends deep technical rigor with a commitment to student autonomy and practical tooling for teaching.
