My undergraduate degree was in music. I have studied music since I was six years old. I have taught music privately since 1984. I have regularly required my music students to complete music theory assignments. I have teach a variety of instruments including piano, vocals, strings, brass, etc.

I have been a teacher for several years. I love to teach. I have taught math (all levels), sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), music (each one of my children plays at least three instruments each).

I help as a writing coach for book reports and research projects. I speak publicly to groups of people on how their life can change in order to affect family change whereby their community will be changed.

My goal as a teacher is to help you to discover how to solve your questions. You will discover there are usually a variety of ways to find a solution. We will utilize your textbook and class notes as well as alternate ways of finding solutions. I may assign homework after each session.

I have always enjoyed math. Numbers just makes sense to me....but not everyone. I will help you find what will make the numbers work for you.

I enjoy people of other cultures. I have a limited understanding of Spanish. I have studied other languages from a musical standpoint (translation in order to sing). I have helped teach children as they began to read. I have compassion for those not understanding the English language and desire to help them learn English in order to better assimilate into our community.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover answers to problems in life.

Patient and fun teacher!

My 6 year old beginner piano student takes lessons with James and he's a really great teacher! He keeps the lessons fun and engaging, which is hard to do when you're teaching a young child virtually! She is making a ton of progress she she always looks forward to her piano lesson days. I'm glad that she can get lessons from someone with such an in depth musical education for such a reasonably rate. I was skeptical about online music lessons but my daughter is learning faster than she did with her in person lessons with her previous teacher.

Awesome Tutor

Helping the kids in step by step manner by making them understand and helping them in practicing. Kids love it. Awesome skills to make the kids engaged through out the session.

Manohar, 26 lessons with James

Easy to work with

Learned chords and inversions. He opened my eyes to new ways to play chords. He is patient and concerned with my progress. He took time to know what I already knew about music. I play guitar too. It makes it easier to learn faster.

James brings patience and calmness to the sometimes chaotic nature of knowledge

James provided a brief intro to music theory. He was prepared with experience in the platform. He understood that I was stressed and kept a calm mood. I learned a lot and will continue to learn.

My daughter enjoys lessons with Mr. James

Great piano teacher. My daughter enjoyed her last two lessons with Mr.James online. Initially, I was a little skeptical about the online piano lesson but it works well.

James W is a very patient and detail oriented tutor. He is very knowledgeable about math and encourages those that he is tutoring to believe that they can be also. James W is great. He helped our son prep for a math exam. Our son received his first A on a math test!!
