About James
From an early age, outstanding teachers, professors, and editors taught me to be an exceptionally talented writer. I have used their invaluable guidance to become an award-winning journalist and author. In more recent years, I have returned the favor by helping students young and older to become better, more confident writers. I help them change from being passive to active readers, paying attention to the many techniques professional writers use to engage and entice their audience.
I teach my students techniques that elevate writing, such as varying sentence length and using "power words" that engage and even excite readers. I show them the importance of curiosity -- about life, about the world, about other people. And I help them understand that expanding their general knowledge base translates into deeper, more informed writing.

I have tutored students from 4 to 74. My approach is the opposite of one size fits all: I first determine a new student's skill/knowledge level and then devise an individualized plan.
I try hard to make our lessons enjoyable and even fun! Many students of all ages lack confidence, so I work hard to boost their belief in their abilities. As of September 2026, I am new to superprof.com, but my reviews on another platform, which I am happy to share, show that I am very good at establishing interpersonal relationships which take into account each student's background, personality, motivation, and skill level.
As one parent wrote: "James has been a total game-changer for our family. He’s been helping my kids in 2nd and 5th grade, and the progress we’ve seen is incredible. He started by really diving in to evaluate where they each stood individually, which made a huge difference in his approach. He focuses on expanding their general knowledge, which has given them so much more confidence in the classroom and led to a massive improvement in their overall performance."
Another mother wrote: "Our family has been incredibly grateful to work with James, who genuinely cares about my son’s well-being and development. He consistently reinforces the positive, helping my son build confidence and see his own strengths. James truly models lifelong learning, curiosity, and a growth mindset."
A young woman who I helped with her college applications wrote: "James worked with me on my college essays, and he was very helpful! He truly understands how to make you stand out to colleges. He's very knowledgeable and very talented. James takes his time to get to know you, your story, and your interests in order to best represent you in your essays."
In addition to the extremely positive reviews of my tutoring, I can share contact information for parents and students who would be happy to recommend me highly.
I charge lower rates for Zoom/Webcam tutoring than for in-person tutoring. This platform limits me to a single hourly rate, but I also take into account the financial situations of my students and/or their families. Generally, my Zoom tutoring starts at $35/hour while my in-person tutoring ranges from $50/hour. You can find tutors who charge less, but I humbly submit that you will find few tutors whose results match mine.
