Testimonial:
“Speaking publicly was always my greatest fear until I had an opportunity to be coached by James. In just 5 one-hour lessons, my fear of public speaking was eliminated. James was able to convey that my fear of public speaking was irrational, and with several key preparation techniques I would be able to overcome this lifelong challenge. All true! Thanks James!”

Joy M. from Riverside, CT We can tell that James is very passionate about teaching. He has helped my son with writing and my son is excited about knowing that he will improve. My son's attitude about the sessions has been positive which is a huge hurdle. We look forward to seeing the improvement in my son's writing after he continues to work with James.

Siobhan Z. from Mount Kisco, NY My daughter was changing schools. She had French from 2-4th grade, then Mandarin for 5th and 6th. She was transferring to a school that did not offer Mandarin and she decided to go back to French since she had enjoyed it before. My daughter has an ear for language; however, I thought that she would potentially be a year behind in middle school French since she had not had French in 2 years, and it was important to us that she enter the 7th grade going into 7th grade French. We set up a tutoring session with James. James arrived promptly and worked from the text book that we had borrowed from the school district. He was friendly, pleasant and flexible. He was an effective and competent tutor. We booked him for an hour and he was able to stay longer as it turned out that my daughter had the stamina for up to three hours of French tutoring at a time. We thought James was perfect for the job. My daughter made it into 7th grade French and will probably be in honors French next year. The teacher said that my daughter was more technically advanced than her other students since the teacher had spent 6th grade more on an intro/conversational class. We highly recommend James.

Elena A. from Ridgefield, CT James gave my son very good lessons on focusing and formulating ideas before starting to write. Something that seemed impossible is now possible with his writing techniques. Very reliable and flexible teacher.

Jennifer W. from Scarsdale, NY James is a wonderful, fun tutor. My two boys have been working with James on their public speaking and general etiquette. James was very patient with them and taught in a way that really sparked their interest. He rehearsed different situations and introductions with them and gave them tips on handshakes, eye contact, posture and conversation. He also gave them great tips on making presentations at school and different relaxation techniques. They both enjoyed their lesson with James very much. James' passion for what he teaches really shows and the kids loved that.

Yung C. from Elmsford, NY My 5.5 year old daughter had an hour session with James today and she really enjoyed it. James was very patient and kept encouraging her all the time. He has his way to let my daughter stay focused and also feel relax enough to do what he taught. Most importantly, she was having fun and learning things at the same time. I saw my daughter learning many new acting skills in one hour. Even though James said that he had no experience of teaching acting with young kids around my daughter's age (I like his honesty), I think he is doing a great job. Because of his past experience in the theater industry, he is able to see what kids need to improve with their acting skills. Good job and thanks, James!
