HERE'S WHAT SOME OF MY STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT ME:
[Please note: All testimonials have been edited for grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.]

"I could never have imagined I would find such an enthusiastic, interesting, and wise person when I first contacted James. Meeting James has been a powerful experience for me, both in terms of my English and my life. He has been the most dedicated, patient, and efficient English teacher I have ever had. After two classes in Cambridge, we have continued on Skype. Never before have I improved so much in terms of conversation skills and in the understanding of the English language in all its aspects. With new techniques and different teaching approaches, he has found a way to engage me in the learning process and to make me desire and love every moment I spend surrounded by English.

"This is not about spending hours in front of boring and inanimate books anymore and has become a complete, fun, and more intuitive process, in which we focus on those weaker aspects of my current knowledge as they come up. The teaching has been individualized based on the different aspects I lack. Besides that, learning doesn't finish every time James' face fades away on my computer screen at the end of our Skype classes. James sends interesting and well-structured materials for me to work with at home and has given me pieces of advice regarding different activities related to English that have helped me to improve at my own speed. Our classes are definitely worth every dollar I pay for them."
-- Pablo, Spain

"I had learned English for a long time before I met James, but I could not make a real leap in speaking English. I would strongly recommend James to those of you who seriously want to improve your English. In the time I have been working with him, first with classes in Cambridge and now from South Korea on Skype, my English skills have definitely improved. He helps his students in so many different ways and provides continual support that goes beyond the classroom. After I started working with James soon after I arrived in the U.S., he began to show me effective ways to advance my English to higher and higher levels. He also closely guided me. He is not an ordinary teacher, and his class is not just about learning grammar and expressions. His teaching methods are customized and have evolved depending on my progress. He has further helped me cultivate more natural American rhythms and accents, which no other teachers could do in the past. If you choose James, you will have a great teacher and maybe even a trusted friend at the same time!"
-- Hessung, South Korea

“I learned aspects of English that I would never have learned if I had not taken James' classes. For example, I learned grammar, vocabulary, and fluency expressions that I had not heard before. There were other things like this that James carefully explained that would not have been possible for me to pick up listening to other people speak. As a result, I am better able to understand people now because of the new stuff I've learned, particularly the pronunciation work. I can also find the words more easily and speak with more confidence. For instance, now I am not afraid to pick up the phone because I know what to say, and I have no problems understanding the other person. The results were worth the price, as I can see the difference in working with a teacher with James' experience. It was like nothing I had experienced before in my English learning experiences.”
-- Gabriel, France

"I asked James a thousand questions, and I got all of them answered and clarified. I encourage people to take his courses because he knows whatever he does, why he does it, and what it is for. It doesn't matter how crazy it seems to be. He's got this ability from his knowledge of other languages, and that makes everything easier for students to learn and enjoy. Also, his passion for teaching gives a friendly environment to his classroom."
-- Daniel, Colombia

"I sincerely recommend James, a wonderful teacher not only in English but also in life guidance, to all who seek to improve English skills and/or who are eager to understand American culture and history. James has incredible cultural sensitivity and intellectual diversity as well as a passion for and patience in teaching. I have benefited tremendously from James in accent reduction, speaking/listening comprehension, and presentation skills (just to name three areas) since we started classes a while back. I have heartfelt gratitude to James for his continuing energy in teaching and for guiding me in many aspects, levels, and stages of life."
-- Ching-Fu, Taiwan

"Working with James was the best investment I made while I was in Boston for a year. When I arrived, I had a lot of problems speaking English. I also had major problems with pronunciation and grammar. When I started working with James, he immediately began to help me to prioritize my learning process. He also challenged me in the right way to reach my very high goals. I felt that James helped me every second I was with him, and even when I was not in private class with him! When I had to prepare for presentations for my professional work, James gave me very valuable tips that made a big difference. He has a lot of experience in public speaking. Definitively, I can say that I got a big return on my investment. Now that I am back in Spain, I still work with James -- on Skype!"
-- Ignacio, Spain

"I worked with James over a long period of time, and I benefited greatly from his extensive skills and experience in improving both the content and the delivery of my presentations to other executives and to my employees. In the process, I learned many useful idioms, vocabulary words, and fluency phrases that were very helpful in business and life situations. James showed a great willingness and ability to adjust to and to meet my individual needs both in terms of English (including my pronunciation) and the cultural challenges that I faced every day. He helped me a lot!"
-- Franck, France

"James taught me how to study on my own. His advice, techniques, and class activities have improved my skills to a considerable degree. I have learned all kinds of idioms and vocabulary while improving my speaking, comprehension, and pronunciation. James is like a doctor. He always knows what his students need. He makes people happy because he spreads so much positive energy around the classroom. As a teacher myself, he is an important example for me -- the natural, inspiring, and successful teacher that you read about in books and that you want to be yourself. You can't imagine how precious it is to have a teacher like him."
-- Erica, Brazil

"James made a lot of effort to help me improve my English, especially pronunciation, intonation, and the rhythm of English that I had been struggling with for such a long time in learning English. Thanks to James, I really started to feel the way of speaking English. He was the absolute perfect teacher for me."
-- Min Yung, South Korea

"James is an extraordinary teacher, providing a professional teaching approach combined with a fun working atmosphere. He easily identified my weak spots and came up with an individual approach to address these issues and resolve them. He is very motivating, encouraging, creative, highly skilled, and energetic, offering not only English lessons but learning for life as well. I enjoyed this holistic approach, benefiting from a unique teaching material data base which he created all by himself and which is still available to me now, even after I have finished classes. He is simply a great teacher, which you need to experience for yourself. Words can't explain."
-- Jürgen, Germany
