About James

Hi, I'm a certified English Language Arts teacher (7-12) with a degree in Psychology from UTSA. I've taught high school English and worked closely with students across a range of learning styles and needs. My tutoring is student-centered: I believe every learner understands the world in their own "language," and I work to translate tough concepts into something that clicks. I'm patient, encouraging, and especially strong at helping students grasp complex ideas and build confidence. I love tutoring because I live for that "aha" moment-when a student not only understands but starts to enjoy learning. Outside of teaching, I like to hike, spend time with my family, and play games (video and board games). The most important thing I can help a student do is learn to think independently and develop a love for reading.
