About James

I've always wanted to be a teacher, but I worked in high-tech instead. I've tutored many adults in how to use computers. I am very good at explaining things, and helping people to understand technical subjects. I especially enjoy working with precocious kids. One of my friend's daughters was falling behind her grade level in reading. She's a smart girl, so there's was no reason for her to be falling behind. I found that she was just bored with the reading materials. I added complexity to her assignments by having her read with more expression, or with an accent, or theatrically. This added level of difficulty made the readings fun and interesting to her. Once she was engaged with her home work, by being asked to perform the texts, her "reading difficulties" disappeared. Note: I'm a part-time pro photographer, and I especially enjoy teaching people (young or old) about all aspects of photography.
