Patient and professional

Was able to keep the attention of our special needs nephew and made the English lesson very interactive. James being bilingual was key in being able to explain things and he started with the basics. Also helped explain to us where our nephew is at along with some recommendations as to how to help him learn better. Would highly recommend James.
