About James

Bio

I have been interested in technology from an early age. After completing an excellent technical education, I went on to retire from IBM Corporation, and then work for Nortel Networks. Accepted as a NY Teaching Fellow following the NYC 9/11 attacks, earned permanent certification in NYS / NYC as Math instructor and taught in Brooklyn (Park SLope) for 3 years. Since then I have been operating my own internet software and hardware business.

I have been interested in technology from an early age. After completing an excellent technical education, I went on to retire from IBM Corporation, and then work for Nortel Networks. Accepted as a NY Teaching Fellow following the NYC 9/11 attacks, earned permanent certification in NYS / NYC as Math instructor and taught in Brooklyn (Park SLope) for 3 years. Since then I have been operating my own internet software and hardware business.

Over my various careers, I have traveled to many countries, have enough knowledge of Danish and German to be comfortable travelling in those countries with minimal need to speak English for basic survival. I am an avid lover of arts and music, a collector of DVDs and enjoys virtually all forms of music, Country to Classical.

Mathematics has been my minor for all my degrees. Permanent teaching certification in NYS / NYC.

Have been doing electronics since pre-teen days. Master's in Electrical Engineering, MIT. Continued interest in electronics, computers and media hardware as an adult professional.

CEO and sole owner of mediadogg Software LLC (http://www.mediadogg.com/shopping) where several of my software programs are marketed and sold. All programs are developed with Microsoft Visual Studio C#.

Having been a Middle School Teacher and Adjunct College Math Professor, I have had experience successfully interacting with students of all ages. Both my two sons have PhDs and are successful scientists. They might have been somewhat influenced by me, and I am so proud of them. :)

I think even more important than my math skills, would be my ability to relate to young children. I have two sons, both of whom now have PhDs. And I have 3 grandchildren, ages 8. 6 and 4.

Insightful and experienced C# tutor.

James has been a pleasure to work with and is an extremely knowledgeable tutor/programmer. His ability to explain programming concepts to someone new to C# has been vital to my understanding of the language. In addition to explaining C# definitions and how they interact in an application he takes the extra steps to teach how to optimize coding and application development. He is highly recommended.

Will, 9 lessons with James
Tutor responded:

William, I enjoyed our sessions. One of the perks of tutoring (actually teaching in general), is that even the teacher learns and enhances skills by collaborating on the challenges of the lesson objectives. I look forward to working with you again.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

James is an excellent tutor. He is very patient and really helps you understand the concepts. He is willing to walk through code with you and answer any questions you may have, which is extremely helpful for beginner coders. If you want a great tutor, hire James!
