I have been a college Business and Economics teacher for over 8 years. I teach or have taught classes in Marketing, Economics, Business Law, Accounting, Finance, Management, Managing Projects, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, General Business, Communication, Learning Framework, College Math, Business Ethics and many others. My degrees are in business (Bachelor's in Marketing and Masters in Management Information Systems with specialization in Management Science) and included several Math and Statistics Classes, as well as 12 hours in Economics. I read and study History and Economics out of an interest in both fields. I am a published author (articles in magazines and company newsletters) and have done proofreading and editing for a writing club (online) (and won several writing competitions in it.)

I am also certified Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) in Excel 2013 and Word 2013. For over two years I published the campus newsletter in Microsoft Publisher, for which I wrote most of the content. I also have over 30 years experience in business including entrepreneurship and small business management, during which time I trained many managers and other employees in Management, Marketing, Accounting, Math and more.

I was Valedictorian of my high school class and often helped my friends and classmates to understand subjects, especially math. I scored the highest possible score on ACT math section and was in the top 1% on the ACT and SAT as well as the top 2% on the GMAT business graduate school admissions test. I tutored for the athletic department at Texas Tech while I was in graduate school.

My son told me that after just one session with James he is better understanding his work!! Wish that we had reached out sooner! But better late! James has been a real help!!!

Traci, 5 lessons with James

Very helpful

James helped my son with financial accounting and was very helpful and patient. He simplified the principles for him and gave him easy tips to help him as he moves forward.

Hal, 2 lessons with James

Very patient and explained things well!

James was very patient and knew his subject matter well. He helped in all areas and I am going to continue to have him help as I feel much more comfortable with the work.

Garrett, 1 lesson with James

Great first visit! My son enjoyed it and is excited to learn finally!

James helped my son with elementary math. He was very friendly and patient. Seems like some of it "clicked" already and this was only the first appointment. My son seemed excited and he can't wait till the next one!

Jennifer, 5 lessons with James

Awesome!

James was able to break down the material so that I could understand it. He was very knowledgeable and patient. I feel more confident after the lesson. Thank you for all your help and I will definitely be scheduling another lesson!!

James made my daughter understand probability better. He was very understandable and was very kind when my daughter asked him a question. He is a very good tutor.

Tutor responded:

Thank you Ibtihaj for the kind words.

Very helpful tutor

James has helped me really understand accounting. I know how to do the problems before I go to class, which is very helpful since I used to not be good at it. He also is helping me understand finance. He is patient with me when I don't understand and finds new ways to explain it. One of the best tutors I've had!

Tutor responded:

Thank you very much for the kind remarks, Alexandra!

Great tutor

James was great. He was pretty much easy to understand and I like how he is going about teaching me. He seems very intelligent also. He was also very patient with me when I had questions and did not make me feel bad at all when I didn't understand something. He would thoroughly explain everything I was struggling with.
