College Professor, Tutor, Mentor & Writer
My name is Dr. James, and I have worked as a college professor and, more recently, as a freelance writer, editor, and tutor. I was born in Jersey City, grew up in Bergen County, and moved to Philadelphia where I attended the University of Pennsylvania (earning a B.A. in Philosophy) and Temple University, where I received an M.F.A. in Screenwriting. Subsequently, I moved to New York City where I lived for 16 years and earned my Ph.D. in American Studies from NYU. As an American Studies Ph.D., I have over twenty years of college/university teaching experience in subjects ranging from English Composition, Business Writing, American and World History, and Literature. I am a published scholarly writer and freelance writer. I am also a passionate creative writer, engaged in writing short and long fiction as well as poetry. Furthermore, I work as a freelance editor and writer, possessing expert skills in grammar, punctuation, and proofreading. For the last 10 years, I have tutored and mentored students in History. I also teach English and Philosophy to small groups of advanced students.

Nothing is taught until something is learnt
Due to the variety of teachers and mentors I have had, I developed techniques to internalize information. This helped me learn faster in my personal life, and helped me impart knowledge onto others. My students ranged from my MBA cohort to high school students. Each student I took time with to help them understand the fundamentals of the subject areas and then build competence and confidence toward academic success. I am certified in marketing management, project management, and strategic planning with an MBA from ARU. Whatever the learning task, we can achieve it together

I have many years’ experience teaching, two years’ one-on-one, in classrooms, online and in person. I receive consistent five-star ratings from students and parents, who appreciate the creativity and excitement I share with students. I am also a professional writer, and can help students develop their writing skills beyond spelling, grammar and research. I hold New York State certification to teach English and Social Studies, and ITTT certification to teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).

I have recently been consulting as an Intensive Literacy Support Specialist for reading-challenged and dyslexic students, with GreatLeaps.com. I examine and profile student needs for intervention, and implement a program of intervention and support, which has achieved significant results: excellent reading progress for the student. I have a bachelor’s degree in English from York University, a master’s in Public Administration from New York University, and thirty graduate credits in teaching from Columbia University Teachers College and City College of New York.
