James

Certified Tutor

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Design (graphic design) from Elon University in 2016. Throughout my senior year, I worked at the headquarters of Kindermusik International on website, marketing, and teaching tools. The following year, I decided to stay at Elon University and obtain a Master's of Science in Management with a focus in Operational Analytics. This degree was largely focused on statistics but also included background in accounting, economics, finance, and business management. Since graduating in 2017, I have traveled both domestically and abroad. During the summer of 2018, I received my TEFL certificate and moved to Vietnam to teach English for three months. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, guitar, and piano, as well as cooking and exercising. Though I have experience in many fields, I mostly enjoy tutoring algebra, statistics, English as a foreign/second language, and guitar. I believe that it is essential for students to learn in a stress-free atmosphere and that true academic growth must come naturally. I try my very best to be myself in the classroom and expect the same from my students. I try to gain an understanding of their interests in order to keep tutoring sessions interesting.
