I think James is one of the best teachers ever known to me. I am Nisha . I am from India. My English is good but after listening to James’ lectures I could not resist falling in love with his style of teaching. I think his enthusiasm and his crispy humors while teaching is incredible. Not only English but he has helped me improving my teaching skills also, as I am a teacher by profession.

    Dear Nisha,

    I am from Pakistan. While reading your comment, I found something strange; You used the word “humor” as a countable noun in your comment. I believe the word humor is an uncountable noun in the above context. However, it can be used as a countable noun only when it means the state of your feelings or mind at a particular time for example to be in the best of humors or when it means one of the four liquids that were thought in the past to be in a person’s body and to influence health and character, the latter meaning is of course not in use anymore. I hope I haven’t offended you.

Thanks very much for all teachers.

Hi James

I liked a lot your video class. I have one comment to you. I think that it will be better for the student just think in 3 steps on the essay task. Introduction, body (main ideas, support ideas) and conclusion (about main idea) as you explain. Because, when you read about the task you already have a question, so, you do not need to think about another question. And about the thesis, I think is kind of confusing. However, I really enjoy your class.
Thank you
Bye

I’m Ken , I’m from Malaysia , currently I’m studying in Dalat International school in Penang, for the most part i not doing good cause my grammar is bad , the reason is that my previous school didn’t teach a very good job in grammar since the most i could remember is them teaching vocab.heck maybe i just plain forgot everything, so basicly i don’t even know the basic of basic grammar like noun or pronoun or the rest of the basic . I don’t really want to kick out from that school so is there any advice from me ?

Hi James!
Congratulation to your video-lesson! I enjoyed it very much. Your explanations are clear and understandable. I will share this video with all my friends who are learning English.¨

Hey:) My name’s Maria and would say, that your video lessons are really good for improving the language skills! Relying my own experience, I thought it’s perfect to study English, when you’re surrounded by native speakers only…but now I fully realized, that your classes are of much use as well – one gets to know so many new interesting words, expressons and even sentences (!), which you can further use in your own speech. Well, I’m completely satisfied with what you’re doing and how you’re teaching! Thanx a lot for that!
