  • "Working with James was a pleasure, and I will definitely request him for future projects. He was able to create professional material for my lesson with protocols, lesson highlights, and detailed and organized evidence-based teaching strategies. All work was completed on time. He was flexible to pivot in a new direction when we both saw the need. He was also open to feedback about his work to help make the project a success. Wonderful personality--passionate about his work and conscientious about the quality of his work as well. Will definitely use his services again."
