Instructor Bio:

Hi, I'm Mr. Hinton, I have taught children from the early age of 2 years old to 18 years of age. I really enjoy learning about what kids like to do and what motivates them. I know all children want to do well on a test, but it is also good to build rapport with them. I will sometimes use rewards for younger kids and have some fun conversations. Sometimes I use props like comics, movies, animals, Marvel, and Hello Kitty!

Educational Background, Degrees, Licenses:

Master of Science - Sports and Fitness Administration
Master of Arts - History
Bachelor of Arts - History
Certified - American Red Cross Professional Rescuer - CPR/AED/First Aid

Favorite Quote:

“Make mistakes. Move forward and learn from them!”

Fun Fact:

I finished two master’s degrees in 3 years.

Judith says:

I noticed that my son was engaged in the class. I like the way he rotates the children to participate by asking questions and asking them to read. James does not embarrass kids when they do not know the answer. Instead, he guides them with the right thinking. He simply said that it is ok. The teacher is nice and friendly. Highly recommend teachers like James where they can relate and engage well with students.
