I’d never skip English class if this guy was my teacher.

45 minutes in class: I don't understand anything 21minutes with this guy: I understand everything

Can’t believe he’s just convinced me that fighting is the only way to heal the world😭😭

thank you; this is brilliant! I'm 73 and back in school (seminary) after 50 years...this is exactly what I needed!

I wouldn't hesitate attending English class with this guy on the job.

thank you so much! i got an A on my essay and my teacher said that my intro is what got me from a B + to an A! Thank you!! x

I think this is the first time I've ever been entertained and amused by an English lesson! Well done!

I bet he's every student's dream professor

I learn more from you in 5 minutes of KZfaq videos than I learn from real-life crappy teachers.... what does that say about the education system

I don't have any clue why the heck high schools and colleges hire dumb teachers!? I have learned nothing from my English teachers during my entire time at school, but learned too many things from this guy Thank you sir!

6:40 - "Did you know, one in two people are female?" This explains so much. . .

anyone here from 2020 online classes?😭 ion wanna be the only one

I recently went back to school after being out for over15 years. I struggle with writing essay papers, but your video gives me hope. I was considering dropping out and just working two jobs the rest of my life (no joke). Now I believe I can do this. I was never good at papers, but with these steps, I can do it. Thank you.

I'm 42 years old now, and for the life of me I can't recall when or how I ever written a paper. But, I find myself fighting for an opportunity to change my life by starting college on this Thursday. To help with the very expensive out of pocket cost, I have been asked to write an essay to be considered to receive a scholarship for my remaining tuition. I had no clue what I was going to do, or how to write an essay to achieve this goal until I stumbled across your highly effective "How To" video on essay writing. James I believe your my angel to an answered prayer, and from the bottom of my heart I wanna say "Thank You", for taking the time to share your knowledge on this subject, because it's given me the confidence I need to knock this ball out of the park with the most POWERFUL and HEARTFELT essay the world have ever read. Once I have been given confirmation of receiving my scholarship because I'm standing on God's promise that it's already DONE, I will send you a copy of my reward letter. I hope and pray that others will use your passion and willingness to share this gift to achieve greatness, just as I plan too. God Bless You James❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

"don't go and grab a girl, you'll go to jail" LOL

This was 10 years ago but still relevant. Very helpful, thank you!

I wish every teacher would be so comprehensive like you. You have definitely helped me with writing.

how on earth did I watch a 20 minute lecture so fast? whether I have changed or this guy knows how to teach!

Loved it! But where is part two (body of the essay) James!! You have GRABBED my attention 😄

U Can't imagine how much I adore the way of your teaching, my dear prof!

I personally love this man's way of teaching. I was focused the whole way through, as I have a tendency to lose focus.

I'm not that good at writing and I've used this for every essay I've been writing in my college courses. It helps me feel safer when writing and I appreciate this so much. I plan on watching every single one of your videos because I want to improve and you really are such a help for me to learn since I have crazy bad ADHD . Your videos grab my attention just like a good thesis!

Not just everything James teaches, I love his personality too! The genuine spontaneous smiles are so delightful to watch!

I just finished med school and I’m to write Ielts end of the month and your lecture is really a blessing to me because after 7years of med school I don’t think I ever read or wrote an English essay ....

I put my headphone in at 7:00. The most terrifying two seconds of my entire life.

James, I appreciate you so much! I am an English Major heading for graduate school who is homeschooling two children. I lost my voice (I was a broadcaster, and had to retrain) and after seven years of hoarse, painful communication, I may have a cure. Problem is... therapy requires that for three months, I must not speak! My children are learning ASL, and we can communicate, but obviously I cannot lecture. For us, your videos are a blessing. You keep it interesting, and you are teaching exactly as I would. Thanks for solving a very messy problem for me! Your dedication and passion for teaching is evident, and helps more than you know. Keep the vids coming!

The fact that this was from 9 yrs ago but his way of teaching is so great that I didn't became bored or sleepy

Because of you, I mastered my praxis essay. I was an ESL student many years ago and I am eager to say that I learned more about essays with your videos, than one year on the classroom.

Thank you for this video. I found this video beginning my associates degree. As I had been out of school for over twenty years. I used this outline for each essay throughout my associates, bachelor's, and now in the Master's. Thank you so much for posting this video!!

These videos really helped me out since covid started. When lockdown happened and online classes started I slowly felt I was forgetting how to write an essay because of the lack of physical classes. Online is fine and all but it doesn't feel the same as connecting with a professor when things click together. As an English major this simple video has helped me out alot in structuring parts of my essay. I feel more confident again, so thank you James!

I call this one of my favorite English class, and the way he not only related to the students and myself, but totally keep my attention and now I feel more confident in writing my next essay. Great job James ESL

I would like to say thank you for this video. I am a non-traditional student and I am taking classes online; therefore, I haven't heard about outlines in a number of years. This should make writing my essay a lot easier!

Man you’re awesome. I’m a teacher myself and this is the very first time I actually figured out how to put together writing points and go further with it. You rocked it. 💪🏻

This teacher is full of excitement....indeed he is an efficient teacher

Thank you so very, very much!!!! Seriously. Right now, with so many of us trying to help our kids with virtual learning, this is your time to shine! My 6th grader has been struggling for 2 months in English. (His teacher is trying but I think is also struggling with the fact that nearly all the kids missed out on 8 months of school last year with quarentine and never got the seed learning making this new stuff alien.) He's engaged in your explanations and finally "getting it." And the humour helps too after so many tears and frustrations. (For both of us.) Thank you again ❤

2019??any 1...school teachers are crap...this guy need 2 be paid in billion dollar

James, you are an amazing teacher. Incorporating humor is a great way to help learning stick. Keep up the great work!

I was struggling writing my intro for a while but you literally helped me open my eyes with what to do. Ty so much

I learnt more today than i have learnt in 27 years of life lol😂

Wow, I'm so glad I came across this video. I teach essay writing to kids myself, and you just became my role model!!! It is great to have someone to look up to. Thank you for being so wonderful and sharing your awesomeness through KZfaq

Thank you so much for the video, James! This was very helpful. Nothing is difficult. Academic writing needs some tricks and you got all the package. We need more professors like you. Bless you.

Probably the funniest teacher I've ever met! I kept my smile face on along the lecture. I think he is a very good teacher simply by triggering my interests on a subject used to be bored and a bit intimidating to me~ thanks for sharing your lectures, James!

This teacher is so engaging and concise he wouldn't have to reprimand a class to make them listen. I wish my English teachers were this competent.

I fall in love with ur teaching style Your amazing

James, this is fantastic! I love your teaching style as you communicate practical points that are easy to grasp!

This class is amazing, I was skipping this type of topics because I felt impossible to write a good essay, but now I feel more confident with me and the structure you show is really helpfully. Thank you for show us this kind of information.

I was terribly confused about “how to write an essay” but didnt expect whatching this can solve all my problems. I can even write the rest after just this introduction video and surprisingly, i wasnt bored in the entire video thanks to you

I'm practicing how to write essays for my GED exam and I've seen so many videos of how to start writing an essay but none of the tutorials can be compared to this one. It's the best and helped me immediately in less than an hour. Thank you so much! My only question is are there any more essay teaching videos with James? Hopefully there are.

One of the smartest teachers that I have never seen like in my life. Actually, I always take a leaf out of your book. Real talk I adore you bro.

I'm an english literature student and I have writing exam this Sunday 👩🏻‍🎓 this video helped me so much 😍 thank you I appreciate your hard work ❤❤ wish me luck guys 🍀 stay safe & stay healthy 🙏🏻

I love this video you helped a lot since I am learning virtually in school right now and in the midst of a argument essay. So thank you for taking Ethos, Pathos, and Logos and putting those three in the perspective of understanding.

I come back to this video every time I need to write an introduction, helps so much!

I would love it if this was a series with the perfect essay body and conclusion. Overall, great video.

I love this guy's energy and humor, I hope I can nail this kind of energy when I type up my essay and capture my readers attention....my instructor is my first reader. I'm totally using this graph technique while planning out my article for my English Comp class! Thank You! I'm Subscribed :)

OK I would just like to say that you are my teacher at this point because this is the most interesting but fun lesson I have experience in a very long time were you kept me engaged to the point that I didn’t want to stop learning about how to make an intro or just even your personality in general so you’re amazing

Thank you so much this was extremely helpful, when i handed in my essay, the person glanced at it and became absorbed in reading the rest. I could see my writing physically grab someones attention and it felt great, a human being was absorbed in something i wrote? It blew my mind. Thank you sir, i went with a proverb suited to my situation. Thank you so very much you are truly helping so many people out there

I really thought you made a very great method from beginning to end! allowing an understanding of using the FIVE METHODS, Who, What, Where, Why, When. something we learned in grammar school. Through the years l have pushed to the back of my mind, Thanks for dusting off the cobwebs, bringing life back into my own genre.

This is the first time ever English has appealed to me thank you!

Good lecture, deffinitely helped. I'm terrible at starting essays and I spend hours trying to find a good way but I'm never going to face that problem again.

I sat here for maybe 7-8 minutes watching purely for entertainment. You are captivating and humorous and you explain these concepts so well. Great job.

This was exceedingly helpful and you offered a variety of excellent insights that should help me quite a bit. Thank you for the amazing video!

Low key swoozie's second Channel

Thank you a lot, Mr. James.I love watch, listen and learn from you, and I like how you are teaching! Once again thank you for teaching because my English grammar had been increased a lot from learning from you!

Omg where were you when I was in school learning English and writing papers. You are awesome. ! God blessed you with the gift of teaching and this is the only video I’ve seen so far. Thank you 🙏🏼.

"Don't get a girl and grab her you'll go to jail"

Ironic how I learn more on youtube than I actually do in school ...

All the great mentors and teachers have their system, and you taught us your system right. That's why you're great, thank you Sir!

One of the best lectures I've come across. What an amazing teacher!

This helped me so much! Thank you for making these videos!

Hi, thanks for the effective writing skill teaching. Please make the video for the next part "body - and conclusion" in essay . I'm looking forward to learning more from you. Regards

This is the only video I stumbled into after many different researches to find the best video to assit me on how to write an interesting essay asking questions. I admire your terrific teaching and your outstanding video. Thanks

I was an English teacher and this teacher is excellent. My hat's off to you Sir!

I've learned more in a 21-minute video from this guy then I have 2 hours of class.

Amazing Job. You teach this in such a relaxing way. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

this was so very well done!! It took me forever to distinguish the little nuances but you explained everything in great detail to the point where it was impossible to miss the important things.

I absolutely love the way you deliver the information. Thank you so much for this.

James u r awesome. The little I saw ur video really grabbed my attention to listen more and more. you are a great teacher.

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!! You and my teacher are exactly the same so I really hope I get a wonderful grade. Thank you so much!! (:

you kept my attention while being educational at the same time. Your an amazing professor

I LOVE THIS! I hope you're still teaching online as I would love to view more of your videos.

James you are the best. I’m taking English 101 in January 21,2020. I was scare at first. You gave me confidence.😘

That's the problem: You are one of the best teachers ever!

Unlike most of the other videos I've tried to watch on this topic, he cut to to the chase in just 2.5 minutes! Most other vids talk for 10 minutes about what they're going to talk about, but rarely do talk about it. Thumbs up for that reason alone!

What I can't believe that you taught such a thing in one day I was searching for good essay tips for years but you are the best

I love your video, please do the how to write an effective essay: the body and the conclusion

This was great and I showed it to my class. I liked how you explained everything. I just wish you had actually written the introduction so they could see the "finished" product.

Mannnnn, I would’ve been a way better person and learn more enjoyably if I had more teachers like you. We need more teachers like you!!

Thank you for making this video!! I'm back at uni after 10 yrs and haven't written any academic writting since then!!

where have you've been in my whole highschool life, i've been wanting to learn all of what you say!!!!!!!! best eng video sub...

This was the best teaching ever!
