    About James A.

    I'm a passionate expert on relational databases and an SQL tutor who is willing and quite able to help you understand the fundamentals of SQL and relational databases.I love programming: in fact it is essential to my way of living such that I can express myself through code. My greatest strength lies in the fact that I didn't grow up in a computer programming background (my bachelor's is in Chemistry)nevertheless I stand as evidence to encourage my students that it doesn't matter what area of study you've specialized in if you want to learn, you can program at a very high level. I adopt and offer my students a hands-on approach to learning programming and I use real life metaphors to relate to writing efficient code. I also provide assistance in the completion of software projects for clients (individual or small business) as well as training material and guidance for aspiring tech professionals undergoing a career change.
