How to Write an Effective Essay: The Introduction

[DivineSeaDragon]

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😭😭

[abuelitadc]

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

[allanfuentes]

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

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❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

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

[kyrusbabon]

I bet he's every student's dream professor

[EmilyLynne]

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

[briannabense]

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

[arianarios]

[kirukebe]

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

[breadpitt]

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!

[peaceinastorm]

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

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

[andrewzhu]

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

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.

[sanaebenali]
