About James
During my own academic career, I moved from all A*s at GCSE and A-Level to an undergraduate degree in English at the University of Cambridge, and then onto a Masters degree in Performance at Mountview, one of the UK`s top drama schools. I work at the London School of Tuition as an educational consultant, and have classroom experience.
Over the past several years, in my tutoring career, I have helped students from ages 7 to 21, providing assistance in every area of academic life: from the eleven-plus and common entrance exams to A-levels, the IB and undergraduate dissertations, via competitive debating and public speaking.
One-on-one tutoring is a blessing in its flexibility, and the opportunity it affords to build up a student's confidence in a subject, away from the hothouse of school. I love connecting with each student to find out how they learn best, in order to help them achieve and surpass their goals — and hopefully have some fun along the way!
Over the past 12 months, my most recent students include eleven-plus candidates getting into their first choice schools, middle school children discovering a newfound confidence with written and spoken texts, and GCSE and A-level students improving by two grades.

I am a friendly, approachable Cambridge graduate originally from Northumberland. I have always loved education, and enjoy helping others not only to understand a topic, but to delight in it. I enjoy meeting new people, and finding the interesting side of anything. I offer tutoring in English up to undergraduate degree level, and in Latin up to A-level.

James is a thoughtful and engaging individual, who can share his own enthusiasm for literature with acumen and sensitivity. He has a strong academic credentials, with an English degree from Cambridge and a master's degree in drama, but he is far from a stuffed shirt, wearing his scholarship lightly whilst applying the depth of his learning.
Having known James for 12 years, I have always been struck by his sincerity and integrity and can commend him for his ability to work with a sense of purpose and a sense of humour. This combination of serious commitment and lively wit makes him a humane scholar with whom it is a delight to work.James is a very intelligent and engaging man. He is professional and reliable and will be able to tutor both adults and children to a high standard in his subjects. I have no hesitation in recommending him for this role.
