About James
My first class Engineering degree from Cambridge University empowers me to tutor Physics and Maths to a high level as well as mentor students for university entrance exams and interviews. I am friendly and bring an infectious enthusiasm for the subject matter as well as a deep understanding of where physics and maths sit within a greater context which has helped me mentor students to achieve the top grades and get into the best universities.
Alongside my job working for an educational technology company and my academic tutoring, I also offer proof reading on all sorts of documents. My grasp of the English language allows me to turn even the most complicated piece of text into a smooth and eloquent passage - great for sprucing up your applications to universities for undergraduate or post graduate places.
Coming from a state educated background, I am well acquainted with students of all abilities and varying needs. I know the importance of students' understanding why they are doing what they are doing rather than just blindly following a process they don't fully comprehend. I focus both on having a good strategy to pass exams while offering a deeper and supplementary look into the syllabus to help nurture greater passion for the subject more broadly.
I pride myself on being a very approachable individual who is kind and empathetic. I present material in an engaging and exciting way which helps build a great relationship between me and the student.
I always try my best to make my lessons as engaging, interesting and interactive as possible and employ a wide variety of techniques to ensure each student's needs are met. Everyone is different, and I tailor my tutoring to each student's personal needs in order to help them achieve their full potential.
I have been tutoring for many years now and have a lot of experience both in person and via online virtual platforms like zoom. Please do read my reviews if you’d like to see my track record.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of James.
Perfect! James is a dedicated and committed tutor with sound curriculum knowledge, making a huge impact in helping me reach learning goals.
He's developed tailored and engaging lesson plans by using wealth of techniques.Perfect! Very happy. James teaches well and creates significant interest.
James has been helping our 17 year old son for the last few months and has produced great results. It has allowed our son to deepen his understanding of the subject, develop a more intuitive approach and James knowledge has been stellar with a strong ability to teach and widen the scope of understanding and interest.
Subject : Engineering
Outcome : On-goingPerfect! responsive, organised, enthusiastic, competent, clear
I have tried out a number of tutors for one off lessons on this site and one of its leading competitor's sites for Physics A level tuition for my VI Form College son. James stood out from the outset for his organisation and prompt, clear communication. He wasn't available immediately -- in fact we had to wait several months -- but we persisted and the reports on initial lessons suggest it was worth the wait.
My son says that he is enthusiastic and -- most importantly -- explains the topics clearly, in a way that according to my son his teacher at school fails to do. He was clearly better than the several other tutors we tried, and as a University Prof myself have some idea what to look for.

We were looking for a tutor for our daughter to help with A level physics. I looked on this site and there were numerous tutors but James' bio stood out amongst the rest so we chose him - What a good choice it turned out to be! James has been fantastic, not only is he passionate and extremely enthusiastic about the subject he is also polite, caring and very well organised, always planning ahead of the lesson and asking what topics our daughter would like help with.
Our daughter is shy and quiet but as she got to know James we noticed that she was confident to ask questions when she was unsure about a topic.
We would highly recommend James :)James helped me with university physics entrance tests, interview prep and writing my personal statement! He explained difficult concepts in such simple ways, using memorable analogies. No matter what question I’d bring (a level or something from the physics olympiad) he explained it very well. He also put in a lot of time and effort helping me with my personal statement which I’m so grateful for. An amazing tutor that I highly recommend!
We covered a bit of the Electricity topic in A level physics and James explained things very in-depth, ensuring that I had a thorough understanding of the concepts. He answered all my questions in a way that was easy to understand, and made sure that I understood his explanations.
I found electricity questions easier after James’ lesson as I had a clearer understanding of what was actually going on in the questions.James was my son's A-Level Chemistry Tutor during the latter half of Year 13 and I highly recommend him as a tutor for anyone studying A-level Chemistry. His strong command and passion for chemistry teached him more advanced material, explaining interlinks between the subjects. I would also recommend him to all abilities as he was able to simplify complex topics in Chemistry and was able to convey the key details for the exam - which substantially improved his exam technique, during the covid-19 pandamic James was godsend and put my son's worries at ease.
Thanks jamesJames was an incredible tutor demonstrating an impressive knowledge base and intuition relating to any math and physics related subject (and more). Every question and problem was met with an adapted answer and in as much detail as necessary to understand not just know the solution. James' flexibility and availability were also a big plus as well as his ability to prepare my insurmountable requests for the next session.
James is an exceptional tutor. He is very friendly, professional and goes the extra mile that makes his contribution not only good but also outstanding. He has helped me to identify my weaknesses and structure my ideas with clarity, while greatly improving my writing style.
James supported my class of Year 11 students studying A/S Maths. He visited once per week for a double lesson. James very quickly developed an excellent rapport with the class. He was confident, sensitive, approachable and extremely helpful. The students thoroughly enjoyed his support and we're extremely attentive in the sessions where I encouraged James to lead the teaching. He is a natural teacher who easily sets Maths in a practical context. I thoroughly recommend him as a tutor.
