About James

I have been tutoring adults and children for 23 years, and combine rigour with a calm, friendly, enthusiastic and patient approach that gets students "onside" and gets results. I specialise in online 11plus and ISEB preparation and over time have built up the resources and knowhow to help any student nationwide to prepare for and pass these exams.

I frequently engage in unpaid extra work between lessons, which can be looking at students' homework that I have set, researching what each school requires, procuring specialised material and investigating new learning resources. I am always happy to talk to parents outside lesson times in order to address any concerns and to optimise their child's achievement.

I also love teaching older students and have a great deal of experience and success teaching at GCSE level and adults who are either learning for fun or preparing for qualifications such as City and Guilds.

In the last year I have started teaching Funtional Maths to adults (levels 1 and 2). I am highly numerate and passionate about maths and my style is particularly suited to adults who didn't like maths at school and consequently lack confidence.

I am a graduate in modern languages and since 2009 I have been helping students with French, German and Spanish GCSE both online and in person; enabling students to build confidence in order to achieve grades well beyond what their parents initially expected. I am familiar with the requirements of all the major exam boards and specialise in imparting my own inventive methods to help students remember tricky items of vocabulary and grammar.

Since 2015 I have also been tutoring adults in French, German, Spanish and Italian, which I enjoy as I am able to quickly build up a rapport with the student. Most of my lessons have been online, which is very effective. I often find that adults who are motivated to learn foreign languages have similar interests to me, which gives me opportunities to teach things that they will remember. I encourage my students to appreciate the culture of countries where the target language is spoken, starting with simple songs and moving on to radio, television, literature and film.
