About James
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been tutoring English Language and Literature for 15 years, beginning whilst I was studying English Literature at university.
Alongside teaching privately, I also work as a creative copywriter and features writer. I've had plenty of articles published and have written speeches for many a CEO, and one or two public figures.
I'm also a musician and I released my debut album in April 2023 - please feel free to get in touch if you or children play guitar and are interested in songwriting lessons.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

I provide students and parents with clear lesson plans and required reading for at least 2-3 weeks in advance (happy to adapt to student's individual needs).
- Do you have a personal message for students?
I believe confidence is the key to all learning and progression within a subject, and the right mix of dedication and enthusiasm leads to consistently high results for my English students.
Delivering a fun, enjoyable and engaging learning experience is central to my teaching practice. After all, the English subjects are one of the few where your individual opinion is truly valued in terms of how you express yourself in coursework and exam papers - so I take great pride in teaching you key tricks of the literature trade, and encourage all students to express themselves confidently and coherently from both a verbal standpoint and via the written word.

James is a fantastic, trustworthy English tutor.
He tutored my daughter, brought her grades up and she passed her GCSEs!
He is calm and patient and brings an element of fun to the lesson.
I would 100% recommend him.Best tutor I’ve had, massively improved my grades during my gcse exams.
James is a brilliant tutor - very reliable and always well prepared but also happy to adapt classes to specific requirements if needed. He is very engaging and really tuned in to different learning styles.
With James' help my son progressed from a C in Year 10 to achieving an A Grade for his GCSE's. The focused, disciplined but also creative and fun approach of James' tutoring had a very positive effect on our son.
James has been a great help to my son in helping him to understand GCSE texts a lot more, and provides very engaging lessons. My son's teacher has said his grades, and also confidence in expressing his opinions have improved greatly. Thanks James!
James was a fantastic tutor to my two daughters, one of whom was struggling greatly with her GCSE English and eventually achieved a B which her school did not believe was possible eighteen months before.
