Cambridge English Literature Graduate and Experienced Tutor Teaching 11+, GCSE and A-Level English Across London

James supported our son with his preparation for common entrance exams.
He helped him cover the material itself, as well as study and exam skills.
James also provided English tutoring (which is one of his areas of expertise).
James is an excellent tutor who clearly enjoys getting to the heart of what his
tutees need from him. He was thoughtful and kind and managed to maintain
my son’s interest and significantly boost his performance, particularly in
English. We would definitely have James back again and other students
would be lucky to be taught by him.

I engaged James to tutor my 14 year old son a few months ago: in that short
time he has developed more of an understanding of literature, comprehension
and grammar than in his previous 10 years of (private) education. For the first
time he comes home discussing what he has been studying with actual
enthusiasm and is beginning to appreciate the value of books and plays. This
is quite remarkable in light of his previous failure in - and fear of - English,
and this is entirely due to James' ability to ascertain what my son/a pupil
needs to both be stimulated and to progress - whether simply to obtain a
higher exam grade or to ignite an interest in reading. I will therefore
endeavour to sabotage any other ambitions James may have in writing or
acting as I believe he can have a life changing impact upon both my son's
education and - perhaps more importantly - an appreciation of literature for
the rest of his life.
