Native English speaker with a lifetime of English teaching experience. I’m from Southampton, England where the Titanic left. I have taught a wide range of students and enjoyed sharing in their success, sometimes helping with successful university applications to leading universities. I have taught in companies such as EY, Coke, HP, P&G, BNP Paribas and represented start-up businesses in London. I have spent a lot of my working life training at companies in Central and Eastern Europe but I now have moved online having had enough sitting in the traffic in capital cities. Online I am always punctual, professional and work in a relaxed environment. My current clients range from diligent teens with big dreams to big 4 professionals looking to give their financial publications and Due Diligence an Anglo-Saxon stamp of approval. I understand how hard it can be to learn a language. I have been learning Hungarian for many years now so I have a lot of empathy and know how it feels to be in your position. So if you want to up your game in business English or talk about art and poetry or pass a tough exam, give me a call and start to chat..

Derek helped me a lot in gaining confidence and becoming clearer and more sophisticated in my English language communication. He’s a pro, understands the business environment, an excellent tutor.
My son got English cources with Derek James aiming to improve speaking, listening and use of English skills.
In one academic year we increased the Cambridge test results acheiving B2 level.
The approach and friendly manner of teaching delivers the fluent use of language, wide lexicon and desire to learn.
Hello to everyone. :) I am Elena from Russia. I met Derek on one of the biggest and most well-known teaching platform couple of years ago and I've never regretted the choice I've made. Every class was interesting and informative. Derek adapts to the student's language levels and needs. Of course, I would recommend Derek as a highly professional tutor with a very good personality.
Derek is direct and friendly. He came prepared for every occasion, on a variety of topics. He was flexible enough with the timing of the lessons.
