About Me

My name is James and I am originally from London which is where I am also based. I am 41 years old and I just spent 10 years living and working in Berlin, Germany. I made many friends from all over the world during that time with whom I am still in contact with. I assisted them with their English classes and now that I've returned home, I am still interested in doing so for other people. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and having a good conversation with them about everything and nothing.Me as a Teacher
While I was in Berlin, I hosted a weekly meetup where all of my friends who were learning English would meet in a coffee shop in the centre of town for a few hours. There, we would talk about various subjects such as the weather, life, politics and travelling. It was an excellent opportunity for all to meet new people and establish new friendships. We all learnt a lot about not only each other but also other people's countries and cultures. My lessons & teaching style
I basically have 2 teaching methods:
1. For the more advanced user, learning materials are put aside for the more direct approach of just having a conversation about whatever the students wishes to discuss. The kind of freestyle method is the perfect way for them to not only develop their ability to listen but also gives them the confidence to speak English within a fluent setting.
2. For the more basic user, learning materials are provided (either from a book they happen to be using or from myself) which are then covered together. This kind of approach allows me to support my student in the exact moment that they may require assistance with some feature of the English language.My teaching material

I had the pleasure of studying English with James, and I can confidently say they are an exceptional educator. Their deep knowledge of the language, combined with a patient and engaging teaching style, made every lesson both enjoyable and highly effective. They tailored the lessons to my individual needs, helping me improve not only my grammar and vocabulary but also my confidence in speaking and writing.
What truly sets James apart is their passion for teaching and genuine care for their students’ progress. They provide constructive feedback thoughtfully and encourage questions, creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. Thanks to their guidance, my English skills have improved dramatically.
I highly recommend James to anyone looking to master English, whether for academic, professional, or personal goals. Their expertise and dedication make learning rewarding and inspiring.
