Hello! I’m James from Bournemouth, England. I spent a couple of years teaching English in Japan which was a great experience. Since returning home, I have worked as a paralegal for a local law firm. I’m a big football fan. I support my local team, AFC Bournemouth, and try to attend as many matches as possible. My other hobbies include travelling, playing tennis/badminton, learning the guitar, reading books, watching films and studying Japanese. I look forward to seeing you in my class! James

Me as a Teacher

Imagine a learning environment where you feel completely comfortable and relaxed – that's what I strive to provide. When you're at ease, unlocking your full English potential becomes so much easier. In our lessons, your questions are always welcome, mistakes are seen as learning opportunities, and any hesitation will naturally fade away. I'm dedicated to making your learning journey engaging, relevant, and perfectly tailored to your individual needs and goals. I've had the pleasure of guiding students with diverse goals, from conquering English exams and preparing for life abroad to enhancing their professional communication and simply maintaining their English fluency.

My lessons & teaching style

In my free-talk lessons, the focus is on natural communication in a relaxed atmosphere. As you speak, I'll provide helpful feedback on grammar and pronunciation. I will also suggest more natural expressions to elevate your English. My goal is to empower you to speak English with greater confidence. If you have specific materials or topics you'd like to cover, please feel welcome to bring them along – sharing them beforehand allows me to better prepare.

Had a great conversation with James and we talked about different topics in our first lesson. He is very friendly, supportive and patient, and I felt relaxed when chatting with him.
