Hello - I’m James :)
I'm a friendly English teacher from Bristol with over 8 years of experience. I specialise in conversational fluency and Cambridge exam prep (First and Advanced), helping students gain confidence and certifications. Having lived in Spain for 7 years, I understand the challenges of learning a language - and the joy of cultural exchange.
Let’s explore English through real-world topics, storytelling and shared experiences. When I’m not teaching, I’m likely hiking, discovering new music, or diving into modern fiction books. I'm curious about your culture too - let’s learn together!
Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching English in a wide range of contexts, including primary schools, exam preparation,and private tuition for adults.
My specialities are:
- Conversation classes to develop practical skills and gain confidence in your ability to communicate effectively.
- Preparation for Cambridge exams (PET, First, Advanced) or other English exams.
So if you are looking to gain confidence in everyday situations or if you have the goal of obtaining an internationally recognised certification, I can help you with that.
My lessons & teaching style
I aim for enjoyable classes which are focused on your needs. In my classes, we explore current topics and everyday situations and I encourage active participation and free expression.
I use a variety of resources to make learning more fun and effective, from studying texts and videos to interactive games.
In addition, I have a wide library of English storybooks which we can discuss in class and read for homework. Stories are a natural way of discovering vocabulary and grammar as they are how we learn language as children.
In our classes, I will give constructive feedback and a focus on your areas for improvement to ensure effective progress. Get ready for a fun learning journey!

Es muy agradable conversar con él y corrige de modo educado y con explicaciones sencillas. Además, propone diferentes tipo de actividades durante la clase, para no hacerla monónonta, y se adecúa perfectamente a lo que el alumno solicita. Muy buen profesor.

The professor has good materials and is also patient and clarifies any doubts you may have. I enjoyed the class and will not hesitate to continue with him.

Had a great first lesson with James, and he is friendly, patient and supportive. I enjoyed the interaction and the materials used very much, and I was given ample time to speak.

James is a great English teacher. He is patient, makes the lessons very varied, and takes my preferences into account. He explains things clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand if you don’t get something. I can highly recommend him. I’m really glad I chose him as my teacher.

Every lesson feels like a new discovery with him. He shares his deep knowledge with so much patience and enthusiasm, and each time he helps me see things in a broader way. I’m truly grateful!
