About Me
italki teacher since Jul 4, 2019InterestsArtSports & FitnessFood
I love working with students from around the world, each with their unique stories and experiences. I am creative and have a passion for art, design, and ideas. Alongside being an English language teacher I am also a visual artist and jewelry maker.Me as a Teacher
I am an enthusiastic teacher with five years of teaching experience. I have a Cambridge CELTA certification and have taught in schools, businesses, universities, and online. I lived in Mexico for 5 years and am learning Spanish, which enhances my teaching as I understand the challenges of learning a new language. My lessons & teaching style
Every learner is different so my classes are based on your objectives. I create a friendly and comfortable learning environment while providing extra resources such as articles, podcasts, and videos for daily practice. My classes cover a wide range of topics, such as conversation skills, creative writing, business English, pronunciation, exam preparation, British vocabulary, interview readiness, and more.My teaching material

James is a great teacher! He helps me with Business English in my specific field improving my vocabulary, writing and speaking skills. We only had three lessons, but I feel much more confident with my English already.

我从没想过线上雅思课可以这么有效，这个老师会油管视频辅助课堂知识，再配合随堂练习和作业。最最关键的是，他的课是有系统的，不是东一脚西一脚，这简直就不像是在上网课，而是报名了雅思培训学校。James是我遇到的italki上最好的老师。
I, for one, definitely wasn’t expecting an online IELTS course can be such effective. James packaged each class with educational videos, rich exercises, and homework, which made the classes more of a systematic style of study than of a single online training, where lay the most beautiful part. Highly recommend James as whom I believe is the best English teacher here in Italki.
