And much more, Get in touch to see if I can fit your needs.Me as a Teacher
I get immense enjoyment out of seeing my students do well, I am very thorough and like to work out where my students weaknesses are so that I can coach them and help them to improve, I am a very keen listener and problem solver, in my book your success is my success, When I notice areas for improvement I am quick to make suggestions and corrections in order to build on any weaknesses.
I treat language learning like a muscle, if you don't train it it becomes weaker, so I am a big fan of recapping and spaced repetition.My lessons & teaching style
I offer hundreds of lessons from Intermediate to advanced with very in depth course material designed to work around you.
My teaching style is flexible and depends on my student and what their desirable outcomes are, my style works around the students wants and needs.My teaching material

James is a very patient and warm teacher who helps me with my British pronunciation and accent in a pretty meticulous way. I would recommend him to any British English lovers. I do have several upcoming lessons with him and I'm lookin forward to seeing him soon! Overall nice and well-structured lessons. Well done!

It was a tremendous conversation lesson with a great native English speaker James who is kind, interactive and inspiring! We've talked on a lot of topics for today and I really enjoyed the conversation that the time went so fast! This conversation was really interesting and tremendous and I hope he'll visit the Far East of Russia, especially Vladivostok in the future! I hope to see him next time! It was awesome!
