Hello! I’m James, an English language teacher (and aspiring writer) living in Scotland. I come from an academic background originally, having bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English, American and gothic literature. Since 2018, I've been teaching on italki, helping hundreds of students to improve their English and achieve their goals.
In my free time, I enjoy reading; going to the cinema; playing video games; spending time with friends and family; studying history, mythology and folklore; and working on my own creative writing projects.Показать перевод
Я как преподаватель
I'm a qualified English language teacher, with both TEFL and CELTA teaching certificates. I've previously taught B1-C1 English language learners in a traditional classroom setting, as part of my CELTA training, at Edinburgh's Centre of English Studies (CES).
I've been teaching on italki since 2018, and take great pride in the testimonials that students have posted on my teacher profile. My students and former colleagues have commended me for my professionalism, friendliness, warmth and sense of humour. I listen closely to my students, understand their needs and work hard to help them achieve their goals.Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
“General English”: We'll focus on improving your core skills to get you to the next level. I’ll provide teaching materials, homework and periodic assessments.
“Informal Tutoring”: We can discuss any topic of interest or roleplay what you need to practise (i.e. job interviews). I’ll correct your mistakes and introduce relevant grammar/vocabulary.
“Proof-reading”: Need help with your writing? I can correct your mistakes and offer you advice. I specialise in academic writing, but I’ve also helped students with their creative projects.
“Language Through Literature”: If you're interested in reading, I can offer a range of English-language short stories, poems and essays we could discuss.Мой учебный материал

Professional TeacherI have been teaching professionally on italki since 2018, helping students to advance their English level as well as prepare for the IELTS test. In addition, drawing on my past experience as an academic specialising in English and American literature, I have been able to offer students more advanced lessons that seek to improve their English through reading, discussing and writing about literature. I have also worked closely with students to proofread their work and improve their writing.

Опыт работы
2015 - 2015
Volunteer Property AssistantWhilst volunteering as a property assistant, I worked primarily as a room guide at the NTS's Gladstone’s Land property on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. I studied the history of the property and of Edinburgh before relating this knowledge back to visitors. I worked closely alongside different teams of guides, co-ordinating their coffee breaks. I also assisted at reception and in the gift shop, selling tickets and merchandise, operating the till, taking inventory of stock and answering enquiries.
2015 - 2015
Volunteer Partnerships ResearcherAs a partnerships researcher I used my research skills to identify charities that ProjectScotland could partner with and to gather information requested by the Partnerships Managers. I developed a system for creating and managing the posters used to advertise ProjectScotland's volunteering opportunities, condensing the available information into clear, concise advertisements. I later returned to induct my successor in this role.

Another great lesson! I would have never believed learning English can be such an enjoyable experience. James is a wonderful teacher. He is kind and patient, encouraging and supportive. He has a great sense of humour and profound insights, and it is always a pleasure to discuss short stories with him. It does not even feel like learning, but I gain so much confidence when speaking English.

James turned my learning experience around. Not only did learning English through literature advance my language skills, it also gave me an opportunity to switch perspectives, jump into someone else's shoes, and absorb experiences I'd never have a chance to go through in real life.
