I'm James, a British English teacher specialising in speaking confidence and fluency. I work with learners who understand English but still don't feel natural when they speak. I've studied French, Chinese, Spanish, Persian, and Portuguese, so I've experienced the gap between knowing a language and using it. My lessons are built around closing that gap through real conversation, not textbook exercises.
Outside teaching, I play music, go camping, and read a lot. I'm curious about people and cultures, which means every lesson ends up being an interesting conversation!
I'm a certified English teacher with seven years of experience, including two years in China and five years online.
I believe the best way to learn to speak is by speaking! So we won't spend time on grammar drills. Instead, we'll have real conversations about a wide range of topics. As we talk, I'll help you find more natural ways to express your ideas. Grammar and vocabulary come through the conversation, not as a separate focus. The more you talk, the more I can help you.
During every lesson I listen carefully and offer you corrections and upgrades. After each session, I log what we worked on and build you a personalised flashcard deck to make sure you remember what we study long-term. I also set a short weekly voice note task and suggest podcasts, videos, or articles you'll enjoy. The goal is that English becomes part of your routine until it feels natural.

Tres bien. James as a conscientious and interactive during the lesson sometimes help me work out better and more natural expressions. Frankly, his language skills are amazing so that he is well qualified with this teaching mission.
