About James
- My CV I was a pupil at Manchester Grammar School, attaining straight As at GCSE and A level (in the days before A*s) and two 1s at S level in Physics and Chemistry (there’s a Wikipedia page for scholarship_level if you want to find out what those were). I read Natural Sciences at St John’s College Cambridge, a broad course including Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Material Science. Heading to the City for some years I trained and practised at a Big Four Firm doing the exams of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, and the Institute of Tax, achieving first time passes (and missing a Merit by a mere 0.25%, but please don’t ask me about that!) The Institutes' exams are likened to doing six A levels every three months. I therefore find exam technique and exams a joy. Provided you practise, practise, practise you can’t go wrong. These days I mix tutoring my old school passions with some consultancy. - Why am I here? I love the buzz I get from teaching; there's nothing like it. I love sharing my enthusiasm for my subjects with others and I’m here both to enthuse and to help students to pass exams better than they ever thought possible. I volunteer as a tutor under the Mayor of London's scheme for underprivileged children - Let me tell you a secret There's nothing inherently difficult about school work, millions of students have done it before; the difficulty is in understanding it in the first place. It's my job as a tutor to make sure it's been properly understood and I am well-regarded for being able to achieve this. - Am I sure? Yes. That's why I offer a free lesson. It's not a 'meet the parents and chat over coffee' hour. It's an hour of getting to know the student and passing on my skills. You'll be back!

**Please note, I have limited availability however I am here as some free time has opened up unexpectedly. I am also new here so am offering two hours free tuition for my first three Maths students. This is two hours of lessons; not two hours of getting to know you. What have you got to lose?!** I am a firm believer that if you explain something to somebody they will forget it within minutes; whereas if you guide them along a path and tease it out of them then they will remember it for life (or at least until the exam). It's painful for a few minutes, but then the lightbulb comes on and never goes out. Little is more dispiriting than sitting with a tutor who says 'it's obvious'. I remember that only too well from my Cambridge days; I am not Einstein and recognise that most straight A* students aren't either. It's not always obvious; particularly if it's not been explained in a way the student understands. My biggest thrill in life is to take a student who says 'I don't get it' to a bright student who says 'Aha! How could I not have got it?' I have decades of experience with working with students of all ages up to Cambridge Undergraduate students from 7 years old. (And I have taught tax and accountancy to graduates too.) I am guided by what my students need help with. I can help with and supplement what they learn in class; I can revise old work, I can take them to new places. Or we can canter through an entire syllabus to look for the weak spots. I relish working closely with parents if they wish to manage the process, but equally am happy to take full charge.

James is very thorough, keen on ensuring good exam technique and knows his stuff. He was very helpful indeed!
James is passionate about teaching and his subjects. He had great belief in me and my ability, and I did better than I ever hoped. His lessons aren't dull, and he challenges you. Sign up with him!
James improved my grades rapidly over a short period. There is nowhere to hide in his lessons, which is quite intimidating, but the results spoke for themselves. Success doesn’t come without hard work and he really encouraged me!
James was helpful and attentive. He was happy to help outside the formal weekly hours and our child enjoyed lessons with him. Highly recommended!
