About James
I am passionate about teaching in a way that ensures students make long-lasting progress. I take time to understand the needs of each child and then use my 25 years of experience to create tailored lessons.
I have taught in a wide range of schools in the UK, Spain and Dubai from years 1 to 9. I am very patient and teach at a pace that supports each child. My experience means I have a deep knowledge of how children learn and what the best quality teaching should consist of.
Learning with me is focused, fun and based on the best British Curriculum pedagogy. I am committed to high quality and value for money lessons.

I have a student-focused approach to lessons that are designed around each child's needs and goals. My lessons are interactive and engaging, with lots of practical learning combining clear teaching with supportive practice and real-life links. There are resources to use after the lesson to practice and embed skills for success.
Lessons are taught online and at a pace to suit each child to ensure deep understanding and to improve progress and grade outcomes. Each lesson is tailored to the needs of the child, with a clear focus on instilling confidence and success.
Lessons are usually 45 - 60 minutes, but I am flexible depending on the student's needs and age.
As a British teacher I have the NPQH Headteacher qualification and I have been teaching for 25 years, with 20 of those in Dubai. I am highly experienced in how to meet the expectations and standards required for exams, including the GL Progress Tests and NGRT.

James is a fantastic tutor. He is able to break learning down into small steps so that my child understands what he needs to do. The method he uses to ensure my child has retained strategies is fantastic, and my son is more confident with maths now. Thank you, James, for giving my son back his love of learning.
Passionate, hardworking, kind, and a true man of many talents — these are just some of the words I would use to describe Mr James.
He was my line manager for four amazing years, and during that time, I learned so much from his leadership, guidance, and approach to education. He consistently put students at the forefront of his work and always encouraged those around him to do the same.
Mr James has also left a lasting impact on our entire Primary School. He introduced practices, systems, and ways of working that continue to shape what we do today, even after his departure. For me, that is the true meaning of legacy — leaving behind a positive impact that continues to influence and inspire others.
I am truly grateful for the four years of learning, support, and professional growth under his leadership. His passion for education, commitment to students, and ability to bring people together are qualities that make him an exceptional educator and leader.
I would highly recommend Mr James for any role within education. Any school or organisation would be fortunate to have someone with his experience, passion, kindness, and commitment to making a difference.
Thank you, Mr James, for everything you taught us and for the lasting legacy you have left behind. Wishing you every success in your next chapter!James is an outstanding teacher always looking for creative ways to deliver high quality lessons, ensuring every individual gets the education they deserve. Having worked with James nearly 20 years, I can honestly say, he gives his all to teaching the students in his care.
