"James goes above and beyond to help me with any doubts I’ve encountered during the A level course and no one has been able to explain it in a more direct, concise and easy to understand way."

"You have been instrumental in raising her grades and she has learnt so much more from you than tutors she has had in the past."

With a 1st class Engineering degree from Cambridge University, first hand experience in the classroom and over 10 years experience in 1-1 tuition, I am very passionate about growing effective relationships with students to help them achieve their absolute best. Based in the London Borough of Bexley but servicing clients all around the world with online lessons, I offer GCSE tutoring from age 14 (year 9) and go right up to University application preparation. I enjoy tailoring my teaching methods to suit each individual's needs and nurturing their sense of self confidence.

Thanks to my diverse career path, I am able to put maths and physics into a real world context from my own experiences. From working in the Special Effects Industry for Film and TV to Toy Design at the LEGO Group, I have found that putting numbers into an interesting and creative context really inspires a newfound sense of enthusiasm for the subject matter and with it a thirst for learning the content. I have a track record of improving student grades and securing them places at top universities.

GCSE / A-level Physics

My Reviews

Responsive, organised, enthusiastic, competent, clear

Written by Diarmuid C

I have tried out a number of tutors for one off lessons on Tutorfair and one of its leading competitor's sites for Physics A level tuition for my VI Form College son. James stood out from the outset for his organisation and prompt, clear communication. He wasn't available immediately -- in fact we had to wait several months -- but we persisted and the reports on initial lessons suggest it was worth the wait. My son says that he is enthusiastic and -- most importantly -- explains the topics clearly, in a way that according to my son his teacher at school fails to do. He was clearly better than the several other tutors we tried, and as a University Prof myself have some idea what to look for.

Subject: Physics (A-Level)

Outcome: We went with James for regular lessons

Teacher support at SPF

Written by Judith A

James supported my class of Year 11 students studying A/S Maths. He visited once per week for a double lesson. James very quickly developed an excellent rapport with the class. He was confident, sensitive, approachable and extremely helpful. The students thoroughly enjoyed his support and we're extremely attentive in the sessions where I encouraged James to lead the teaching. He is a natural teacher who easily sets Maths in a practical context. I thoroughly recommend him as a tutor.

 

Subject: Maths

Outcome: The students achieved excellent A/S grades.

Very happy. James teaches well and creates significant interest.

James has been helping our 17 year old son for the last few months and has produced great results. It has allowed our son to deepen his understanding of the subject, develop a more intuitive approach and James knowledge has been stellar with a strong ability to teach and widen the scope of understanding and interest.

Subject: Engineering

Outcome: Well prepared for university Interviews
