- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes. I can also provide references upon request.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
No.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
A home schooling student of mine has developed rapidly after we designed a personalised programme of at-home science experiments and demonstrations to put the syllabus in context.
A 12 year old student of mine found that he fell behind in maths so we are doing weekly lessons in-person to improve his understanding and exam technique. His progress is very encouraging, especieally the improvement in the presentation of his work.
A GCSE student of mine is having weekly Skype lessons so we can explore more advanced topics in maths and science. We frequently find ourselves working on A-Level content or otherwise interesting material which is not on the syllabus.
I am working on a creative construction course with a 12 year old boy. We work on science-based engineering challenges at home. We're building a radio controlled plane at the moment!

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I use Zoom and Skype for online tutoring. I also use an extra camera so students can see what I'm writing and also follow along with any practical work I'm doing for science.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Spend as much time as possible designing, making and taking things apart. You will learn so much more this way than staring at a textbook. Hands-on experience puts so much of science an maths in context, makes it easier to remember and makes it more fun.
Recommendations

I've known and worked alongside James for many years. He is one of the most competent and effective tutors I have ever known. Anyone can lecture and recite facts about their subjects. But this is not teaching. Real teaching calls for inspiration, motivation, and a true love of learning. James crafts education through experiences, experiments, and engaged thought. He digs deep and goes far beyond the textbook to help students create meaningful connections that they will never forget. These connections go on to serve academic success and fire a drive that lasts far into their futures. If you are looking for a tutor that can take students to an entirely different level, then I have no hesitation in recommending James!
James is professional, organised and well-prepared. He has extensive knowledge of the subjects that he teaches and he conveys his interest and enthusiasm in them to his students.
My son very much looked forward to his FaceTime/Skype lessons with himEton scholarship papers are extremely challenging and my son's school did not provide satisfactory preparation. The outcome of the exams has been fantastic and my son was awarded a scholarship in a year that had a record number of scholarship candidates. I found James to be extremely thorough, intelligent and professional at all times. My son liked very much working with him and always enjoyed their sessions. James picked up immediately some of my son's weaknesses during their first session.
We brought James in when our son struggled after changing schools. He improved rapidly and achieved top grades in Maths and Science.
Understanding concepts in advance of them being taught made a huge difference. I could not recommend James highly enough and he will be with us every term for the foreseeable future.View more recommendations
