Hello! I’m James, an English language teacher and writer living in Scotland. I come from an academic background, having a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in English and American literature. That means I love reading and talking about books! I also enjoy going to the cinema; playing video games; spending time with friends and family; studying history, mythology and folklore; writing essays about popular culture and working on my novel.

Me as a Teacher
I'm a qualified English language teacher, with TEFL and CELTA teaching certificates. I have previously taught pre- and upper-intermediate English language learners in a classroom setting. I’ve been commended for my professionalism, friendliness, warmth and sense of humour. I listen closely to my students and work hard to help them improve their English.
My lessons & teaching style
I offer friendly and informal conversation-based tutoring for intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced learners. We’ll improve your fluency by focusing on your pronunciation, intonation, spoken English grammar, vocabulary, understanding of idioms, and anything else you need help with.
We can talk about the topics that interest you, or we can roleplay the conversations you need to practice. I can also help you with your reading and writing.
Whatever it is you need help with, tell me, and I’ll be happy to help!

James is very smart and kind teacher who listens to the meaning which I try to convey. He helps me to express my ideas. He makes an effort to understand what I aim to say and he then discusses with me the way how it sounds and gives options of how it could be written in a more appropriate way. Thank you!

I have experienced other tutors but I wasn’t satisfied. But I keep
Having lessons with him because he has something that I was looking for.
He is understanding, fully commit s and friendly ..and he speaks in a posh accent which sounds admirable.
Thank you for your excellent lesson!
