About James

Hi, I’m James. I’m a teacher and writer from the UK, and I genuinely enjoy helping people become more confident using English.

I’m friendly, relaxed and curious, and I like lessons to feel natural and engaging rather than like another hour in a classroom. I’m interested in people, so I’m just as happy discussing films, travel, work, culture or everyday life as I am working through a particular language problem.

I’ve spent years working in education, but I’m also a writer and screenwriter, so I have a particular love of words, stories and good conversation. I’m always interested in hearing about people’s lives and experiences, and I think that makes teaching English a lot more interesting too.

Outside of teaching and writing, I’m a big film and television fan, I love travelling, and I’m usually happiest having a good conversation over a coffee.

About the lesson

I help people use English with greater confidence, fluency and precision — whether that means having better conversations, writing more effectively, preparing for work or study, or simply feeling more at ease in English.

I’m a UK-qualified primary teacher with experience in London schools, as well as a writer and screenwriter. That combination gives me a practical understanding of how people learn and a strong instinct for language, communication and storytelling. I bring both into my teaching.

My lessons are tailored to the individual. We might work on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, build confidence through conversation, develop writing skills, or focus on a specific goal such as an interview, presentation or exam. I teach beginners through to advanced students, and I adapt the level and pace accordingly.

Most importantly, I want you to leave each lesson having actually used English — not just studied it. The aim is progress you can feel and language you can take straight into real life.

Outside teaching, I work professionally as a writer and screenwriter, so stories, films, television and books are naturally a big part of my world. I’m also endlessly curious about people and places, which tends to make for some pretty good conversations along the way.
