Biography
Was a double-scholar at Stamford Endowed Schools, Lincolnshire; subsequently spending nearly a year in Canada before going to The University of Nottingham to study Biochemistry, where I gained a 2:1. Currently working in major recording studios and running my own music recording and production business.
Personal Approach
I believe that all students need individual focus on their strengths and weaknesses, which is one of the major benefits of private tutoring. I try to tailor my approach, therefore, on the students' needs, and not on a preconceived plan. One of my main goals though, is to encourage and teach my students to attempt to solve any problems or questions they may have themselves, and prepare them for the world ahead. I do this through ensuring that core concepts are properly understood, as well as teaching them some study and research skills.
Testimonials
''James was excellent in every way and Rosie thinks she got a lot out of her sessions with him. He was also very efficient and punctual and of course, very charming and good company. Would highly recommend him.''
''I wish we had had James last year!''
''We would certainly recommend you and James to other people. He was right on my son’s wavelength, and very clear.''
''IB Chemistry)
Wils has finished his Chemistry work with James.
I would just like to say whatever the result, how very pleased and impressed we were with James. William said he was a great help and found it invaluable.
He has an interview at Brighton and Sussex medical School next week, the first we have heard from – much earlier than we thought, in fact.
I will also let you know what the IB result is when it comes.
We would heartily recommend James to any other boy we hear of who needs help with IB.''
''James is super!''
