About James

- What kind of experience do you have?

For the past eight years I have accumulated over 3000 hours of tutoring experience. Most of my work involves bringing struggling students up to speed to pass exams at 11 or 13+. I also specialise in preparing students for scholarships to Eton, St Paul's and Winchester. I occasionally stay with clients for residential work too, usually over the summer.

Here is a short list of recent successful students:

Sussex House 12+ 2017
Wetherby Prep 10+ 2017
Down house 12+ 2017

The American school Amsterdam 2016

Eton King's scholarship 2015
Eton King's scholarship 2015

Winchester 13+ 2015

Eton King's scholarship 2014
Eton common entrance 2014

St Paul's scholarship 2014

13+ entrance to Dulwich College x2 2014
13+ entrance to Harrow 2014

A-level physics, entrance to Bristol University 2014
A-level maths, entrance to UCL 2014

- 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!

M.Sci from Bristol University in Physics and Philosophy

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

I use Skype and FaceTime for online tutoring. Also screen sharing with Skype allows me to give slideshows and show diagrams with powerpoint and keynote.

- 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.
