About James

I’m a qualified UK teacher and native English speaker with 10 years’ teaching experience. I passed my PGCE with Distinction and have taught in a range of schools in London, working with students of different ages, abilities and backgrounds.

Alongside teaching, I’m a professional writer. I hold an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia (UEA), home to one of the world’s most renowned Creative Writing programmes, where I was awarded a scholarship to study.

That combination of teaching and writing shapes the way I teach English. I’m particularly interested in helping students not only speak accurately, but communicate naturally and confidently — choosing the right words, understanding nuance and expressing what they actually want to say.

I teach students from beginner level through to advanced English, including those preparing for IELTS and Cambridge examinations, as well as students who simply want to improve their English for everyday life, work or study.

I’m patient, relaxed and encouraging, but I also believe in giving useful, specific feedback. My job isn’t simply to have a conversation with you for an hour: it’s to understand where your English is now, where you want it to be, and help you make measurable progress towards it.

About the lesson

Every student learns English for a different reason, so every lesson begins with your goals.

You might be preparing for IELTS or a Cambridge exam, developing your English for work or university, improving your writing, or simply wanting to speak more naturally and confidently in everyday conversation.

Depending on what you need, our lessons can focus on:

IELTS and Cambridge exam preparation
speaking, fluency and conversation
pronunciation and confidence
vocabulary and natural British English
grammar in real-life contexts
professional and workplace English
academic and creative writing
reading and comprehension

For conversation students, we’ll spend plenty of time actually speaking. But this isn’t simply an informal chat with a native English speaker. I’ll listen carefully to how you use English, identify recurring problems and help you improve your vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and natural expression.

For exam students, lessons will be structured around the skills and techniques required for the exam, while also developing the underlying English that will help you beyond the test itself.

And because I’m both a qualified teacher and a professional writer, I can offer particularly detailed support with written English — from sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary to clarity, style and communicating complex ideas effectively.

Most importantly, I want you to leave each lesson with something specific that has improved and something you can actually use.

I offer a free 30 minute initial consultation so we can discuss your level, your goals and what you’d like to achieve before your first lesson.

James's response
Had a fantastic first lesson with Katie. Was 90 minutes of Creative Writing, and the time just flew by. She is eager to learn, open to challenge and was a pleasure to teach (I even learned a thing or two myself ). Thanks Katie!

James is a fantastic teacher — warm, encouraging and genuinely interested in helping people develop their own voice. He has a real talent for creative writing and gives thoughtful, practical feedback without ever taking over the work. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to develop their writing or their confidence as a writer.

As a writer as well as a tutor, James brings a particularly thoughtful understanding of English to their teaching. He has an intuitive feel for language and can explain not just what works, but why it works. James therefore has the ability to help with both everyday communication and the finer details of writing, expression, and style.

James and I were teachers at St Luke's primary school in London. He was a very warm and supportive teacher to all of his students really taking the time to get to know them and what makes them tick. He has a great nature and way with all students and wants everyone to be their best. A great memory was our world book day dress up day and James really showed imagination and made the day a success.

I have known James for over a couple of decades now. I have watched his journey as a teacher, a creative, and a producer and really appreciate his ability to reinvent himself and his wholehearted commitment to every project.

He is genuinely a delight to be around with a wicked sense of humor. He is immensely capable, and I have no doubt that he would only add to the self-confidence and learning of those who choose to study with him.

After two years living in the UK, I was still not confident with my English! Having James’s lessons was a game changer. I have improved my English and now I work as a reader and screenwriter in the UK.
