/ James A.
I am a friendly and energetic teacher with over 10 years experience teaching students in both Primary and lower Secondary school. As I worked in international schools I can help students whose first language is not English I spent many years teaching Primary students the full curriculum and also taught mathematics to Years 7-9.
I can tutor A Level Law students having been a Solicitor for 16 years and a Barrister for 2 years.
I am happy to tutor students virtually or face to face.
Over the last 20 years I’ve penned thousands of news stories, features, reviews and in-depth interviews.
I’m now studying an MA in Travel and Nature Writing at Bath Spa University and pitching travel and wellbeing features to newspapers and magazines.
English Literature, English, and Media Studies lessons in Torquay, UK.
English and English literature lessons in Exeter, UK.
I specialise in preparing KS4 students for GCSE exams and have taught AQA for many years and more recently the new EDEXCEL www.*** for English Language.
My main job is as a teacher-trainer at Plymouth Marjon university where I train English teachers. Additionally, I run creative writing workshops and can offer job interview coaching and help with writing strong applications.
I love learning and, equally, to inspire this feeling in others too. I also strongly believe that social development and creativity are as important as academic learning. If you are reading this, you must be considering getting help with learning of some sort, whether for you or for someone close to you. It would be a privilege to help!
I worked as a primary school teacher for 14 years and loved sharing the learning journey with the young people I taught. My approach is often playful – there is so much to be learnt using games and humour – and success relies on building relationships, agreeing goals and together working out how to reach them. Sometimes the goal might just be to travel forwards and enjoy the journey; at other times there may be a more specific target.
The best moments as a teacher are “the lightbulb moments” when something clicks in the learning and new connections are made. My goal is always to instil self-confidence in learners, to build positively on what they already know and can do, and to help them to believe that they can learn whatever they want to learn.
I am a qualified and experienced teacher. Although I have worked in secondary/ middle schools, the majority of my teaching has been in primary schools. I have worked in mainstream schools with a wide range of children. I have coordinated enrichment programmes for gifted and talented pupils. I have supported pupils preparing for grammar school exams. I have written and managed education plans for learners with dyslexia and dyscalculia, autistic spectrum conditions and other social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
As a class teacher, I taught across the spectrum of the National Curriculum, with particular focus on progress in Reading, Writing and Maths. As the school coordinator for the teaching and learning of English for many years, I rolled out various strategies to develop reading for pleasure and to make the learning of grammar and spelling fun, fun, fun! Prior to that, I enjoyed roles as the school lead on Science, History and DT. However, my guilty pleasure is a love of numbers, the application of Maths, in games and puzzles, and the Art of Maths.
I am a parent, the most important job/ experience in the whole world.
Prior to teaching, I was an architect. More recently, I have established myself as an artist, specialising in the publication of greeting cards and fine art prints.

Making learning accessible, engaging and relevant is, in my opinion, fundamental to the success and the development of every child, supporting academic achievement and the nurturing of fully rounded individuals to be all they can be. For this to happen, I believe that our curriculum needs to be a relevant and rewarding experience; adapted to ensure inclusion and providing the opportunity to develop academically and personally while experiencing success and challenge on a day-to-day basis. It allows pupils to develop their confidence, self-esteem, organisation, and determination which they can transfer into other aspects of their lives. It is from this desire to do well and lead healthy lifestyles that further success can follow.
I have always had a passion for PE as a subject with many different aspects and opportunities for the wide range of children in the school to be challenged and to feel success. This has led me to opportunities to work beyond the school, something I think is crucial in order to reflect deeply on all aspects of teaching, learning and school leadership as well as to provide varied experiences for our children.
Throughout my career, I have valued strong pastoral systems in schools; I have experience at guiding pupils through the peaks and troughs that school life can afford. Key to this support is good communication - between school and parents/guardians, between different staff members and, where appropriate, with outside agencies. Ultimately, I want to ensure that every child has a successful educational experience in my class and throughout the school.

I have been an English Tutor for Foreign Language Students for almost four years now, but am looking to expand my expertise in tutoring to other students and languages. I am still very interested in teaching English langauge to Foreign Language Students, but would also like to share my Language skills and knowledge with other learners.
I studied French and Spanish as my undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter, where I graduated in 2023. This four-year degree has given me a great deal of confidence in both Languages, particualrly through having a Year Abroad where I worked as an English Teacher in a Secondary School and Professional College (teaching young adults). Alongside my degree, I consistently worked as an English Tutor and have built up my teaching style and resource bank for students. I am particularly proud of my students and what they have gone on to achieve - from developing their English language to allow them to build a life in England and flee from war-stricken areas, to nurtuting students to pass their TEFL qualifications and other various exams. I am a determined and (quite!) competitive individual, which I beleive rubs off onto students and encourages them to study and pass their GCSE's or A-level exams.
I have worked with children and young adults of all ages (from 4 years old to 22 years old) and have tutored adults in English Conversation Classes for nearly three years. I am therefore very adaptable when it comes to my students and their needs.
Last year, I passed my Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PgDL) with a Distinction, and I am happy to say that I am also available for tutoring in this disciplie. A three-year Law Undergraduate Degree in just nine months is a particular challenge, and I know that I would have appreciated some help and tutoring at points, so please do let me know if this is something that I can be of any help with.
I look forward to meeting you and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions! :)
