About James

Hi there, I'm James and I have taught maths for over 12 years in state schools, private schools, and as a tutor, all the way from primary up to A level. I left the full-time classroom in 2022 in search of a better work-life balance but my love for teaching has not diminished, so now I return to tutoring. As a person I am patient, positive, and easy to talk to. I encourage positivity and conversation using sound mathematical language with all my students - if I had a penny for every time I've heard "I get it but I can't explain it"... My explanations are clear and simple - using plenty of plain language too - and as a result my students learn to think clearly and mathematically. There is no one-size-fits-all method for teaching, and so I draw on many teaching styles: sometimes constructivist (take something you know and develop it), sometimes discovery-based (try things out and look for patterns); at times Socratic (asking lots of questions), and at others didactic (telling you exactly what you need to know); sometimes using pencil and paper, sometimes digital; and always, always, always, a mixture of showing clear, orderly working and drawing diagrams. I find this versatile and varied approach allows each of my students to latch on to what works best for them. I mentioned that I always draw diagrams, and that's really important because diagrams are an extremely efficient way to link together multiple concepts. This matters because a common stumbling block for students who engage me as a tutor is the sheer quantity of maths that have to remember. By understanding the connections between topics I show my students that a lot of what they're asked to learn is actually just the same thing said another way; when you see things as connected they're easier to learn. Plus, as a bonus, you'll have a much deeper understanding of it too. And in my experience students who have a deep, connected understanding of maths find it much more enjoyable. I have tutored students who needed help with a specific topic, and others who wanted ongoing support to build their confidence. I enjoy getting to know them and sharing my love of maths with them all the same. So whether you need me for a few lessons or a few years, I look forward to working with you and getting you awesome at maths. Speak to you soon!
