About James
I have A Levels in Maths, English Language, and Creative Writing as well as Grade 8 in Alto Saxophone (jazz syllabus) and Grade 5 in Music Theory.
I have experience working as a tutor for two former students in London (ages 6 and 15) and have been a Primary Teaching Assistant for two years now for various Primary Schools in North London and Bath. From my work as a nursery assistant and Primary Schools, I have taught children from ages 3 up to 9 1:1 as well as in groups.
I am currently studying a Creative Writing degree at Bath Spa University and have recently had my first poem published in the collection Lockdown Poetry, edited by Seema Gill and also including Benjamin Zephania. Creative Writing (writing and reading poetry, prose, fiction and non-fiction) has helped me grow as a person more than any other hobby.

The first lesson will be the foundation for constructing a productive learning environment, focusing on building a healthy, communicative relationship with the student. I will ask the student various questions about their experience on the given subject, and learning in general, in order to establish an understanding of what I should cover and how I can specialise my teaching style for them.
Following from this, the next couple of sessions will have a malleable approach, allowing me to adapt my own method to how this particular student is most likely listen, learn, and (most importantly) like the lessons.
I will construct a routine for the student to follow (not to be labelled as homework) in order to maintain their learning out of lessons and in the future.
My general philosophy with teaching is to put the student first. This does not mean sacrificing their lessons to provide a relaxed, laissez-faire environment, as this can easily halt any learning whatsoever. This means investing my time and energy into understanding what the student is struggling with and understanding how I should approach teaching them individually. With every student this includes promoting their learning (learning in general, not just the specified subject) through positive encouragement.

James is an excellent tutor. He’s encouraging, supportive and he makes the sessions enjoyable.
James is a great teacher, he has lots of patience and an open friendly attitude.
James Godwin has worked professionally as a theatre writer for the bull players. During this time he has been very trusted by all the company. He met deadlines and worked sensitively, creating material for our theatre productions. He is a creative script writer and an excellent tutor for several young members of the company taking exams in English, maths and saxophone. I thoroughly recommend him as a tutor.
