I'd highly recommend James to any student needing help with their English course. Within my first two lessons, I've been given feedback to help me understand and improve my current essay's and now have a far better understanding of Scot's Poetry. His lessons are engaging and he takes the time to explain techniques in a clear and understandable way. I now feel far more comfortable studying the subject and able to achieve an A.
From Sajid
Excellent tutoring skills. My child was struggling in National 5. Few months of tutoring pre pandemic and she scored really well in all assessments and raised here level to B. Even without any more tutoring since then, she is getting A in her higher assessments.

I am extremely pleased with James. His experience and knowledge of subject is invaluable. His style is a perfect fit for our daughter and we will definitely continue to work with James.
From Tanya
James is a great tutor. My son has just sat his N5 exam and hopefully passed with good marks. James has helped to develop a deeper understanding of the exam structure and its requirements. He explains the material in an easy to understand way which provided a lot of confidence to face the exam.
From Nicola
Jamie has been a great support for my daughter approaching her English higher exam. He was willing to travel to different locations as suited her schedule, and to organise extra sessions at short notice. He is very dedicated, and is both able to reassure and instil enthusiasm in his tutees. My daughter would also like to add: I found Jamie to be an incredibly helpful and approachable tutor. When I didn’t understand something he was very patient and clear in his explanation, and my appreciation for the texts grew as I worked with him. I think that even someone who struggles with English would gain a better understanding from receiving tutoring from Jamie, and I greatly enjoyed my time with him.
