Jamie is an excellent teacher for my daughter. He provides well-structured, rigorous and ambitious teaching and has a mature approach. My daughter tells me that she didn’t have a minute to think of something else (good!) and couldn’t get away with evasive or half answers. As a result, she progressed well in a short interval and I am now optimistic that, guided by Jamie over the next year, she will improve her grades.
Thank you so much and I've been so happy with your daughter's progress in Latin. Her technique and understanding of the language has improved massively and I am looking forward to seeing how far she can push herself.

I’m so thrilled with your son’s end of year results and I’ve really enjoyed our sessions together. He’s improved so much and I really look forward to continuing working on his English.
From Jenny
Jamie has been tutoring my 10 year old son over the summer holidays. Jamie is calm and concise and his patience is unwavering. He comes prepared with challenging material to each session but breaks it down in such a way that my son really enjoys each session and actually looks forwards to them. My son has been learning so much from Jamie and it’s great to see his confidence grow.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’ve been really impressed with how much your son has come on and I’m glad you have been happy with the sessions so far. I look forward to continuing!

We had a 3 lessons so far and I can already tell a significant improvement in my son's writing. Jamie is articulate, patient, easy to talk to and very experienced. He is able to keep my son engaged introducing different knowledge and learning points in each lesson which makes the lessons interesting and valuable. I can't wait to see the long term benefits in having Jamie as our tutor as I think he will do an amazing job not just helping my son with his creative writing but also in speaking, grammar and English in general. Thank you so much!
That's so kind of you to say Kathy. I've had such a lovely time working with your son and it's incredible how much improvement he's made already. I'm eager to see how far he can go over the next year!

There’s great improvement in my 8 year old daughter’s creative writing in just couple of few lessons. We are glad and hopeful that she continue to keep on improving. We are glad that we found Jamie and are thankful to him for taking her under his wings and mentoring her with great patience.
Thank you very much Neha and I am likewise thrilled with her progress in only a couple of lessons. I really look forward to continuing as I have enjoyed teaching her a lot and I've loved reading her stories so far!
From Rawan
Jamie has been absolutely amazing. He has been preparing my daughter for 11+ exam for the last two months. He is highly knowledgeable, professional, and well organised. Jamie is approachable and always provides insightful feedback on my daughter’s progress. My daughter always looks forward to his lessons.
We feel lucky to have him and highly recommend him.
I'm delighted that you and your daughter have been so pleased with our sessions. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with her and seeing her flourish. I've been so impressed with her improvement both in writing and comprehension. I can't wait to continue preparing for the 11+ soon!
From Yanan
Jamie is a very good tutor to teach my 8 year old daughter writing. He has a structured way to teach her. He is very patient with her as well. Not only does he help her go through each sentence but also teach her the methods on how to write. I like that he asks her to make notes during each lesson as I think this is something she should learn for any subject.
He is always approachable and open minded to discuss about my daughter's writing. He is good at spotting her problems in writing and finding a smart way to help her improve. As my daughter said Jamie told her what the problem is and how to improve it which she found very helpful comparing with other teachers.
I would definitely recommend him.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. It's been such a pleasure working with your daughter and seeing her writing improving already!
From Julie
My son has grown and grown in his confidence with Latin since Jamie started tutoring him. He is always bouncy and smiley after every lesson. He really enjoys his time with Jamie and feels he is getting a lot from it. He feels much more confident in his Latin lessons at school now. I am really glad we found Jamie.
I'm really glad to hear how much he's taken to the sessions and how much he's grown in confidence. He's been a delight to teach and the level of his Latin has shot up already!
From Philip
Jamie is a fantastic tutor and has helped our daughter prepare for her A Level Latin exam. He has a great approach and has helped her to improve on targeted areas in a focused and constructive way.
Jamie has the prefect combination of complete mastery of the subject, an understanding of the exam format, and the ability to communicate this in a way that has made a big difference to improve her abilities and confidence. Thank you, and highly recommended!
Thanks so much for your kinds words. I've been so happy with how far she's progressed already after only a few sessions. I've really enjoyed teaching her and I'm excited to continue to work together until her final exams!
From Tasha
Jamie has been an amazing tutor for my son and I feel so lucky to have found him. He has only been teaching my son (year 8) for a few weeks but I can already see a huge improvement in his essay/creative writing and the best part is that his confidence and enthusiasm are growing too. Jamie always gives him clear feedback and discusses with him how he could improve his writing. My son is always looking forward to lessons with Jamie.
It's been absolutely fantastic to see how far he's come along already after only a few sessions. He's been brilliant to teach and I really look forward to continuing to work together and to seeing how far he can progress in the rest of our time together!
From Liz
From the start, Jamie was well prepared, asked all the right questions when starting, so that he could gain insight into how best he could support. He brings an enthusiastic energy to the subject and has an engaging approach when tutoring. He has been tutoring my daughter for a few weeks, she is really enjoying his lessons. Thank you for your support.
I'm so happy she's enjoying the lessons so much. She's been such a pleasure to teach so far and I'm looking forward to continuing!
From A
Jamie has been nothing short of exemplary with his tutoring. My children cannot wait for the next lesson as they enjoy working with him so much. His standards are extremely high and he expects the same from his tutees.They boys have fun while being engaged, challenged and made to think critically during every single lesson. Jamie is very organized and always responds to any query the boys have. It is hard to imagine that we had to go through so many different tutors to find Jamie. We only wished we could have found him sooner. He teaches the boys on a weekly basis for which we are grateful. Thank you!
I am sorry it took so long to find the right tutor but I’m thrilled that the boys have taken to our sessions so well and am very glad they look forward to them so much. I can’t wait to continue challenging and pushing them moving forwards!

From H
Jamie is an outstanding Latin tutor!
I needed a Latin tutor for my son (age 11). My son started Latin in year 7 but his Latin teacher at school went off sick and he had a number of cover teachers throughout the year. I was looking for someone to go over the year’s syllabus, work out what my son needed help with, and boost his confidence.
I chose Jamie off the website and found exactly what I was looking for! Over 4 lessons, Jamie quickly assessed what level my son was at, explained grammar in a way he could understand, and showed him how to go about translating. By the time he was finished, my son was more confident about Latin than any other subject, and went on to get 38/40 in his test.
I can’t recommend Jamie highly enough. He is personable, knows his subject inside out and most importantly is a brilliant teacher.
From Irmie
Jamie is an extremely professional tutor who has tailored lessons to my son's needs. Jamie has used the right balance of firmness and encouragement to keep my son on task and my son has enjoyed his lessons with Jamie. My son has made tremendous progress with Jamie and moreover has learnt to love Latin. Jamie provides excellent feedback and clear homework setting tasks after each lesson. He is also very punctual starting lessons online at precisely the agreed time. I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough.

From Liza
Jamie is an excellent tutor I couldn't recommend him highly enough. James has excelled at creating an enjoyable lesson plan, and very well structured and tailored to my daughter's needs.
Jamie always leaves a detailed feedback at the end of the session, explaining what what had been done and what needs doing for homework.
Jamie always making sure that she understands every single word. His ways of teaching and approaches has helped my daughter gained confidence.
I am very happy with my choice and would highly recommend Jamie as an English tutor.
Her mother Liza
Jamie is spectacular as a tutor, in my experience an English one. What I like is, he asks me if I don't understand anything instead of me having to speak up. Writing was my enemy and now it is my friend. When I was given a writing homework (befor having him as a tutor) I turned my face away but now I take it and finish very quickly He gives me confidence in my work and i really enjoy learning with him.

From Abraham
Jamie is a very friendly and approachable person . He is also a good listener whom my daughter finds very comfortable and free to communicate with. Since my 9 year old started lessons with him, her comprehension and essay writing skills improved significantly .Every session with him is so informative and her work is always discussed in detail .I believe he is the best tutor. Mum
““I really like being taught by Jamie since he comments on my work and tells me what to improve on .When I First met him I was quite nervous as I thought that he would be one very serious guy, but he is a very amiable and kind-hearted person. He also made me have a great desire to improve on my comprehension and it actually helped! I now find it very easy (even though I sometimes make silly mistakes)”. Ruth
From Camelia
Jamie is passionate about Latin and makes the mundane memorization interesting. He is not only a good teacher, with the right technique, but he is also approachable, always happy to share exam tips. My son loves this, as impact is double. He has progressed a lot in 4-5 sessions to the point of considering sitting a scholarship exam in Latin! Thank you, Jamie.
From giada
Jamie, is a pleasure to be around and the kids are always happy to do work with him. He is well organised and manages to move things forward even when it can be harder with the littles ones like in the case of my 7y old.
