I am a multilinguist with considerable experience in teaching French and Spanish to a diverse range of students. I have a 100% success rate in terms of my students improving their academic grades.
I am extremely passionate about my subject and committed to understanding and engaging with each new student's learning needs. I tailor my individual teaching programmes to ensure each student is able to develop and move confidently towards their goal, whether it be academic or personal.
I choose to work with students who are committed to working towards their goal - they don't have to love the subject to begin with, they just have to want to improve, the love comes later, often when they discover how simple it can be and they start to see improvements in their ability and understanding!
Among my previous students are Yas, a Spanish GCSE student who went from a predicted D to receiving an A* overall in 14 months, Roderick, who with no prior teaching since his French GCSE 16 months before we began, received an A* at French A Level after 7 months of home-schooling with me and Kendall, a French IB student who went from grade 3/4 to achieving a final grade 6/7 in 20 months - she called me up in Guatemala on results day so I knew it must be good news!
Testimonials:
"James tutored both my daughters for GCSE Spanish and they both received A*. This was particularly impressive with my eldest daughter who was on a Grade D at the end of Year 10. James accelerated Yasmin's learning rapidly over 6 months in Year 11, and changed her attitude towards Spanish from a boring difficult subject to her favourite! Aside from his in-depth understanding of the curriculum and effective teaching techniques, James is a lovely person with a great sense of humour, and the girls really enjoyed his company. We'd highly recommend James to anyone wanting to improve their grades and language skills."
Zaya F - Spanish GCSE
"James was simply brilliant in giving my son confidence in his ability to learn languages, which ultimately led to GCSE success. He possesses a magical ability to build self-esteem. Invaluable. Fabulous. Very highly recommended."
Donna G – French & Spanish IGCSE
"James tutored me in French for just over a year for the international baccalaureate. Marked out of 7, I originally achieved 3-4s in all my examinations. James helped with reading, writing and oral presentations. He helped me to increase my confidence in speaking and also taught me invaluable techniques for verb conjugations. In the end I was able to achieve a 6/7 in my final IB results. Thank you James !"
Kendall U - French International Baccalaureate
"James was instrumental in getting my son to an A* for his Spanish A Level this year. Over a period of 8 months James worked to improve Omar’s original predicted grade of B, focussing on some core grammar which had been missed by the school and developing his reading, writing and oral skills. James often made himself available at short notice to review and offer feedback on Omar’s practice essays for the literature part of the course. We are delighted with the result and with the high level of professional service that James provides. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend."
Mehta F - Spanish A Level
“My daughter Chloe was struggling with Spanish during year 11, she failed her mock and was really worried. We found James and he worked steadily with her for the three months leading up to her GCSE. I’m delighted to say she achieved a 6(B)!! Incredible...a fail to a B in only 25 hours tutoring! Thank you James, she couldn’t have done it without you!”
Beth W – Spanish GCSE
James tutored my daughter for just over a year at French Pre-U. Our aim was to secure a comfortable distinction. James knew the syllabus inside out and ensured no stone had been left unturned in her knowledge and exam technique. We were delighted but not too surprised when the final result came back a D1. We’re thrilled with James, his approach and the care he brings to each session. Such a star.
Mikael J – Cambridge Pre U French
"James is an amazing teacher. He got my daughter to a B in French GCSE from a predicted D, and my son to a B in Spanish GCSE from a predicted E. This helped my daughter to get to UCL and put the Russell Group within my son's reach. His teaching style is unique. Within minutes of arrival, he had won the respect of both my teenagers. He made himself available at weekends and in the evenings both in person and over Skype. I am so grateful for his help. I highly recommend him."
Rachel G - French & Spanish GCSE
"James is an outstanding teacher - he taught my son to find his own motivation & the confidence he needed to excel in Spanish. He brings the language to life and creates a self sufficiency in study habits that was wonderful to observe - the GCSE process was made palatable and non daunting ! I would wholly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor that cares about the child in the most holistic sense and leaves them with the skills to tackle languages independently post their time with him - he was an absolute star !"
Shaleen Y - Spanish IGCSE
"James is one of the best tutors I have ever met. He is clearly passionate about teaching and has such an engaging and enthusiastic manner. Anyone who is lucky enough to come across James has found a true gem. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Helen S - Spanish GCSE

I am currently a business lecture at UCB , however, I have experience of teaching primary, secondary, 11 plus and assignment support at HE level. Teaching has always been a passion and I am extremely dedicated to my job role. I enjoy all types of teaching and have taught all ages and in all types of environments. Alongside teaching English, maths, and science, etc, I also like to focus on the child’s holistic development which I believe is pivotal. I also do private tutoring online on one to one basis and group sessions.
I like to teach my children through joyful interaction which assists them in reaching their full potential and achieving above and beyond their level of expectations. I have seen dramatic improvements from children who started off with very little or no English-speaking skills at all in becoming the highest achievers, furthermore, receiving recognition and awards in their educational institutions. I am very soft-hearted towards the children I teach, nevertheless, this does not mean that they can get away with not completing their studies.
I am extremely flexible and can easily adapt quickly to new situations. You will find me highly empathic towards the children and very understanding, regardless of their age. All people big or small should be treated with the utmost respect. I do my best to dedicate my spare time to supporting charity events, group talks, and teaching children.

I have been working with young people for over 4 years now and have gained a well rounded portfolio of experience. I have been grateful to receive wonderful feedback from students, parents and colleagues!
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Bristol with a BSc in psychology & philosophy. I worked at a TEFL Language school where I designed a cultural programme for students and was the chief point of contact as a mentor. Additionally, I worked in the SEN department at a London secondary school supporting students with all Key Stages including A Level & IB. I have worked with students who have aspergers, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, sight-impairment and physical disability’s.
A few examples of previous tutoring jobs:
- Mentored a teenager over an 8 month period.
- Tutored full time for the past 3 years as a subject generalist with an emphasis on the arts and humanities subjects. I have taught the core KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 and KS5 syllabuses. Covering all subjects such as art, philosophy, psychology, history, english literature & language, maths, chemistry, biology, physics. I have also done A level and IB tuition for subjects such as history, philosophy, english, art and psychology.
- I have worked full time as a home school tutor teaching the core subjects, arts & humanities for ages 5, 7, 9, 11 & 14.
- I homeschooled two brothers from a high profile family and prepared them for the English curriculum (from the American system). I taught english literature & language , R.E, art, politics and current affairs, textiles and took them on educational excursions. They also had to pass school entrance exams 11+, 13+, both successfully.
- I homeschooled two sisters ages 7 & 9 and taught all the core subjects as well the arts and humanities. I prepared the youngest for her 7 + exams which she successfully passed.
My students have gone on to excel in many subjects but especially creative writing and critical thinking. One student of mine was refusing to write at his previous school but after a year of working together he gained entrance to a top London school and is now currently the top of his class for English and is particularly confident with his creative writing. Another student of mine has gone on to win poetry competitions. My teaching style is engaging, innovative and supportive. I try to instill confidence and academic curiosity in my students, as I believe this is equally important to achieving top marks.
* Fun fact about me: I paint professionally and pursue writing when I’m not tutoring.
I am now keen to take on more students and would love the opportunity to work with you! Once we have been in touch and established something my response time will be very rapid. However because I am very busy it might initially take a little longer to respond so I'm sorry for that! Should be worth the wait though.

I am a qualified teacher. I have a doctoral degree in science from the Manchester University. I have also obtained a Master’s degree, in biomedical science and a Bachelor’s degree (in Genetics ) from the University of Sheffield (UK). I have completed a postgraduate course in education and gained my qualified teacher status from Manchester University. Currently , i am a science teacher in a UK mainstream school. My career has provided me with a rich variety of teaching opportunities. i have been involved in teaching and training of undergraduate students in different science subjects including biology , chemistry and physics at both Sheffield and Manchester Universities. I have lots of experience of teaching Key Stage 3 , GCSE and Alevel pupils in both mainstream and private schools in UK.
I have thought Science subjects ( physics , chemistry and biology) to Key Stage 4 and Key stage 5 students , preparing them for GCSE and A levels exams.I always make sure my students have the prior knowledge required to understand a new topic. All of the topics in science subjects are related and just get complicated as the students progress to higher level. So it is essential for students to have a solid prior knowledge for the new topics they are learning.
It is also essential to apply pupils knowledge to exam questions all the time to make sure that they know how to use key terminologies and answer those important questions in the exam. The mark schemes is very specific for GCSE and Alevel exams and the students often dont know how to answet the question properly despite having the knowledge .So it is vital that they practise those questions after they gained the knowledge with an experienced teacher to secure a high grade in exams.
I practice this with my KS3 students aswell so they get into habit of how to use key terms to answer questions.

I am a fourth year medical student studying at King's College London.
I studied at Nonsuch High School for Girls for both GCSEs and A-Levels. In my GCSEs, I attained 6 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s and 2 grade 7s. After completing A-Levels, I obtained 2 A* in Maths and Chemistry and an A in Biology. I enjoy tutoring as I have the opportunity to see my students step out of their comfort zone and reach their potential.
I have 3 years tutoring experience for children ranging between the ages 5-16, teaching subjects including Mathematics, English, GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Chemistry and 11+.
My lessons are tailored to the student's needs and every lesson, I will ask the student if there's any particular topic they need help so that I can plan my lessons accordingly. Before moving onto another topic, I will give mini-tests to make sure the student has thoroughly understood a specific topic. During my lessons, I will give exam advice and will go through exam-style questions to help them see different ways of tackling them. At the end of the lesson, I also provide feedback to the students and these can also be given to parents/carers if needed.

How do I prepare my child for the Common Entrance?
The 11+ Common Entrance exam can be daunting for children and their families, as it's one of the first times they'll undergo a real timed assessment. It's better to over-prepare than under-prepare when it comes to the 11+ exams. Make sure your child is confident on all the content and has practiced in exam conditions so they're able to manage their time properly on the day. Whilst being prepared is important, you don't want your child stressing over the exam, so it's important to take frequent breaks and make revision fun with rewards and snacks. Your 11 plus tutor will guide you on all necessary techniques.
What is the 11 plus Common Entrance?
The 11 plus Common Entrance assessments are the exams required to get into specific secondary schools. Children will take these entrance exams in Year 6 to determine their place at senior independent schools. The 11 plus Common Entrance exams will assess children on verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, English and mathematics. The 11 plus tests are designed to assess children's academic potential. They will often be the first proper exams your child has sat so enlisting the help of an 11 plus tutor is a good idea.
Why Tutor House tutors?
Our tutors have years of experience helping students prepare for the Common Entrance exams and have a track record of success in helping students get into top secondary schools. Preparing for the 11 plus can be tough, but our tutors are here to support you every step of the way.
Are you thinking about getting a 11+ or 13+ Common Entrance tutor?
Common Entrance preparation is very important, it's key to take at least a year preparing for the entrance tests. Tutor House can help with every step of the 11+ and 13+ tests. With a Common Entrance tutor, your child can get access to Common Entrance past papers and gain confidence in their own revision and exam technique.
Common Entrance exams and the preparation for those exams can be a minefield. Parents should check the open days for the schools that they wish to apply to and endeavour to visit the schools and listen to the Headteachers talk. This will enable them to get a good overview and a feel for the school and help them decide if this place would suit their child's’ personality and academic ability. (We offer a personalised service for parents who would like the expert advice of one of our experienced tutors). Most schools have a selection procedure that can be very competitive.
Getting the right support for your child for their 11 plus or 13 plus Common Entrance exam is vital to make sure your child gets accepted into the top secondary school of their choice. Whether your child needs to boost their grades significantly or needs that extra bit of support coming up to the big day, Tutor House can provide you with top-quality 11 plus and 13 plus tutors to get your child the results they both want and need. Our tutors are well used to preparing children for the next step in their education making sure their students are confident in all topics covered in both the 11 plus and 13 plus Common Entrance exams. These exams set your children up for the rest of their education, therefore, at this stage, it’s so important to consider whether your child would benefit from the support and teaching from an experienced 11 plus or 13 plus tutor.
At Tutor House, we provide both online and in-person one-on-one tutoring sessions and pride ourselves on the high quality and experience of our 11 plus and 13 plus tutors. We ensure that every tutor we provide has been DBS checked and can provide your, or your child, with the support they deserve when investing in their education. With our unique online learning facilities getting common entrance exam support has never been easier. Our tutors provided one-on-one tailored teaching to their students and will be matched with your child with our unique algorithm to ensure our tutor is the perfect match for your child's needs.
