James
Certified Tutor
I'm a graduate of the University of Portsmouth where I received my Bachelor's Degree with First-Class Honours in English Literature and completed a Master's Degree in Literature the following year. Literature and language have always been great passions of mine and the skills I developed during my studies help me on a daily basis in creative writing and communication in general.
I firmly believe in the power of education and aim to make each lesson fun, relevant and tailored to the unique needs of every student. I also have experience tutor students with learning differences, including ADHD, Dslexia and Autism and aim to adapt each session to a student's individual learning style to maximise their potential.
I'm a professional guitarist and singer-songwriter with 20 years of experience playing guitar. I have been a self-employed musician for the last 6+ years, and in the time have performed at a wide variety of events and have toured extensively, performing covers and original music. I'm incredibly passionate about music and creativity and hope to play a role in helping the next generation share their passion and imagination.
