121 Study Skills Tutor/Special education mentor with PGCE and 4 years support experience at HE level

I've been working with James for the past 2 years of my degree, he's provided support and guidance throughout this time and has really helped me improve my essay writing and presentation skills. I'd always recommended him as a tutor to anyone who might asks.

James helped me feel confidence, stay calm and be organised in the face of the professional and academic challenges of my final year at university. He helped proofread, plan and focus my applications and essays. His calm and empathetic approach will be beneficial to so many people and I am happy to recommend him to other.

I’ve been a mentee to James for just over a year now. He cares about your progress and you can tell he enjoys his job. I have progressed as a result of his teachings.

James is a great tutor! He has been my dyslexia support tutor for the past year at Lancaster University. He is kind, patient and committed to your needs and always suggests tips and tricks to help when it comes to academic writing, time-management, and planning. He goes above and beyond to understand why you may find a certain issue challenging and helps you overcome them. Would really recommend James!

James has been my study skills mentor at university for over a year. With his support I’ve seen a significant improvement in many areas of my academic life, such as time-management, proof-reading, and revision, among others.

I’d recommend James in a heartbeat for many reasons: He’s a good listener and always finds a way to make me feel confident about what I am working on. He focuses on what would benefit you the most in each session and his advice helps you to develop useful strategies for work and studying in general.

The bottom line being that he is easy to talk to and will make you feel comfortable straight away, in my opinion you would not regret having James as a mentor.

I have known James personally for many years as well as trained him as a meditation teacher. Not only does he have the ability to explain concepts clearly, but also the sensitivity to empathize with students, understand their concerns and find ways of relaying information that engages and stimulates them. He is also an excellent speaker and has a warm-hearted manner. I could not recommend James more highly as a teacher.
