About James
Hello there!
My name is James, I am a professional LAMDA trained actor based in South West London.
I currently teach a whole variety of LAMDA Exams, both in person and online, and am working with InterGreat Education Group to teach a number of students all across Asia. I teach LAMDA at Stagecoach Primrose Hill and have previously taught at Stagecoach Forest Hill. All students have a 100% Distinction rate.
I have worked closely with the LAMDA Exams department since 2016 and have received personal training from Linda Macrow and Marcia Carr, the Chief and Deputy Chief examiners for LAMDA Exams.
As an actor I have worked on ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ (West End/U.K. Tour), 'The Librarians: A Very Serious Comedy' (Pleasance Theatre), 'Spy Movie: The Play! (U.K Tour), 'Callisto' (Arcola Theatre), ‘Henry V’, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Titus Andronicus’ (Bard In The Botanics), ‘Belgravia’ (ITV), 'Mrs Sidhu Investigates (ITV), and 'Mercy Falls' (Magic Monkey Films).
I would love to help you or your learner on the road to success.
Full, clear DBS.

Subjects taught: Acting, Speaking Verse & Prose, Speaking In Public, Shakespeare
My teaching method draws from my extensive training as an actor from LAMDA and from my professional experience as an actor.
Lessons include a short warm up, tailored to each student, to help learners develop and strengthen their vocal and physical skills.
For Acting work, I work with a variety techniques to help learners unlock the text and help them feel full ownership of their character and their circumstances. From Shakespeare to modern plays, we will find the best suited methods to make sure you feel as confident and as ready as you can for your LAMDA Exam.
For Speaking In Public work, learners are taught various skills to help them craft the best possible speeches, including rhetorical techniques, speech structure, how best to use vocal skills and body language and how to incorporate visual aids.
We'll also work on the 'knowledge' section of the exam as well.
Through all this work, learners will not only get the necessary preparation for their LAMDA Exam, but also will develop skills to be the best performers they can be!
I offer a free 30 minute consultation to to figure out which grade is best for you or your learner.

James is an excellent drama teacher - super enthusiastic and engaging, he makes every lesson challenging, interesting and fun, he also gets results! My daughter has completed four LAMDA exams so far and through his tutoring has achieved high distinctions in every one. Great to deal with, very professional and flexible. Couldn’t recommend James more highly.
**Outstanding Public Speaking Tutor!**
My son, Jayson has been learning LAMDA Public Speaking with James for over two years now, and the progress he has made is truly remarkable. Under James' guidance, my son has successfully completed both Level 3 and Level 4, achieving excellent results, including a Distinction.
What sets James apart is his personalized approach. After each lesson, he provides detailed feedback, highlighting areas for improvement and offering constructive advice. This has greatly contributed to my son’s growth in both confidence and skill.
James is an exceptional tutor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional public speaking coach.
(Jowan - from Hong Kong)We have used James as our LAMDA tutor for over four years. He is amazing!! He is professional, kind, patient & good fun. He has enabled my daughter to achieve top marks in all her LAMDA exams. Highly recommended.
James is an excellent tutor. Whilst he is patient, he also pushes his pupils to be the best they can be and has an infectious enthusiasm for his profession. He has got my son through 3 LAMDA exams with distinction. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of doing LAMDA exams whether it is just for fun or to build up a credible profile in the dramatic arts.
Super James! I have to say. We have been learning LAMDA with James for years, he's absolutely fantastic teacher ever! He's so patient and professional. He is particularly good at motivating my daughter so the entire lesson was fully engaging with him. CANNOT recommend him enough! Thank you James, for all the work you have done!
James is teaching my daughter from Grade4, we are now in Grade 8:) All LAMDA exams got top marks. James is honest ,always on time, give feedbacks to our lessons, advise different exercises.Excellent teacher. Strongly recommend him.
James is truly exceptional if you're looking for a tutor to help your child in LAMDA. I never had to worry about my daughter's exams—she passed all her LAMDA assessments with distinction, and her scores were outstanding. James took full charge of her preparation, ensuring everything was handled seamlessly. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a brilliant teacher guiding her.
James has been supporting my daughter with her LAMDA exam preparations for two and a half years. She has taken four LAMDA grades with him so far (Solo Acting) and has gone from strength to strength. James is very engaging and my daughter really looks forward to her lessons with him. He is also very well organised with the sessions and the materials he uses.
James is a wonderful tutor and has been teaching my daughter for 2 years now. She has only ever had Distinctions with James and absolutely loves his lessons!
He always emails after lessons with feedback and homework and his lessons are so much fun!View more recommendations
