Extracts from letters of recommendation (available in full on request):

 

"James is an extremely capable and sensitive tutor. He really managed to engage my 18-year-old son at a point when he was feeling out of his depth and pretty despondent about having chosen to study theology at A level. James repeatedly managed to explain complex ideas through simple analogies and yet was not in any way condescending. He was very thorough and always seemed to take great care to ensure that concepts were fully understood and that the correct notes had been taken. Indeed he managed to turn things around completely for my son, and got him to really start enjoying theology again. It is fair to say that it was James who was solely responsible for regenerating my son`s enthusiasm for the subject."

"I am just writing to thank you for your support and input. My daughter got a D in her mock earlier this year ... You immediately set about lifting her spirits and inspiring her with high-quality one-to-one tuition.  She loved her on-line sessions with you and it was quickly obvious to my wife and me that you were getting traction.  But for her to get an A really was at the top end of our expectations.  Thank you.  You have made a big difference to one very happy 18 year old."

"My daughter was unable to attend school due to illness, and so James was entirely responsible for her preparation. James was a diligent tutor, who managed to convey this difficult subject with a lightness of touch. I know that my daughter enjoyed her lessons enormously and that she found it easy to learn from James. He not only imparted the necessary knowledge but also inspired her with confidence."

"James was brilliant. Despite tutoring my two twin daughters at the same time, he adapted his teaching style to suit both of them differently. He made the whole course much easier for them to understand than they had found at school. Beyond this, he boosted their confidence and increased their essay writing skills. He provided a large amount of digital handouts which they also found useful. Both girls ended up with very high As in all the topics he taught them in."
