Information About James:
Personal Description:
Qualified English tutor with a BA in English Literature and Philosophy, and an MA in Russian and East European Literature and Culture.
My interests include music (I play guitar and write songs), cooking, science, running, football, squash, psychology, and in general learning new things.
I'm fluent in Russian.
Teaching Experience:
I spent 9 years teaching English in Moscow, Russia to children and adults of all levels.
I've also taught at various companies including banks, tech companies and start-ups.
Tutoring Approach:
I draw material from a range of sources including news articles, podcasts, short videos etc for discussion. I create vocabulary exercises for the topic material to allow the student to prepare for the discussion of the topic so that the new language is used actively and immediately.
I usually keep the lessons as focussed on speaking/listening as possible, with reading and writing usually given as homework.
The lessons are, however, tailored to suit the individual needs of the student.
