James has been an excellent tutor so far and we continue to use him. My daughter’s confidence in maths has increased tremendously. James teaches in a style that my daughter understands and moves at a pace she is comfortable with. Which is an experience she is not always able to get at school. These tutoring sessions are definitely an investment in regards to my child’s future. Would definitely recommend Thank you James for you work this far
Many thanks for the feedback Sharifa and fingers crossed for a positive result this summer!
From Heather
James is a personable and excellent tutor, after few sessions my son is already growing in confidence in Maths. His progress in his maths assessments is evidence of how effective James is as a tutor. We will continue engaging James for the long term as my son’s maths Tutor.
Many thanks for the feedback Heather- I look forward to continuing our work together and building on our progress.
From Laura
James has been working with our son for several weeks now. Our son has a diagnosis of ASD and finds meeting new people tricky. He also finds maths very hard and really doesn't enjoy the subject at all. James has put him at ease from the outset, helping him to explain what he finds hard and to work collaboratively with him. Our son reports finding the sessions useful and remarkably, for someone who really does not like Maths, he says he quite enjoys the lessons. James has been completely consistent and reliable and is always quick to communicate with us. We have been really glad we asked him to tutor our son!
Many thanks for your feedback Laura, here’s hoping things continue to go well in the sessions and for a positive GCSE result at the end of the year!!
From Claire
Roger has been tutoring my son for a few months now and has built an excellent working relationship with him. My son looks forward to maths now & his confidence growing with every lesson. Liaison re homework and lesson content has been good and he understands what topics need to be covered when, he has proved an excellent maths tutor.
Thank you for your feedback Claire! I’m sure we will continue building James’s confidence and skillset as he progresses through year 7.
From Monika
I was struggling with many topics from the Maths GCSE before I got Mr as a tutor. He carefully explained everything, and helped me with anything that I struggled with. Before I got him as a tutor I was scraping a 6 in Maths, however after just a couple of lessons I started to understand a lot more and became more confident in the subject. I am currently awaiting my GCSE result and I feel like it will be much higher.
Great to hear that you found the sessions helpful Mat and well done for working so hard. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for results day! Enjoy your summer :)
Kind regards,
James
From Catherine
My son has been struggling in maths and about to do his GCSE’s, but since starting tutoring lessons with James I’m happy to see him improve and I believe he could achieve a good grade with hard work and determination. James puts a lot of effort and time into helping my son and has a lot of patience. I recommend James 100%.
Many thanks for the feedback Catherine, it's been a pleasure working with Matthew and I will be looking forward to hearing how he has gotten on in the exams and hoping he gets the rewards his hard work deserves! Kind regards, James
From Tehzeeb
My son is currently studying in Year 11 and preparing for his GCSEs.
We had retained a Maths tutor prior to Roger but were dissatisfied with his preparation, tutoring and follow through. Hence we decided to switch Maths tutors.
We retained Roger James and the difference in tutoring was vast. Roger comes prepared with a topic and game plan before each tutoring session, connects well with my son, provides homework. After each session Roger emails me as well as my son summarising the session and outlining the homework. This was we all know where things stand.
I would recommend Roger as a Maths tutor and will continue with him for my younger son who will sit his GCSEs in a few years. Thanks for the assistance.
From SUKEY
James has been a fabulous maths tutor to our 13 year old son. He is thoughtful, engaging, thorough, comes well prepared for sessions and our son has really enjoyed his tutorials and made great progress with him. I would thoroughly recommend him to other families.
Thank you for the review Sukey, it has been a pleasure working with you. Good luck for the future!
From Artjoms

Thank you also as one week we needed a lesson online and you did this for us with no hesitation . Would highly recommend . Thank you Mrs McDermott.
Thank you for your kind words Lisa, it has been great getting to know you and Lucy and the rest of the family and has been a pleasure working with you. Good luck for the future. Kind regards, James

From Karma
Professional and analytical. My daughter enjoys learning with James.
From Judi
James has been excellent tutoring my year 10 daughter consolidating her work and finding gaps in her knowledge. Since seeing James her marks have increased and I’m confident that going forward he will help her gain her optimum mark in Maths GCSE next year.
From Christiane
It has been a pleasure meeting James and my kids always enjoyed his Maths sessions (and they do not usually enjoy Maths!) James is very organised and professional. He had every lesson planned and provided activity sheets for the kids to work on. In addition, James is very good at picking out behaviours that the kids sometimes default to when getting stuck and he helped bring that to the kids awareness so that they can break that pattern - calmly think through the question rather than panic and guess! I would highly recommend James as a tutor!

From Philippa
James is an excellent tutor. He is really reliable and has a very warm manner. He also explains concepts very clearly and patiently.
From Joanne
James has greatly increased my 9 year old son's confidence and enjoyment of maths. He enjoys the sessions which are fun, engaging yet relaxed and I feel that the additional tuition is helping his skills greatly. Where as previously he was struggling to grasp the underlying concept of maths James is able to explain things in a way he is receptive to and he engages well in the topics covered. We spent some time thinking about a maths tutor before going ahead and I was wary of how my son would take to it but it has been a fabulous positive experience and I can highly recommend James. He has been adaptive to my son's needs and level and encourages him each week which has greatly raised his confidence and enthusiasm for maths. We are delighted.
From Jonathan
My daughter is really enjoying working with James. He’s is very reliable and follows up on work.
