About Me

Hello! I'm James and I can teach any kind of English course, whether it is for a Cambridge exam such as the IELTS, English for Specific Purposes, preparation for a job interview or just English in general. I have more than 28 years of experience teaching English around the world and more 5000 hours on Verbling. I hold 2 Masters, one in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages and the other one in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Learning English with me will not only boost your confidence and motivation in using the language, but you will also reach your desired target.

My classes are dynamic and are taught with absolute confidence and professionalism. I constantly strive to find innovative and effectual ways of developing my teaching skills in order to give the best English Language Education to you.
