Cambridge Economics Graduate and qualified teacher who loves to teach A-Level, Pre-U and IB

Our daughter began her A-Level Maths course with concerns over her ability to truly understand the many new concepts that would head her way. She is a very hard worker and, once shown a technique, could mimic what she had learned easily, but was confounded when similar questions were presented to her in a different way. She recognised that she was grasping techniques, but not learning fundamental theories, in her Maths classes at school. James quickly developed a rapport with our daughter and diagnosed her specific issues. He came up with a customised programme appropriate to her needs, balancing alternative explanations for the theories she had already been exposed to in school with a rigorous set of practice work that highlighted where the system would try to ‘trick’ her. James’ ability to engage with our child, enthuse our child and guide our child to her best possible performance represent an absolute credit to his skill and capabilities as a tutor. He should take pride in the A grade she achieved. We would give James our highest recommendation to fellow parents looking to focus and enhance their children’s mathematical performances.

I highly recommend the services of James Roger as a tutor.James was the maths teacher of my three boys age 11, 8 and 7 for a term while my children were home schooled. James is very conscientious and has always planned and delivered his lessons in a professional manner in line with the curriculum. James has always offered a good diversity of learning activities to my children and made each lesson really engaging and fun. He has clearly demonstrated his ability to challenge children with different abilities but also different learning styles and ways of thinking! My three boys have expressed that they really enjoyed each session with James because he challenged them and made them think "outside the box".James is very personable, adaptable and knows how to make complex concepts easy to understand. His passion for the subject and his boundless enthusiasm for learning are infectious and my children found James very inspiring.

James is my son’s maths tutor and his tutored my son for the past year. My son is currently at a state primary school and I engaged James to help him prepare for the 10+ entrance exams for some very good private secondary schools. James is a friendly and professional tutor, who is clearly passionate about maths and was able to correctly assess my son's level and engage his interest quickly. James is always encouraging and stretched my son in the subject whilst keeping the lessons enjoyable and lively. My son looks forward to his lessons with James and showing James what he achieved in his maths homework. My son's confidence overall has also increased. James was also happy to spend a lesson doing a mock interview with my son (with my son as the interviewer and James as the interviewee!) and he helped my son think about what about what he would like to get across to his interviewers. Certainly my son seems pretty relaxed before each of the interviews he was called to after sitting the entrance exams.

I would highly recommend James as a maths tutor.

arranged one two-hour session with James for my son. this was to get my son to have some in-depth discussion on economics issues so that he would be familiar with oxbridge economics interviews. my son throughly enjoyed the session and found James very passionate, knowledgeable and intelligent. My son left the session feeling very motivated and reassured. We highly recommend James service.

Very grateful for the tutoring James provided for me. Well prepared for every session and explained everything in a way that could be understood...much easier said than done! He was supportive throughout the whole process and in what felt like no time at all transformed a D into an A. Highly recommend!

James is the best tutor I've ever had. His boundless enthusiasm for the subject is infectious, and lets you learn in an environment of discovery as opposed to mindless repetition. He manages to inspire a motivation for self improvement which you will find affecting you long after he's left the classroom.

This on top of James' funny and warm personality makes it an absolute crime to miss having him as your tutor.
