About Me

Hi, I’m James Down — a qualified primary school teacher with years of classroom experience. I understand how every child learns differently, and I’ve seen first-hand how a little extra support can make a big difference in their confidence and progress.

My tutoring approach is simple: patient, encouraging, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether it’s catching up, preparing for SATs, or stretching beyond the classroom, I help children feel supported and capable.

An amazing teacher, I would highly recommend!
