Jim has been working with our son for a few months. Our son has a talent and passion for acting and is struggling to engage in the academics and how english underpins the acting. Jim is a real find and talent with the ability to break down the practical skills need to achieve good results in English Lit As but more importantly motivate and communicate the relevance and usefulness of literature for acting. His English results and confidence have improved and his performance. Being non acting parents we became stuck as how to help our son move to the next stage to fulfil his aims. Our son already feels Jim's tutoring was what he needed and we think he will look back and see Jim's influence as a turning point for him. Would highly recommend Jim.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jim for the last ten years and have witnessed his passion for theatre and his ability to motivate young people into sharing it. His most recent venture with me was in the preparation of piece of theatre for the Edinburgh Fringe. As a tutor he ensured that all the students appreciated the educational value behind the project; as a director he ensured that all students fulfilled their potential on stage. He is a great teacher.

Jim is an engaging and creative tutor, always looking for ways to make his lessons more interesting.

Jim tutored my son for a RADA audition . He was punctual , reliable and full of enthusiasm , encouragement and positivity . He gave my son great confidence and prepared him very well for his audition . We would have no hesitation in recommending Jim as a tutor
