Certified language teacher as of 2023. I'm a UK citizen, native English speaker, as well as a Romanian speaker and a Turkish language learner. I play a variety of musical instruments and I love to travel. My passions are history, language, and music. I'm patient, personable and understanding. I'll try to make you as comfortable as possible and build your confidence to use your English or Romanian skills in the real world. I enjoy meeting new people and I welcome you to contact me outside of lessons if you require any further help! *Please note, as per italki policy: "rescheduling requests must be made 24 hours in advance to protect both the teacher's time and yours. Any requests after this time cannot be accepted"* I provide a laid-back approach to learning, whereby the stress is placed on me as a teacher to help you learn, not on you as a student. Each lesson will be tailor made for the student, depending on their ability. However, I offer the following basic guidelines: For beginner students: - vocabulary - basic grammar - text translations - basic conversations - pronunciation For intermediate students: - how to express oneself/giving opinions - phrases and idioms - conversational practice - writing simple texts - intermediate grammar exercises Advanced students - essay writing - advanced conversation - subtleties and intricacies of regional dialects - advanced grammar

I have been taking lessons with James for about nine months, and he is by far the most patient and understanding teacher I’ve ever had. Even though it’s taking me some time to fully grasp certain concepts in the Romanian language, James always supports me by revisiting topics and providing multiple examples to ensure I understand them. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Romanian and gain excellent practice.

I like that the teacher helps me understand the language on my own. I can speak a lot during the lesson. It is frustrating because I make a lot of mistakes in my speech, but it is incredibly useful because my mistakes are corrected.

Great trial lesson with James. He explained complex ideas very well and it was easy to understand and follow as well as the practice we did together.

Excellent explanations of the grammatical rules of Romanian. I can understand the rules, and now it is up to me to practice them in the speech.
