Hello everyone, my name is James. I have been a TEFL teacher/tutor for over 16 months now and have had about 2,000 lessons. I really love helping others with their English goals. I decided to specialize in IELTS exam preparation because I believe this is where I can have the most impact on students lives.

I want to let you all know a little bit about me in my first Facebook post so you can get to know me.

I studied communication at an american university and earned many certificates for teaching English, business English, IELTS exam preparation, pronunciation, and many other things. In my spare time I really enjoy studying and reading things related to my work and passion. I am an avid traveler, I am currently in Serbia and will soon be in Turkey. I love talking to my friends online and watching romance films, stuck in love is my favorite movie. I like rock music and love songs, Taylor Swift is awesome. I also really enjoy the outdoors, I go on hikes whenever I can, I love to go to the gym when I get the opportunity and sometimes go running at night when the city is quiet.

I am a bit boring, but I love life, and am more than passionate about teaching English.

I recently started a website with a blog here at IELTSWithJames.org.

Thank you for checking out my page here on Facebook, I want to create a really good community for English learners and IELTS test takers. I will always respond to questions and comments.

See ya later! :D
