In just 5 and 1/2 days in February, 2022, I was beginning to transform almost roughly half a secondary school's children !

A Laboratory Technician & Former Senior Mathematics Teacher liked what I was doing - and noted I was the only teacher at the school she saw using my method !

The Head of Science wanted its success for her own children !
The Head of Physics wanted its success for his own children !

The school cleaners liked and agreed strongly with what I was doing !

Children kept clapping hands for me in different classes !

The most dangerous [ latent murderer ] boy, Will, was transformed by my 6th day !
His rebellious classmate, Jackson, was transformed by the 5th day !

From my 1st day to my 6th last day teaching at the school as a Supply Teacher, children kept calling out in the Playgrounds, " Hello, Mr ! "

That week I was helped by 72 million pastors & members of Christ Embassy praying from 6am for the children of the world and the Lord Jesus Christ answered miraculously our prayers.


92% Mathematics - By A Girl NOT In Top Sets - ca 7 Lessons ONLY !

In just 6 months of Home Tuition, 7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - BY A LOWEST SET Cardiff High School GCSE BOY !

100% SUCCESS - with zero rejection of learning - BY DYSLEXIC CHILDREN - Since 2016 !


ALL BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS BLESSED MY PEDAGOGICAL METHODS - Since 1985 !
Thanks to Him, He used me to bless many families - since I entered school teaching in 1992 !


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXPERIENCED TEACHER - I BEGAN TEACHING - OVER 35 YEARS AGO !

HOME - SCHOOL - UNIVERSITY - BUSINESS

* 100 % SUCCESS - UNIVERSITY Personal Statements - OVER ALL MY YEARS So Far !

7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - By Bottom Set GCSE Boy - In JUST 6 Months' Tuition - Cardiff Hign School !


How ?


* Since 1992, I have given my school and home classes ACTIVE LEARNING
rather than the popular PASSIVE LEARNING.


This lets students enjoy lessons and learn FASTER.


* I use special layouts of 2s, 3s and 4s
to aid the brain assimilate faster and easier.


* I use special serene colours and avoid negative colours that slow the brain's cognitive processes.


* I teach students which daily activities to avoid so that their brains go back to normal in 7 to 31 days - for many if they follow my advice fully.


* I show school & university students a FAR EASIER & MORE EFFICIENT JAMES WAY TO DO HOMEWORK !

.... so be more than ready and well prepared BEFORE THE EXAMS if you follow my simple, easy methodology fully properly !


All because in 1987, I decided to read the Holy Bible more - and my wife prays for my students !

The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who has taught me to teach in EXCELLENT WAYS ! MANY Subjects !


It was not by my 3 universities. The best Teachers' Training College at the time , Sir Robert Black College Of Education, where I obtained a Certificate of Special Education trained in some ways like what God Almighty gave me through The Holy Bible.

If it had not been for the Lord Jesus, I would have been like all the other teachers - and would not have achieved dynamic top results for pupils who followed my methods fully properly.

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

I am an experienced chess player and teacher, with many tournament victories in Japan, where I currently reside. My rating is around 2000 FIDE, and I am comfortable teaching students from absolute beginner level up to about 2000 FIDE, both online and face-to-face (depending on location).

I can teach lessons in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, upon request. I can also teach in Japanese, at a basic level, though due to my mediocre Japanese language ability, some slight misunderstandings may occur during classes.

The classes are customized according to the needs of the student. For instance, with beginners, the focus is on tactics, pattern recognition, and learning basic opening principles, endgames, and stategy. For advanced players, the coaching is much more personalized, and may focus on aspects such as identifying and improving their specific weaknesses, or helping them refine their opening repertoire for an upcoming tournament.

I am happy to discuss the needs of each student at length before starting classes, and regardless of what we agree on, I expect my students to make their best efforts during the classes and hope to really challenge them to think deeply about the material.
