James Hemsley

I consider teaching English to be more than just a job. It is a way of life, a way to perceive the world, and a means through which I am able to transmit my passion for the subject regardless of the age or objective of the learner before me.

During my career, I have assumed various roles in which I have demonstrated that I am a professional, punctual and reliable worker. I have worked as an EFL teacher since 2007 and I have always fulfilled my duties such as preparing syllabi, courses, lessons, and materials in accordance to the learner's needs. Working as a Cambridge Examiner and Technical Director I have exhibited my ability to follow rigid guidelines and provide attention to detail. Moreover, I approach issues with an analytical approach and deliver clear documentation so as to avoid confusion. I have also demonstrated my capabilities as a diplomatic leader who leads by example while assuming College Director and Branch Manager roles.

I have obtained the CELTA teaching certificate (2007), I am a qualified Cambridge Speaker Assessment Specialist (2012), and I have a  BA (HONS) in Sports Studies with Business - specialisation in Sports Psychology.
