James worked for us for two terms as a long-term Science supply teacher. Due to his wealth of experience as a Science teacher he was able to hit the ground running and teach a high standard of lessons.
I observed his lessons on several occasions and he was consistently outstanding with respect to both his delivery and rapport with students. James has gone above and beyond to help out with extra revision after school and during the holidays for our GCSE pupils, who very much appreciated it!
James is an outstanding teacher, very confident, experienced and has great behaviour management techniques. His experience means he can assimilate school policies very quickly allowing him to deliver lessons very effectively. Any head of department’s day would be a lot smoother and less stressful with James stepping in to support both in the short term and longer term.
I worked with James at both Thornhill Community Academy and Mount St Mary’s Catholic High School. James was a strong leader, supportive manager and engaging Science teacher. He is keen to help students to gain the enthusiasm he has for Science, using his knowledge and creative resources to bring even the most difficult Science topics to life.
James is a fantastic classroom teacher with excellent classroom management skills and high expectations of both student learning and behaviour. He is reliable and goes above and beyond in his preparation. James integrates quickly with new colleagues and teams and contributes to departmental objectives with enthusiasm and skill. As a self-confessed computer geek, James produces (and shares willingly) outstanding resources. James would be a real asset to any school!
