James Parsons
I'm James Parsons, and I've been running creative English conversation groups for several years now. My sessions are lively, playful, and energetic — I like to bring a spark to every discussion, whether we're talking about cakes, cultural identity, or current events.
Originally from the UK, I have a strong command of my native language and a real passion for helping learners feel confident using natural, expressive English.
With a background in photography and visual arts, I bring a creative, image-led approach to language — using stories, artworks, and cultural materials to open up conversation and imagination.
I also have a keen interest in history, politics, and current affairs, and I enjoy designing sessions that invite reflection, humour, and meaningful exchange."
