Mr. James was more than a teacher to me. He was a mentor and a coach. With his advice and guidance, I managed to replace my doubt and worries with positive strategies and plans. Until today I remember the words he said to motivate me and the passion he showed for helping others!

As Head of Student Experience at British University Vietnam, Mr. James supported me enthusiastically during my preparation for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship. He helped with the application and gave me encouragement and motivation. I will never forget his kindness.

Mr. James shines the most through his relentlessness in instilling good qualities amongst his students every chance he gets. To this day, I rely on his advice which has been a tremendous help for me as a student and a working professional to stay on top of challenges and commitments.

I was so fortunate to have had Mr. James teach me during my time in college. Mr. James made every student feel welcome. He integrated humour and a sense of realness in the way he taught. I was indeed blessed with having had a great teacher. A true educator, a true friend.

Mr. James played a great role in the education of every student at British University Vietnam. He knew how to draw our attention both in our studies as well as in campus life. He equips students with lots of knowledge, skills and positive attitudes so that they never feel lost can stay positive.

I  have learnt a lot from Mr. James. 

With his international and senior experiences, he helped my classmates and I to be prepared for the workplace and to have confidence from the earliest stages of our professional careers. He is more than a teacher. He is like a big brother.

Mr. James was my favourite teacher. I was a shy student but when I was in his class, I felt very confident to speak out and participate with ease. That's how comfortable I was in his class. Plus, he had a great sense of humour and really cared about all of his students and it showed.

I have always remembered Mr. James as an excellent and kind teacher. He genuinely cared about the wellbeing of his students and was available to support them in and out of the classroom and even after their graduation. Mr. James' sense of humour makes learning fun.

Mr. James was not your typical boring high school English literature teacher. He used a wide array of methods and activities to not only teach his students, but also to make them fall in love with the language. As an educator myself now, I use some of his techniques with my students.

Mr James was without a doubt my favorite teacher during high school. I was able to enjoy and excel very well in his English class thanks to his humorous and creative approach. There was never a dull moment in class. Even outside of teaching hours, Mr James was available to help us.
