James Miller
Head of Programmes
James joined Insight Outreach in its inaugural year as a mentor and never left! As Head of Programmes, he leads the creation and management of our courses and their content. Back in 2018, James mentored students while studying for a degree in Classics at Cambridge University (St Catharine’s College). Alongside Insight Outreach, James is Head of Business & Innovation for an international education social enterprise. He has designed, run and taught programmes for students across 4 continents and is passionate about making learning fun, interactive and dynamic. As the recipient of a national public speaking award, 12A* at GCSE, a full score of 45 in the IB and a Classics scholarship in secondary education, James is also passionate about equipping underrepresented students with the best tools and frameworks for success in their own study. Outside the world of work, there’s nothing James enjoys more than a good tv series (recommendations welcome!), cooking or reading about anything that happened over 1,800 years ago.
