Jon is helping my son in his second year of A-Level Maths. We're only a few lessons in but he's already more positive and confident. Jon is very flexible in targeting the lessons to what my son needs to focus on and providing the level of additional homework that he is comfortable with. Jon also provides welcome feedback on progress and extra information and tips to help get the most out of lessons. I highly recommend Jon.

Jonathan is an exceptional teacher. He combines deep subject knowledge with a calm, caring, and highly organised approach that has made a real difference to my son's confidence and enjoyment of maths. My son always looked forward to his lessons with Jonathan and found them engaging, clear, and supportive. It's rare to find a tutor who is not only skilled at teaching but also genuinely invested in their student’s progress and wellbeing. We’re very grateful for everything Jonathan has done and would recommend him without hesitation.

My son found the sessions with Jon to be immensely helpful and he always came out of a session feeling things he had not completely understood at school were much clearer. His method of teaching using a whiteboard worked well online. He was enthusiastic about maths and very patient and happy to go over things until they were understood. He was happy to cover any topics my son felt difficult and going over past papers nearer the exam with clear explanations made a big difference. As a result my son feels his final grade was 1-2 higher than he would have otherwise achieved. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan as a maths tutor.

My son began weekly hourly sessions with Jon a couple of months in to Year 12, when he was struggling with the jump from GCSE to A-Level Maths, and continued until the Year 13 A-level exam. We provided Jon with the school topic timetable and Jon set questions in his lessons following those topics. He was very flexible though - some weeks my son asked him to run through tricky questions he'd encountered in class/questions he'd got wrong in mock exams. Jon writes the question on screen and asks the student how to approach it. As the student explains how to answer it Jon writes this up on screen. If the students goes off-track, Jon suggests they think of a different method until the student themself finds the answer. This approach built confidence and it really helped with the final exams as many of the questions were unusual but my son was comfortable trying different approaches to get to the answer. At the end of the lesson Jon emails all the extremely clear on-screen questions/answers, which is helpful for revision, along with practice homework questions and answers on the weekly topic. I really cannot praise Jon enough. His excellent maths ability is abundantly clear, but he is also a really great teacher; he always puts the student at ease, is encouraging and patient. As a parent it was a pleasure communicating with Jon too. I was 100% happy with everything over the 2 years. With Jon's help, my son achieved an A grade in his recent A-Level, which at the start of Year 12 had seemed unachievable.

Jon is the most amazing Maths tutor. Our son just got his A level results and achieved an A in maths so he has got into his 1st choice university. Jon is professional, conscientious and excellent in every way. He breaks everything down into a simple, understandable format and goes way above and beyond sending useful links and giving advice throughout. We highly recommend him - he is just the best! Thank you so much Jon. We are so glad we found you.

I researched long and hard before choosing a tutor for my daughter for her A Level maths and ultimately I chose Jonathan as he had such positive reviews. Most cited that he had helped pupils raise well above their current grade and that's exactly what he helped my daughter achieve. She started with him at around a C grade and has just got a very high A in her results today. Jonathan is incredibly professional, friendly and reliable and my daughter enjoyed his lessons. He was always happy to give feedback to me about where she was at and was proactive at suggesting what she could do to take her learning further. We had hourly lessons with Jonathan from January and I genuinely believe he made a huge difference to the final grade. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who needs A Level support, I felt he genuinely cared about his pupils and their results.

Amazing tutor, began working with Jon during the summer before year 13 with little confidence in my maths ability and a D predicted grade. He broke down the overwhelming amount of content in to manageable portions that he delivered at a very digestible pace. His use of an online whiteboard saved me hours of note creation. Jon was always quick with responses when I struggling with questions outside of sessions as well as being very flexible with my school timetable. Now I’ve completed my alevels and entering university with better confidence, strong study skills and a B in maths which I strongly attribute to the help he gave me! Would definitely recommend him!!!

Fabulous tutor. Really settled my daughter about her maths. She said she has never had a maths teacher able to suggest other ways to approach a question she is struggling with as well as Jonathon.

NataliaFirst Tutors

Jonathan is a really great maths tutor. After having just done 4 lessons with him I feel as though I have improved massively and feel more confident and comfortable in lessons. He has helped me understand hard year 13 topics such as integration and differentiation. He is very attentive, explains everything really clearly and will reply to my emails very promptly. Would recommend Jonathan to any maths student who needs some extra support.

My daughter has had six lesson with Jon so far. She was out of education for three years due to severe bullying, so has very little confidence, but having returned to education, she is keen to achieve good A level results and go to a top university. With only six lessons, she achieved 94% in her school's UCAS predicted grade exams, so has been predicted an A*, which was not on the cards before Jon's help. He is a great A level maths tutor and I highly recommend him.

Jonathan is ready to help at any time.His continued support and encouragement helped my son alot to reach to his goal which is grade 9 in GCSE maths exam!! Thank you very much.

AnnFirst Tutors

Jonathan is the epitome for excellence in mathematics tutoring. He tailored his teaching to my daughter’s specific learning style and provides homework at request after each lesson. He is prompt with each lesson. Provides detailed notes from each session and offers additional feedback if appropriate. My daughter was set to fail Maths getting grade 2. She has just passed Foundation Mathematics exam with a good level 5 - 76% . I cannot recommend him enough.

DianaFirst Tutors

Jon supported my son who was re writing his A Level Maths. My son has now got the A he needed. Jon was approachable and honest with us. He was available when my son needed further support. I would recommend Jon.

SamanthaFirst Tutors

Jonathan tutored my son for 6 months prior to his final Maths A Level exams and within this timeframe demonstrated a professional, organised, caring and flexible manner. Jonathan's excellent communication meant he was able to target topics/questions that were the most valuable to my son and helped him approach the final A Level exams with much clearer knowledge and greater confidence. With Jonathan's help my son improved from a predicted low B grade to achieving a very comfortable A grade. I cannot recommend Jonathan enough!

SimonFirst Tutors

I got in touch with Jon to provide some additional support for my son in preparation for A levels after he found some areas tricky during mocks. Jon was well organised and helped to plan and deliver the revision with examples which targeted the specific topics required. He was also helpful with general advice on exam preparation. My son was happy with the style and format of the lessons and he was pleased to achieve the B he was targeting.

SarahFirst Tutors

Jonathan is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him. My son enjoyed all his sessions, and felt very positive after each one. Jonathan is supportive, calm and patient and really helped with my son’s confidence - especially as the leap from GCSE to A level maths can be quite challenging. Jonathan is a brilliant tutor!

IreneFirst Tutors

I like his teaching style and he explains topics thoroughly and at a pace that works for me. So far, I am happy to continue with his support

MarieFirst Tutors

Jon worked with my Son, very approachable and punctual regarding appointments. My 17 year old said he was very good at explaining A level work. Thank you Jon

MoiraFirst Tutors

I would highly recommend Jonathan as a tutor. My son welcomed his patience and clear thinking in supporting his A level maths. Regular and speedy communication with my son and myself helped focus on his exams, and with his tutor support my son achieved an A for maths.

NeilFirst Tutors

My son had a difficult time preparing for maths A level due to the disruption caused by the pandemic, and the time with Jon has made a big difference to his progress. He shows far more confidence when working through questions, which will stand him in good stead for his electrical engineering course at university. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jon!
