Tutor response

Thank you for the rating! I really believe you have greater potential than you currently feel and I am enjoying drawing it out in you. Keep up the good work!

John quickly built a rapport with my son and made it easier for him to ask questions, not be afraid to make mistakes and to say if he is struggling with certain topics. We are already seeing a marked improving after just one term,

Tutor response

Great to hear. Thank you. He has more potential than he realises. I will help him realise it progressively.

My son has been going to John for A level tutoring for nearly 3 months now. He tells me the teaching is great. It is presented in a very clear way, that is well structured and understandable. My son enjoys his lessons and he feels his understanding of the topic is growing

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments! Your son is a joy to teach and shows very considerable talent. I anticipate considerable success for him!

After my son started studying Maths in 6th Form at grammar school, it became clear very quickly that the complexity level was much harder, than it was in GCSE. My son was lacking a spark and motivation that his teacher at secondary school was giving to him and so the feedback from his current school techer didn't sound promising. Therefore, I started looking for a tutor, who not only would be a highly experienced and knowledgeable Maths teacher, but who would also be able to raise a genuine interest in subject. When I saw John's profile, I felt that this could be exactly what I was looking for. After the very first lesson my son was impressed by the teaching approach John offered and felt immediate trust to him. My son has been trying to follow all the advices John's giving and as a result his Maths predicted grade is now A* and Maths is the favorite subject again. I cannot recommend John highly enough as a wonderful and talented teacher and both me and my son feel very confident that the best results will be achieved at A level exam.

Tutor response

How wonderfully kind of you to say so. He is a super student; curious, intelligent and responsive to guidance. It is a privilege to tutor such as he and to do all possible to help him fulfil his potential.

JonathanFirst Tutors

John has been very diligent in tutoring my son for his maths A level and my son feels he is making good progress. John has also been flexible in accommodating changes to our lesson times.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. He has real talent and is responding well to tuition. Flexibility is part of the package, where possible!

I can’t praise john highly enough. He had tutored both my sons and gave them an enthusiasm for the subject. First son went from C to A. Second just doing exams now. Both loved sessions!

Tutor response

That’s so kind. Both are super students. A privilege to help them!

BethFirst Tutors

Mr. is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him. My daughter’s maths ability has improved significantly and she has gained newfound confidence as she begins her GCSE’s.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. It has been a privilege to coax the latent talent into the sunlight and see it flourish. She has a wonderful mind and will have a very successful continuation of her education.

IanFirst Tutors

John has delivered one hour weekly sessions to my 17 year old son for more than 6 months to prepare him for his forthcoming maths A level exam. My son is very positive about the sessions and has gained a lot. It's clear John is very knowledgeable and well-prepared, able to tailor the sessions to meet individual needs to best effect. He is also friendly in communications. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. Ian is very capable and has maintained a great work ethic. I wish him every success!

MohammedFirst Tutors

Tutor response

That’s very kind. He will do well I believe and I wish him all success!

MelissaFirst Tutors

We highly recommend John. My son was tutored in A Level Maths 2022. John is a wonderful teacher, he explained concepts very well. My son enjoyed the lessons and was much more engaged and enjoyed maths a lot more. Mrs Pichler

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. It was a real pleasure to teach such a student who listened to, and trusted me! Fulfilling his potential is the great reward for both of us!

DamienFirst Tutors

First class. My son, David, required Maths and Further Maths A-level tuition, as some of the teaching art his school fell somewhat short. John hit the spot absolutely - and in addition gave David the added confidence he needed. Great work. David has just secured an A at Maths and B at Further Maths. The results speak for themselves! D Lewis

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your kind comments! I knew David had it in him-the challenge was to help him find it, develop it and apply it in exams. Which he clearly did with enormous success. A privilege to tutor him.

AlisonFirst Tutors

John has given our son the confidence he needed to improve his maths. He was very patient, encouraging and thorough in working our son through the areas he didn't understand or had trouble with. Thanks to John's help, in a small space of time, our son has just achieved a grade 7 in higher maths GCSE (he was likely to achieve a 5). We would definitely recommend John.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. It’s always a pleasure and a great satisfaction to help a student realise his potential, especially when it seems initially visible neither to the school-or the student!

SarahFirst Tutors

John has been tutoring my son for 6 months in preparation for GCSE statistics and maths. He has done an excellent job and really boosted my son’s confidence. My son thoroughly enjoys his lessons and I think he’ll miss doing them when the exams are over!

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. He is a highly intelligent student with a love of order and logic. His enthusiasm is a significant element of his success and he should do extremely well.

CarolineFirst Tutors

My son really enjoys his sessions with John. He finds them stimulating and informative and is making excellent progress in Maths. I also appreciate how reliable and well organised John is. It is a pleasure to work with him.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. We are making great progress together!

SharonFirst Tutors

John has been tutoring my son in A Level Maths and Further Maths. He has been able to fill some gaps enabling my son to get back on track with his predicted grades. My son enjoys his lessons with John consequently has much more confidence in Maths. I would not hesitate to recommend him as an extremely supportive and knowledgeable tutor.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments! I hope we can get him the grades he deserves!

GobinthFirst Tutors

John is very knowledgeable and is a very supportive tutor. He works to the pace of his students and makes sure his student understands a topic or question well before moving on. Will definitely recommend.

DmitriFirst Tutors

I would highly recommend John who helped our son a lot in boosting his confidence in math.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comment. He is a talented young man. The aim is to release all the significant potential that exists!

RachelFirst Tutors

John has tutored our son for maths GCSEs. John is an extremely caring, patient and supportive tutor. He is also very knowledgeable and with many years teaching in state schools, understand children's behaviour and getting the pace right up to GCSEs. My son has some challenging behaviour getting quickly frustrated when he cannot understand a concept but this did not deter John who was determined to help and over the weeks he built a trusted relationship with my son.

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind comments. It was a privilege to teach Isaac and get to find his humour and talent. I wish him well in his ongoing education!

LauraFirst Tutors

We are so lucky to have found John on First Tutors! Our elder son would not have done so well at A level Maths without John's help. He is currently tutoring our younger son who is in his final year of Maths A level. Rhys really looks forward to his sessions with John. To quote Rhys - "John is compassionate, very patient and has a real passion for maths. He always answers my endless questions with enthusiasm!". John instantly put both our sons at ease from the very first session. We cannot sing his praises enough. Thank you John!

Tutor response

Thank you for your most appreciative comments! Your sons are great people and excellent students.
