John

I am experienced teacher in both maths and physics.. Teaching mainly at GCSE and A level in both subjects. I have been a senior examiner, icluding writing exam papers at A level., which means I have a clear understanding of the examination process from the inception of the exam to the grading. I have been a tutor for many years, both face to face and online, although nowadays I only workonline.

Teaching Experience

Able to offer tuition in maths and physics from pre GCSE to A level. I have a friendly disposition and students enjoy working with me. I have worked in education for over 40 years and have been a senior examiner for many years. Many of my past students have become heads of maths in the surrrounding area. In tutoring I have 100% success rates. I only deliver tuition online.

Tutoring Approach

I evalute the needs of each student, particularly in the first few sessions. Each student develops at different rates I provide them with the opportuity to learn at a pace which is appropriate to their needs. Students are encouraged to become independant thinkers.

John is an excellent maths tutor. His subject knowledge is extensive and he recognises when things are not sinking in well. He is challenging, but supportive and the right person to bring the best out of a reluctant mathematician.

DAvidFirst Tutors

I had a very tight and specific schedule and John went out of his way to accommodate my request. As a tutor, I found John to be very calm and took the time necessary to fully explain any point that needed clarifying. He has a breadth of knowledge and experience that reassured me from the very beginning. I would not hesitate in recommending John or using him again.

DanFirst Tutors

Having struggled hugely in my first year of sixth form, I contacted John and thanks entirely to his tuition throughout my second year I am walking away with an A in maths. He is very patient and easy-going and will give clear and simple explanations to anything you are stuck with. He is flexible with scheduling, and also was happy to help me with any odd bits of physics that I was stuck with. Highly recommend to anybody requiring tuition.
