Information about John
I am a qualified teacher with experience in both Primary and Secondary schools. I have delivered tailored one-to-one and small-group tuition sessions to Year 5 and 6 children in Maths and Literacy, helping children bridge learning gaps. I have also delivered targeted literacy, reading comprehension, and mathematics interventions to support students in preparation for their SATs.
Outside the classroom, I am an education and technology writer and have written for leading UK Education and Early Years magazines. I run groups to support trainee teachers with their Masters coursework, and over the last 20 years have supported countless students with meeting the requirements of their degree essays.

Willing to travel: 20 miles
Experience: I have a BA (Hons) degree in English, History, and Education, and I`m a qualified teacher. Prior to teaching, I worked in IT for 15+ years, and during that time I managed the ICT for a large school for children with special educational needs.
Since qualifying, I have taught Years 3-6 across the National Curriculum, including English, Maths, History, Geography, Music, Computing, and PE. I have also taught Computing to children in years 7-11. My most recent experience was as a school-based tutor, supporting individual Key Stage 2 children with Maths and English to help fill gaps caused by Covid.
I have worked extensively with children with dyslexia and other barriers to learning. I`m patient and sensitive to each child`s unique learning style. Over the course of my experience working with children in large classes, small groups, and individually, I have found that developing a positive relationship with the child is absolutely paramount. I pride myself on being able to make children feel at ease, and to make their learning fun and engaging.
