As an experienced science tutor, I guarantee B grade or higher for A-level students who join the B grade guarantee scheme with a 50% tuition fee refund if this standard isn`t met. With over 13 years of teaching experience, I`ve had the privilege of working with students from top UK schools, including Eton College, St. Paul`s School, Westminster School, Hampton School, Lady Eleanor School, Manchester Grammar School, and Godolphin & Latymer School.

My expertise includes Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics across GCSE and A Levels. I also provide training for Imperial and Oxbridge admission tests for Mathematics, Physics and Engineering departments, and other univery entrance exams. In 2014 and 2015, I was honored to teach pan-Asia Physics Olympiads, Asian Physics Olympiads, and International Olympiads, representing Hong Kong. My students achieved remarkable success, winning 6 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze medals.

After being offered PhD poions at the Univery of Oxford, Imperial College London, and the Univery of Sheffield in 2015, I chose to pursue my studies in plastic electronics at Imperial College London. In 2017, I joined two highly respected teaching organizations dedicated to providing 1-to-1 tutoring for financially disadvantaged students. One of my students experienced a remarkable improvement, going from an E grade to a solid B in physics and eventually enrolling in a top-ranked univery to study mechanical engineering.

My tutoring approach is highly exam-focused, enabling students to achieve top grades in a short time. For example, I teach unique calculator tricks for mathematics exams to quickly obtain answers. My specialized exam techniques allow students to solve many multiple-choice questions within 10 seconds. Students often find my teaching effective, making difficult concepts easier to grasp. I have helped students improve from lower grades to higher ones, as well as those predicted A/A* grades seeking a solid A* to gain admission to top UK univeries. Additionally, I offer tutorials for STEP/MAT/PAT/TMUA/ESAT for applicants to Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London.

All my students can reach out to me via WhatsApp for free question assistance, typically receiving a response within 2 hours. This allows our tutorial time to focus on exam practice
In addition to regular tutorials, I offer two distinct plans tailored to students` needs:

B Grade Guarantee Scheme
The B Grade Guaranteed Scheme is designed to help A-Level Physics/Mathematics students achieve at least a B grade by completing a minimum of 70 lessons (two hours per lesson). If they don`t achieve a B grade or higher, students will receive a 50% refund on the total tuition fee.

A* Targeting Scheme
The A* Targeting Scheme caters to students aiming for an A* in A-level or Level 8/9 in GCSE. We`ll work through tailor-made A* grade difficulty questions to achieve top results in A-level Physics and Mathematics. Due to changes in the new specification, past papers from the old specifications are no longer useful. This plan provides students with extra challenging practice questions as homework.

Key feedback from past students:
Feedback from Harry (A-Level Physics, Further Math`s, Oxford PAT and Interview)

Thank you so much, Dr. Jon, for helping my son Harry get into Oxford to study Physics. We never imagined Harry could achieve this! We found Dr. Jon when Harry was in Year 11, struggling to get the top grades. Every week, Dr. Jon tailored-made A* grade questions specifically for the areas Harry needed to improve on. It helped a lot!
At first, we thought Dr. Jon`s fees were a bit high, especially since he only teaches A-level students online. But he`s really efficient and can explain tough concepts quickly. He does in 1 hour what might take other tutors 2 hours or more. This not only gave Harry more time to study other subjects but also made us realise that Dr. Jon offers good value for money, especially when compared to other tutors with similar qualifications, experience, and results.

Feedback from Sharon (A-Level Physics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Cambridge EAA and Interview prep course)
Dr. Jon tutored my son for his A-levels for more than a year, and he has been tutoring my daughter for her GCSE. Jon is smart, friendly and patient. He sees the strength and weakness in his pupils and tutors accordingly. He has exptertise in preparation for Oxbridge, and I am very happy to report that my son has been accepted by Cambridge this year. This would not have happened without Jon`s help. I highly recommend him to anyone.
