As a Qualified Teacher (QTS) with 12 years` A level/GCSE experience, and with degrees from King`s College London in Biomedical Sciences (BSc) and Business Management (MA), I have considerable experience in both education and academia.
Ofsted has consistently noted my teaching; in 2010 for `Outstanding progress` and for cultivating `Excellent relationships with students`, and having `particularly strong` A level Chemistry teaching. My lessons have also been been highlighted by the ex Director of the National Science Strategy (NSS) in the Ministers` Education Report to Government (2010).

Jonathon has been tutoring my son A`Level Biology and Chemistry now for a few weeks, he has been professional and thorough in his explanations and my son`s understanding, interest and confidence in these subjects has returned. We will continue with Jonathon`s tuition next year so as to ensure new material is understood fully in advance of the exam period.

Jonathan taught my child A-Level Chemistry towards the end of the course. He made a significant difference to not only my childs knowledge but also to self confidence.
Always on time, well prepared and has lots of positive energy.
Our only regret was not using Jonathan earlier.
