Availability: Available any day from 9am to 7 p.m.
Can travel further than 9 miles but would have to charge more ( £30 ).
I can offer A level subjects Pure Maths and Mechanics and any level below that
ie GCSE and Key stage 2( SATS ) or Entrance Exam to Independent Schools
I have a passion for teaching Maths and really enjoy one to one tutoring.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I have taught maths for over 40 years to children from age 8 to 18. Two years ago I taught 2 year 8 pupils from a middle school in Leek and they both achieved A* grades at GCSE with only 6 months teaching. I have tutored most of my teaching career. I have had great success in tutoring pupils nearly all achieving above expected grades.
I have been an examiner for key stages 3 , 4 and 5 and this helps in preparing students for exams.
I have never had a student fail to get his/her required grade in all the years I have been tutoring.
Please read feedback, I always make student comfortable and confident after each session.

Having done well in his GCSE`s, my son was struggling with AS level Maths to the point where his school report grade in March was an "E". We found John through Tutor Hunt and within weeks it transformed my son`s understanding. His AS results came out today and he achieved an "A". We can`t thank John enough for the massive improvement in only two months. Highly recommended. (Oh, and he`s a nice chap too!)

John has only had one teaching session with my daughters in Maths, but he was punctual, polite and patient. I`m sure he will work well with them in achieving their target grades.
