Information about John

More than 30 of my students have scored 100% in A level exam papers and I have helped over 500 students to get into Oxford, Cambridge, or Medical School. Over 98% of my students have achieved the coveted A* grade and I`ve never had a regular student get less than an A grade. Every year I take lots of students from a C/D to the A* and most years I`ll take someone from E/U all the way to the A*. I`ve tutored online since 2010 and my students think that I make it work even better than in-person tutoring. I have an amazing record with medical school entry; my students average over 3100 in UCAT and they invariably receive 3 or 4 offers from medical schools. My tutees all enjoy their lessons, gain a huge amount of confidence, and do so much better than they thought they could. I love tutoring and I get great satisfaction from helping students to excel. Please read the reviews that students and parents have posted as they tell you everything you need to know!

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: Oxford, double First, followed by a Doctorate in biochemistry. I then trained as a chartered accountant and worked as a tax specialist for Deloitte. Financially secure, I decided to follow my passion and become a teacher and tutor. I have over 25 years experience of teaching in top HMC schools and my pupils have always gained exceptional results. I also have more than 25 years experience as an examiner. I am particularly well set up for online tuition with a large dedicated office, fast PCs, 1.1Gb hyperfast fibre broadband connection and a separate backup connection, and an absolute wealth of digital resources. Online works brilliantly well, better than in-person according to my students, and it allows you to get the best tuition irrespective of your location. I think that the main reason my tutees enjoy my teaching so much and are so successful is that everything is bespoke to their needs. Being a very experienced examiner and teacher really helps but key also is a good sense of humour and flexibility. I really enjoy doing the absolute best that I can for each student and take great pride in their achievements.

The work John has been doing with Charlie has been great . John is very personable and was able to get on Charlies wave length straight away . Charlie needed some direction on answer structure to enable him to maximise his marks. I would have no problem recommending John in the future . Eddie H

John has been an incredible support to my son throughout the summer and we cannot wait to see how he progresses throughout his U6. After having lost a considerable amount of confidence in Chemistry A level we feel that he is very much back on track. John is thoughtful and kind, patient and uses great techniques to get the most out of his students. So far so good ! Will be sure to post his results on here in a years time as Lucas continues to track very well. Hi transformation from a C grade student to A or above is very much in play!! Thanks so much John - you`re amazing!

Tutors Response :

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the generous feedback. I`ve been delighted with the change in Lucas over the last 6 weeks. He now loves chemistry, is highly motivated, and is making excellent progress. It is a total pleasure to help him and watch it all come together for him. If we can keep the momentum going then the A* will be his!
Very best wishes, John

I have been exceptionally happy with John’s tutoring for my son. Having sat the first of his A-level papers we thought we needed to have a boost with economics. John was just the person to help us. He got in touch very quickly and took on the challenge of helping my son improve his performance and technique in economics. I was really pleased with John being able to help, so much with many lessons over a short period of time. Time was short for us but John was there to help, so I was able to provide my son with the right amount of expert tuition. also provided the flexibility in lessons and timings. Getting John on board fully relieved me of the sense of powerlessness I had! I wish we had found John much earlier! Thanks again John😀;

Tutors Response :

Thanks Charles and hopefully I have managed to pull Darcy up to a secure A*. It has been a pleasure to help him and I always love a challenge like this. Thank you for trusting me to quickly get the job done and turn it all around.

I have now had 9 lessons with Charlotte and I am already very pleased with her attitude and with the A* test results that she is getting at school. It really is a delight to tutor her; she is unfailing polite, she listens carefully, and lessons are always fun and pacy. With a year to go until A levels there is no doubt that very high A*s can be achieved and I am looking forward to helping her to get into Medical School.

Before I had John as a tutor, I didn`t feel particularly confident that I could achieve a B grade, let alone an A grade.

John has been a godsend for our son. In this very challenging year for A-level students, he has helped our son keep on top of his economics coursework, remain encouraged in the teeth of countless missed in-school lessons, and stay inspired with the confidence that he can and will still do well in whatever form the exams will take place. John is patient and encouraging, but also knows when to push our son to reach that bit further. Keeping our son engaged, motivated and focused - and on a Sunday afternoon of all days/times - is no small feat, and full credit to John for keeping our son on track. I really don`t know how our son would have gotten through this academic year without John, so top marks and huge gratitude to him.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. Your son has made remarkable progress with his economics and you must be very proud indeed!

John has been tutoring my son for A level Chemistry for over 6 months. I can honestly say that the confidence level of my has increased several fold and although the assessments are yet to take place, it is clear that he is going to perform very well and hopefully achieve his dream grade. Already, his teachers are impressed with his remarkable progress and have predicted a high grade for him. I have been impressed with John`s professionalism and time keeping. John is also flexible and has made adjustments to lesson days and times whenever possible and needed, despite his very busy schedule. John is obviously very competent in his teaching skills, methods and knowledge and this has clearly and positively rubbed on my son. John has been very focused with my son on exam techniques and skills to ensure he can score highly in any setting. I am very comfortable to recommend John to any parent and student in that knowledge that the success rate for student in their crucial exams is going to be virtually guaranteed, and students will be fortunate in my opinion to have John as their Chemistry Tutor.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. We are looking at a very comfortable A* thanks to your son`s hard work and it has been a pleasure to facilitate his excellent progress. Most importantly he is now very well set up to thrive in a really demanding course at one of the best universities.

John started supporting my daughter Charlotte in her final year of A Levels she had lost her confidence following the C-19 Pandemic and lockdown. The uncertainty surrounding her final exams and university caused her anxiety. John is calm and supportive, he also brings an element of fun into the tutorial which makes the learning experience more valuable. John quickly assessed Charlottes learning style and needs and with her built a plan to support her achieve positive results, which they did for her University application. Charlotte continues to improve in Chemistry and is feeling 100% more confident in her ability to do well in her A Levels in whatever format they will take place this year. Thank you John

Tutors Response :

Dear Linda,
It is great fun helping Charlotte. She is a clever girl who responds very well to advice and her progress with chemistry has been absolutely exceptional. I`m so pleased to see how confident she is again and she will go on to do really well at university. I`m really proud of her and she is such a credit to you. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to help her. Best wishes, John

Dr John provided tutoring to our son to prepare him for A Level Biology exams in Autumn 2020. Our son required an A* for Cambridge entry and hadn`t had any teaching since March due to Covid-19. Dr John provided all the support and preparation necessary for a successful result and gave realistic feedback, useful support materials and structured homework in twice weekly online tutoring sessions over a two month period. Delighted that the A* was achieved under such difficult circumstances and I would recommend Dr John`s A level tutoring.

Tutors Response :

To be out of school for so long and then get the A* is a superb outcome. Nice one Dejan and thank you again as lessons were always pacy and great fun. Good luck at Cambridge!

John is a fantastic teacher. My ten year old daughter enjoys her lessons with John, and they get along splendidly. In fact she always looks forward to their lessons! John is always responsive to mum’s endless queries and requests! I can’t thank him enough!

Dear Sahar,
Thank you for the lovely feedback. You can be confident that Ozaz will do well in the 11+ exams as she has made really good progress. It is an absolute pleasure to help her.

I decided to use one tutor for all A Level subjects (Chemistry/Biology/Economics) and medical school entrance, using John for this has been the best decision I have ever made. He has an exceptional content knowledge across all subject areas, explanations are delivered with outstanding professionalism and using a wide variety of techniques to ensure an optimum level of pupil understanding and engagement. Compassionate and patient, not only adaptable to my daughter`s educational needs but inspiring and has immensely boosted her self-esteem. Thanks to John`s tutoring, she has now become an outstanding A* student and the knowledge, skills and confidence he has taught have provided her with an exemplary foundation in life. John is worth his weight in gold and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for the lovely feedback Jane. It is a pleasure to help Elise and I am absolutely delighted with the progress that she has made. Best wishes, John

John gave my daughter two 90 minute sessions to help her to prepare for the Cambridge Natural Science NSAA. We were really delighted with the sessions. John quickly identified her strengths and the areas where she needed to practise. His kind comments about her ability gave her the confidence to study with intent and she will go into the exam feeling strong and ready. Thank you John.

John has been amazing in helping me build confidence in trying to complete A-Level Biology and Chemistry in one year. The lessons are always engaging and the exam techniques provided are so useful. I am really enjoying the course with John and would highly recommend him to anyone studying these A-Levels.

Tutors Response :

Dear Imogen,
It is a great pleasure to help you. You are very capable, really determined, and also great fun - I always look forward to our lessons together! Although we are doing both biology and chemistry in just a year you are already well ahead of schedule re getting those A*s and you are going to absolutely smash the exams. I`ve had tutees get 100% before and if you carry on progressing like this you`ll have a chance of doing it. I`m also looking forward to helping you with the personal statement and medical mock interviews. Good luck with the forthcoming UCAT and thank you again for being such a stellar student. Keep it up!

So far I have attended four sessions with John and I am extremely pleased with how they are progressing. John offers guidance and support to a high level and I am confident that he will help me to attain the highest grade I am capable of. I would recommend him to anyone studying A level Biology.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for the feedback Theo.
It is an absolute pleasure to help you. You are hard working, always quick to ask, and you act immediately on advice. I`ll be very disappointed if you get an A, we are definitely aiming for a comfortable A*.

John is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about the subjects he teaches and in wanting to help his tutees reach their full potential. He is helping my daughter to understand the exam topics and thereby increasing her confidence. This is backed up with the provision of questions to work through ready for the next session. He is very friendly and approachable and keen to update me regularly.
