Information about John

I am a teacher of Biology and Environmental Science to A Level, Science and Maths to GCSE; an Environmental Professional, Zoologist and Freshwater Biologist; and am fluent in Spanish and German

"John taught my son Biology in his A2 year. He was prompt, reliable & always came with a structured lesson plan. He worked with Jack particularly on the tricky areas that needed readdressing & taught him how to understand & answer the questions in order to gain the maximum marks. He was very patient & they worked through the areas together. Jack found John`s extra tutoring invaluable as he was not getting the help from school that he needed. He achieved an A grade & we can`t thank John enough. Thank You. The Thompson Family."

"Just to let you know, I`ve been accepted into Cardiff university and got a B in Biology. Thanks for all your help. Harry"

"Angus was really pleased, he got an A in Biology (7)! Thanks very much for all your help."

"John tutored both my children, who were attending XXX at the time.
The children found it easy communicating and working with John. He is professional, patient and sympathetic with an excellent knowledge of his subjects. Both children achieved excellent results in their GCSEs, my daughter is now at University and my son is in L6.
We have no hesitation in recommending John to any parent looking for an outstanding tutor.

John is an excellent tutor and he’s helped me go from a predicted D grade in A-level Biology to achieving a B as my final result. This has enabled me to progress into higher education at Manchester Metropolitan University. Lessons are very tailored to what you, as a student needs to work on and John makes it easy to understand complex concepts. He also supported me with Environmental Science, and we worked through many past papers in both subjects, which really helped build my exam confidence. Thanks to his patient and clear teaching I felt more prepared and motivated throughout my studies. I definitely recommend John as a tutor to anyone looking to gain confidence in their learning.
