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 was a very patient and understanding tutor with my daughter who has anxiety. He began helping her with GCSE Biology and then, because we were so pleased with his tutoring, we extended it to Chemistry and Physics. My daughter really enjoyed talking to John and he managed to keep her on track most of the time. He is a very kind and knowledgeable man. He was also very flexible and adaptable with the sessions and times booked. We were really pleased to find John through the site and would thoroughly recommend him.
Tutors Response :
Mnay thanks for your kind words Ruth. I do hope Beth is now fully recovered, and look forward to good news about her results. (Just back from 3 weeks sailing in France, hence the delayed reply)
