John is very friendly and approachable. Rather than watch the clock and end sessions as soon as the time is up, John was always prepared to offer extra time to allow the question being worked on to be completed. I think this reflects John's generous nature. There was a fun aspect to the problem solving questions, and I preferred this fun and friendly approach, rather than have a serious and strict tutor. I believe the tutoring took my A-Level results up a grade (to a B), and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you John
From Ian
I contacted John for help with FE level maths for engineering. 20 years since I had scrapped though maths GCSE and so calculus and such like terrified me. John's love of maths and teaching is infectious and his friendly approach worked well with me. I passed my course with distinction. From GCSE C grade to Further Maths Distinction. Quite proud of that, cheers John.
From Angela
John supported my son (16yrs) with his A level maths. John went above and beyond to support and guide my son through all the sections of the papers. On many occasions this exceeded the session time but John continued to work with my son ensuring he understood the material (adding no extra fees). John will drive you/your child to achieve their best possible grade and doing so with a friendly, kind and welcoming manner. I highly recommend John!
From Gerard
Punctual, reliable and professional. Well liked by our daughter and is clearly a good teacher. Highly recommended.
From Brigitte
John seemed to be a good tutor but I thought that he would be more suited to tutoring older students. Our daughter is only 12 so I think that a younger person might suit her better.
I met with Brigitte and her daughter for a preliminary discussion about how we would proceed. I provided some work and an activity which we went through. This session was unpaid, as advertised. Brigitte subsequently decided not to proceed with the tuition as she would prefer a younger tutor. Fine, but I don't think that this comment and a rating of 3 out of 5 should appear on my profile when I actually haven't done any tuition.
From Martin
Before commencing with the tuition from John, my daughter was graded at a lower end C for Maths. Last week, she collected her results and passed with an "A". We had approximately 2-3 months of weekly tuition
This would not have been possible without John. He is extremely dedicated and was able to operate on the same level as my daughter. He is always very punctual and never clock watched. I booked hourly tuition and I don't think John ever finished before 75 minutes. A testament of his dedication to ensure his students understood and were comfortable with what he was explaining.
I would have no hesitation in recommending John to others.
I'm so pleased that the exam went well. Many thanks for the feedback; much appreciated.
