My son has found John incredibly informed and very helpful in supporting him in the different areas of history he has to cover. I would definitely recommend. Update: John continued to support my son, Leo, with work on The Crusades and Modern Britain. Leo was most impressed with how much John knew about both these periods of history and said he was always kind and extremely helpful. He learnt a lot from John and it has put him in good stead for his future studies. Thank you so much John for your expertise and kindness.
Thank you so much Louise for your very kind words

From Sandy
John has been tutoring my 12-year old in History for half a term and in that time, has vastly increased his confidence and knowledge in the subject and hence his marks. John always replies promptly, is fully engaged in the process and my son enjoys his lessons which are planned and structured to his needs. We would thoroughly recommend John as a History tutor.
Thank you Sandy for your vrry welcome words and I hope James will continue to fliurish in the subject and achieve his goals.
From Sarah
John has been amazing in the 3 lessons my daughter has had so far. He has helped my daughter understand her A level history and what the examiners are looking for. He makes it clear and breaks it down in a way that she can understand. This has really boosted her confidence and hopefully will help her in the summer exams. There is some way to go yet but with John's help, she feels much more confident she will achieve it. Thank you!
Thank you Sarah. Your comments mean a lot and I am so glad I am helping Emily reach her gosl of a high grade in History

Thank you Julie for your kind words which I much appreciate and I hope I will be called upon to help woth your younger children
From Shan
Highly recommended. My son had John help him through his second year for history A Level. Absolutely wonderful. A hidden gem. Definitely try him out. John has an intricate and deep knowledge of his subject and is able to convey exactly what needs to be done in order to push for a higher grade. My son really enjoyed his lessons and has learned so much and I have seen him progress massively and more importantly he walked into his A Level history exams confident and walked back out very happy. He has been guided extremely well. John marked his essays and his constructive feedback was always correct and in line with what his school teachers gave. John’s help has been fantastic. It will be the best decision you make for them. The difference that John makes is that he really cares about ensuring his student does well and believes in them and that’s what you need. We tried a few tutors before him and frankly no one has compared.
Hi Shan. Thank you for your very kind remarks. I also enjoyed my tome with Ali and I will miss our regular sessions on Wednesday afernoons.
From Janine
Excellent tutor, highly recommend. The information he gives is in great detailed but simplified so my daughter understands.
Hello Janine. Thank you for your comments which are very welcome amd a confirmation that I am doing the right thing With best wishes. John
From Lisa
John was very kind and helped my son with his A 'level history work over 2 sessions. Thank you John!
From Linda
John has been tutoring my daughter for just three weeks. He has totally switched her back on to History which is just excellent.
He has a calm and kind approach and a talent for bringing things to life and injecting humour into the sessions.
I would highly recommend John.
Thank you Linda for your very kind and warm words. These are very much appreciated With my best wishes John

Hi Grace. What lovely comments and thank you for taking the trouble to make them. John
From Enis
John is an excellent and patient tutor with a vast array of knowledge. It’s not about the money with him, he routinely makes sure you fully understand the topic and what to change in order to advance your skill in the subject you’re being tutored for. He often went over the time limit with me, clearly showing he cares for his students.
I highly recommend!
Thank you Enis for your very generous comments and fingers crossed for the A grade you so richly deserve
From Colin b
John is an excellent History tutor and a lovely human being.
John is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent grasp of what is needed to excel in the subject. Moreover his manner, politeness and friendly demeanour set my daughter at ease, and in my opinion was significant to her success in her History A-level, in part giving her the confidence to choose it for her degree.
Over the years we have taken on a few tutors and can say without any reservation that John ticks all the boxes.
Good luck for the future John!
Colin, Sarah and Sasha
Thank you Colin for that eonderful feedback I am delighted that Sasha os going to study History at Soithsmpton Wishing you all the very best John
From Angie
John tutored my son whilst he was studying for his Politics ‘A’ level. John’s interesting discussions, advice, encouragement and essay writing tips gave my son the confidence he required to gain an ‘A*’ in politics and a place at Manchester University. I would highly recommend John.

Angie Day
Thank you Angie for your positive review. I always enjoyed my sessions with Max as he was totally engaged and determined to get to the top. Well, he got there and deservedly so
From Napsugar
John is an extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic tutor. He always took the time to expand on the required curriculum and helped my daughter gain confidence in her ability to answer source questions and write essays. He carries out his lessons in a very friendly and engaging manner. Highly recommended. Thank you, John.
Thank you Napsugar for your very helpful and positive feedback. I am glad I was able to help her confidence grow and she certainly deserved the B grade that she was predicted. With my best wishes for her future, I am sure she will relish university life.
From Kate
John has been a superb tutor for my son taking A level history. My son has been home educated and John has taught the complete syllabus to him. My son has enjoyed every lesson and has been making great progress. I can highly recommend John as a history tutor.
Adding to my original feedback now we have my son’s A level result. He was awarded an A for history A level. This was without doubt due to the excellent tuition from John. John is a caring and supportive tutor who was able to determine the style of teaching that my son responded best too and so ultimately achieved this very high grade. Many thanks John.
Dear Kate Thank you ever so much for your excellent feedback and I am so glad Robbie did so well. He has now a firm foundation from which to proceed to the next step
From Paul
John has helped my son achieve a grade A with his History A Level, due to his excellent tutoring. Thank you John.
Radha
Dear Rhada. Thank you for your positive and welcome comment which I am sure will be very helpful. John
From Elaine
I would strongly recommend John as an A level Government and Politics Tutor. Sadly he did not work with my son for long before we were told that the A level exams were cancelled. But I did note that John provided useful material for my son from the very first session. I have no doubt that if we had carried on at that rate, my son's school and exam grades would have signficantly improved. I would also add that my son blatantly refused to have a tutor until he met John and saw how useful John and that first session was to him. I cannot praise John highly enough. Best wishes, Elaine
Dear Elaine. Gosh! I'm overwhelmed. Thank you indeed for your very welcome and positive comments. I did enjoy my few sessions with Rob and I think we established a rapport quite early on which always helps. Do please keep me informed on Rob's progress as I do like to keep a record of such things. Thank you again John
From Rochelle
John, what a star! Our son's confidence was a bit put down with his History (Mock)GCSE results, therefore we had a slight panic as he wanted to do History for A level and needed a grade 6. John helped my son from earning a 4 to achieving an overall 6 - one of the papers (teachers request) will be remarked as they believe it is worthy of a 9. John, thank you for all your support and yes we highly recommend!
Thank you Rochelle for your very kind comments and I am glad I was able to help Shilo. Please get in touch if I can be of further for Shilo but in the meantime my best wisbhes are sent in his direction regarding his A Level. Also I will be very interested to know the outcome of the remark.
From Quyen
John is a gentleman and a passionate historian. He helped my son achieve an A at his A level from a B prediction. Most of all, he boosted his confidence whenever he got stuck. Thank you very much, John.
Dear Quyen. Thank you very much for your kind words. What is particularly exciting for Minh-Nhat is that he has been accepted by Bristol to read History which is a wonderful and well deserved achievement.
From SOO KYUNG
He is very nice and passionate about teaching. I will recommend him for a good history tutor if anyone needs the tutoring.
Thank you Scarlet for giving me such a positive feedback of my tutoring of Angela. As I said earlier it will be lovely to keep in touch and perhaps continue my tutoring of Angela. Thank you ever so much John

We asked John to help our son with exam technique for GCSE History and he made a real difference. A real gentleman with a very patient and supportive approach and a genuine passion for his subject.
Dear Mike Many thanks for taking the time to write your very positive comments which I appreciate very much. I hope that Oliver goes from strength to strength in his future courses. With my best wishes. John
From Clare
John's obvious passion for his subject, together with his technical knowledge of essay construction helped my daughter to raise her grade from a D to a high A for her AS History resit and to achieve a higher than predicted B for her History A level. He developed a good working relationship with my daughter and was very flexible in arranging tutorials. I would recommend John to anyone needing help with their studies.
Many thanks Clare for your wonderful comments. I spoke with Hannah this morning and wished her well for Reading. John
From Patricia
John has been tutoring my son in A level History (Irish History) for the past 6 months. He has been absolutely outstanding.
