He was friendly and taught my daughter at her level and at the right pace. Would definitely recommend Jonathan.
From Sarah
My son was predicted grade 3 for combined science GCSE foundation in the September of Y11. Jonathan tutored once a week at my home and was very patient and encouraged my son (who is dyslexic) and adjusted his teaching methods to ensure as much understanding as possible. My son achieved grade 5 in the exams, which was a fantastic result and fully due to Jonathan's tutoring. We cannot recommend Jonathan enough. Highly and thoroughly recommended.
From Lorraine
Jonathan is a patient, enthusiastic and methodical tutor who gave invaluable support to our son whilst preparing for his GCSE science exams. Highly recommended.
From Silvina
Thank you so much Jonathan, we deeply appreciate you and your patience and dedication with our daughter helping her improving her science learning skills… You made it engaging and sometimes even fun. Always punctual and you showed you really care , checking always with her if it was working, repeating the concept or with another approach if needed. She really values all she has learnt with you, thank you!
From Adrian
My twin 15-year olds really enjoyed the first 2 sessions this week on their least favourite subjects. The acid test. "Shall i cancel these as you aren't having GCSE's this year? No way, I enjoyed it!" Thanks JL
From Carole
Jonathan is an excellent tutor who applies a very flexible approach to his teaching in order that he covers what my daughter feels she needs more explanation on in preparation for her combined Science GCSE. He has also been very accommodating around the timing of his sessions. I would high recommend Jonathan as a tutor.

Jonathan helped my daughter get a strong pass in her GCSE
From Amy
Jonathan is an excellent teacher and has been a brilliant support for my daughter this year as she prepared to sit her double science GCSE. I cannot recommend him highly enough and we are simply thrilled that he has agreed to stay on with our family as our second daughter begins her GCSEs in September!
From neil
Jonathan was punctual and offered flexibility in session times to fit around a revision timetable and offered additional sessions as needed. His enthusiasm is clear to see, and he is able to explain complex theories in a straightforward manner. He has a great deal of patience and will try to engage with the tutee rather than just lecture facts, which ultimately builds the confidence of the tutee. I would strongly recommend Jonathan as a tutor. Whether its to secure a GCSE pass or to push for a top mark Jonathan has the skill set to help the tutee to achieve their goal.
From Hayley
Jonathan tutored both my daughters through GCSE Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Jonathan is very good at explaining complex topics and patient in giving examples and ensuring the concepts are properly understood. Both my daughters have done exceptionally well, achieving As in their final GCSEs. I would recommend Jonathan to any prospective tutee.
From Smita
Jonathan is punctual and professional.So far our son is liking his lessons.Hoping for the best in future as well.
From Kevin
Jonathan was a very effective and focused tutor who helped take our son from a 'U' in his mock exam to an '8' in his final GCSE. We found him to be flexible and amiable.
From Nina
Jonathan is an excellent tutor. He has a professional yet friendly manner and quickly established a good rapport (which was essential) with my daughter who had lost all confidence and hated science. Jonathan has an excellent knowledge of the GCSE curriculum and was able to explain scientific concepts in a simple way and make lessons fun. I found him to be patient and encouraging which really improved my daughter’s confidence, self belief & motivation. Within 6 months, with Jonathan’s support, my daughter went from 2:2 in the combined mocks to 8:7 in this summer’s GCSE combined science. I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as a tutor.
From Caroline
Jonathan was always punctual & professional and my daughter’s confidence in science improved considerably.
From Emma
Jonathan has been fantastic helping my son through his Science GCSEs. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and he genuinely cares about getting my son through. My son says: Jonathan always has useful resources and has the sessions planned. He is friendly and good.
From Jennie
Only one session but my son was really pleased with how it went. Thank you.
From Alison
Jonathan tutored my daughter through her GCSE core science for 12 weeks leading up to her exams.
He methodically worked through each module, to help her understand the syllabus, answer her questions and work through her revision guide. Whilst we are awaiting her results, the tutoring gave her confidence that she was better prepared and understood more content.
I would recommend Jonathan, he is open to feedback and guidance on the best approach to ensure that key information is absorbed and wants to work with parents to ensure he is adding value to your child's knowledge.
From Rina
Jonathan haa been a great Tutor for my daughter. Always punctual and organised. My daughter has found he explains topics in a clear way which has helped her in her schoolwork.
From Deborah
Jonathan has helped my daughter with weekly sessions for over 6 months now with her GCSE work in biology, chemistry and physics. He has been prompt and reliable to the sessions, and he has also been flexible when I have asked for changes. He has worked hard with my daughter, who has benefitted enormously, with increased confidence and good marks in tests. They have developed a good working relationship, and my daughter has found the sessions enjoyable as well as useful. I would recommend Jonathan as a tutor.
From Terry
Jonathan is an excellent tutor. My boy is so lucky to find him.
From Alan
Jonathan was always prompt and not in a hurry to leave. I always found him polite. My grandson found him helpful and knowledgeable.

From Shraddha
Jonathan is very knowledgeable and has an eye to details. Very punctual and trustworthy.
From Erica
Jonathan tutors our boys aged 10 and 11 in Science and Maths twice a week, with a view to getting them through Common Entrance (they are currently being home schooled for a year or two). They both very much enjoy the lessons and are making very good progress in both subjects. I highly recommend Jonathan as a tutor.
