John has been a huge help for my son’s GCSE English. His guidance on essay structure, text analysis, and timing has been incredibly effective. Thank you for all your support.

John is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and has done a great job of increasing my son's interest in the books he is studying for his English Literature GCSE. Most beneficially, John has provided a much deeper understanding of the assigned texts, including thought provoking analysis which has not been covered in class by my son's teacher. This has given my son additional insight and more to discuss during his exam.

Tutor response

Many thanks for your feedback. I am delighted that we are achieving the twin objectives of better understanding and enhanced enthusiasm for his literary texts. Your son is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to Year 11.

John has been amazing from day one; very responsive, extremely helpful, and most importantly he tutored my daughter in a fashion that she understood, which ultimately gave her more confidence in her drama texts.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your feedback. Your daughter's enthusiasm and energy made tuition feel like a refreshing and lively conversation. I wish her every success in the future.

John has been tutoring my son Tomas for 6 months. From the very first lesson, he created a supportive and encouraging learning environment. John's expertise is unmatched. His explanations of English Literature and Language topics were very clear and engaging. Thanks to John's patience and encouragement, my son's English skills have improved significantly and his confidence in writing grew. I am incredibly grateful for John's support and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any student willing to succeed in their GCSE English Literature and Language exams.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your review of my work with Tomas. It always makes a tutor's task easier when he has the whole hearted support of the student and his family. But the key to this was Tomas' own resolve to apply himself, to think carefully and take care over the details. I felt lucky to have him as a student.

This is a review from my 17 year old son, who John has been supporting with A level English for the last 9 months: John has been instrumental in renewing my interest in English Literature, offering new insights and alternative perspectives on my texts. Our discussions broaden my knowledge outside of the curriculum as well, drawing on different historical, social and artistic contexts to inform my studies. I am very grateful for the help I have received from John so far and look forward to our future sessions.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your review. Your son is a delight to tutor, openminded, imaginative and creative. I consider myself lucky to have the chance to work with him.

John is an excellent English tutor for my two sons, one of whom is preparing for his GCSEs. I've noticed significant progress in their learning, and their confidence has also grown considerably. I would highly recommend John.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback on my work with Thiran and Gian. Their enthusiasm and hard work make my job a pleasure.

alkaFirst Tutors

Mr. John is an excellent tutor providing invaluable support to my daughter in her GCSE preparations. His patience and politeness are exemplary.

Tutor response

Hi Alka. Thank you so much for your kind and supportive feedback. It is a privilege to be asked to help a young person achieve their full potential. We have a way to go, but your daughter is trying her hardest. I could not ask for more.

JaneFirst Tutors

Very pleased with the standard of tutoring provided by John - he explains clearly and in a way that my son enjoys.

Tutor response

Thank you Jane. I appreciate your comments. Harry is fun to teach works hard and keeps an open mind. I cannot ask for more.

NamrataFirst Tutors

John's classes have been really helpful for my son's improvement in English Literature and Language, as he has been getting better marks in both segments. He helps analyse the set texts in detail and explains the context behind it in order to give a greater understanding to my son. He has also showed him different ways to structure an essay in the longer questions on the language papers. He covers most things in depth and provides good feedback to his work.

Tutor response

Thank you Namrata for your positive and encouraging feedback. Ishaan is a great pleasure to teach. Attentive and open to new ways of looking at approaching writing and longer form essays. We have a year to go and i am sure there is even more improvement to come.

JulietFirst Tutors

We found John to help our home-schooled daughter learn the course for her Classical Civilisation GCSE. She only had one year to complete the course and John has been excellent in teaching her. She sat the exam recently and felt that she had been well prepared. John knew his subject well and so was able to give lots of extra background information to the subject and was always clear in his explanations. He was very professional in his dealings with us, always giving notice for any lesson changes. It was a pleasure to have him as our daughter's tutor. We would highly recommend him.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your detailed and enthusiastic feedback. I really aopreciate it. Clara was a terrific and diligent student. She had a great background in classical myth and legend which made it easy to enhance and deepen her understanding. It is greatly to her credit that she coped so well with packing two years' study into a littke more than a year. I was especially pleased that we established such an effective student/tutor relationship. I wish her every good fortune in the future.

MatthewFirst Tutors

John has been excellent! John started working with our son at the beginning of Year 13. He was able to understand where our son was very quickly, and then added immense value to his revision and exam preparations. Our son thoroughly enjoyed all his sessions with John, and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a Classics A-Level tutor. Thanks John!

Tutor response

Thank you Matthew for this very positive feedback. Gabriel was an absolute pleasure to teach, open to new ideas and always well prepared. I wish him every well deserved success he will achieve in the future. With my warmest best wishes John

DavidFirst Tutors

I contacted John during Easter break to help my daughter prepare for her upcoming GCSE English exams. She is a good student, but English is her weakest subject. John quickly responded and started giving her 2 lessons / week which she has found helpful.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for your feedback and the chance to work with Maria. She is a great student and I wish her every success in all her exams this summer. Best wishes. John

FabienneFirst Tutors

Although the lessons with John were given in a relaxed atmosphere, my son needed more structured lessons and help with writing essays.

Tutor response

Thank you for your feedback. Tutoring is a highly personal matter and my first objective is to establish a calm and sensitive atmosphere and a positive working relationship with each student. From my perspective, in the four lessons we had together, Jack and I were well on the way to building a foundation for long term success. I wish him all the very best in future. Best wishes John

VikramFirst Tutors

I reached out to John for my child's GCSE support. John has been an excellent help. His support and constant guidance has increased my child's confidence level immensely. He has thorough knowledge on both English Language and Literature. He explains each topic in great depth. He also helped a lot in reviewing my child's GCSE past paper attempts and provided great feedback. He is very flexible and open to reschedule the lessons based on my child school schedule. I fully recommend him. My best wishes to John. Thank you.

Tutor response

Thank you for your very positive comments. It has been a pleasure to work with such a dedicated and committed student.

YanmeiFirst Tutors

John taught my daughter GCSE English for one time. I can feel his passion for literature, he talked about every book my daughter mentioned and talked 10 minutes Shakespeare and history relationship when he knew my daughter like English and history, two subjects. He was able to ask some very in-depth questions to find out my daughter's level. He was very friendly and patient. My daughter liked John very much. I believe John is the best English teacher I've ever met so far.

Tutor response

Thanks Yanmei. I really enjoyed talking to your daughter and hope to work with her in the long term. I appreciate your kind words.
