MY STORY
I am currently a grade-one “outstanding” teacher in my present school, and have been delivering KS3, GCSE and A Level English, Maths and History in the secondary and sixth-form sectors for the past 16 years, in which time my results have far surpassed national pass rates. Moreover, due to these outstanding results and innovative teaching methods, I have served as Assistant Head of Department; helping us to be awarded an internal grade 1 “outstanding” rating for the 6 years in which I held the post. Furthermore, I also have extensive experience as an “Advanced Practitioner”-tasked with turning around failing cohorts in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as my time as an examiner for a variety of GCSE/A Level exam boards.
Moreover, due to this long history of being a stand-out professional in the education sector, my advice has been sought out for occasional media and radio appearances for discussions on educational policy, whilst also being head-hunted to tutor the children of prominent public figures including Premiership footballers, Olympic athletes, luminaries of the business world, and even the family of a Nobel Prize winner for a month-which was awesome!
Furthermore, in also being an accomplished property developer with my own UK real-estate portfolio and honorary co-founder of a former property company alongside my partner, I have acted as a business mentor to Year 11 students on entrepreneurship, and how to begin their own journey in property investment, which has seen me guide some of the UK’s brightest new generation of business leaders.
In my remaining spare time, I am currently engaged in the pre-reading for the start of my future PHD in International Relations, during which I will be studying the geopolitics of any superpower conflict over Taiwan. Furthermore, I enjoy travelling extensively in our second home of Tuscany with my young family, supporting Manchester United, playing the drums, and playing the PlayStation (although not as much as I used to, these days!)
As my full and varied career has hopefully shown, I have a passion for English, maths, history, and the 11+ exams, taking great pride in providing the best academic and pastoral support I can, whilst hopefully being an outstanding role-model for all of my students, as I help them forge their way in the world.
QUALIFICATIONS
--MRes (Distinction) in International Security from University of Warwick-won academic award for writing an “outstanding and genuinely original dissertation” that represented: “an important contribution to existing literature in the field of International Security”.
--PGCE (Distinction) in Secondary Education-ranked in the top 2 trainee teachers in my year’s cohort, with outstanding feedback in academic and practical assessments
--BA (Hons) in English/History from University of Birmingham-received special award for achieving academic excellence despite coming from the bottom 5% of UK families in terms of socioeconomic poverty
--A Levels (A* in all subjects taken): prize winning student in my sixth form for most inspirational pupil, and was in the top 2% of the UK for my academic results, including 100% in key modules
TUTORING EXPERIENCE
I have a broad range of experience turning around struggling students in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as challenging high achieving learners in the pursuit of academic excellence. In my teaching and tutoring career thus far, I have taught across the curriculum age-ranges (7-18 years), as well as undergraduate and postgraduate level students, and specialise in teaching troubled learners lacking confidence, whilst pushing very bright pupils.
Since I began teaching at my institution, English pass-rates received a 25% upwards leap in the opening two years and my tutoring pass grades in my subjects of English, maths and history have been outstanding, so that the vast majority of my classes/tutees are now passing with strong academic grades, and attaining entry to prestigious preparatory schools and/or universities. During last academic year, my tutees enjoyed superb results in English, Maths, History and the 11+, with 96% reaching their target minimum grade, and 68% exceeding this mark, entering prestigious institutions such as the University of Durham, University of Heidelburg and Bromsgrove School, as well as world-class employers such as Rolls Royce. Therefore, over my career as a “super-tutor” so far, I am proud to have delivered over 15,000 lessons across 1000 students within 32 countries, from the UK to Hong Kong.
I also have considerable mentoring expertise, in having built my own UK property portfolio currently valued at £2.75 million from scratch, I have mentored many adult and teenage entrants into property investing, guiding their purchases and renovations to the overall value of £14 million, and counting. In addition to this, I have also been an informal mentor to UK gang members, tasked with persuading them to their back on lives of criminality, and embrace the transformative potential of education, which has been among the most rewarding roles of my career thus far.

--"Jon has a unique ability to get students onboard in a short amount of time. He is quick to establish a rapport, building on trust and confidence which makes an ideal platform for focused learning”.

TUTORING APPROACH
Besides enjoying superb results, my pupils benefit from a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere, with high commitment being expected of them and this has shown to bring both personal and academic growth, which is always pleasing to see. Moreover, in strengthening self-esteem and exciting the minds of my students, to equip them with the skills they need to excel in later life, I seek to provide them with only the finest education possible.
In terms of my lesson delivery, I always strive to be on the cutting-edge of education in use of teaching resources and methods. Therefore, my approach to tutoring makes use of the techniques of “blended learning”, utilising advanced video-conferencing software, modern presentational packages such as Prezi, powerful virtual learning environments and resourced by well-known educational companies, all supported by online platforms provided by GCSE Bitesize, amongst others. This constant innovation was perhaps best illustrated by my recent use of computer games as a learning tool, which led to some of my classes’ GCSE English creative writing being utilised by exam boards as exemplars to share across the UK, in which they were inspired by video games such as Halo and Mass Effect to attain grade 9s.
In light of this dedication to using Smart tech to deliver a first-class education, throughout my teaching career in inner-city schools and sixth-forms, I have become known for never leaving any learner behind, whilst using creative methods in covering the curriculum in an accessible and enjoyable way.
Needless to say, I passionately believe that education should be a joy, not a chore, and I always do my best to ensure this for each and every one of my students, both in the classroom and online.

Looking for History or Geography tutor? Hello 👋 I am currently a teacher of history and geography at a secondary school and have 5 years of tutor experience. Supporting students at KS3, GCSE and A-level. I have a masters in research in history.
I am a 65 years old tutor of predominantly History and Politics, with English and Religious Studies as my supplementary subjects.
Willing to teach on-line by Skype (preferred) or Zoom, as well as person-to-person.
As you will note from my qualifications and professional experience, I have taught all four subjects for some 35 years, at College, University, Sixth Form College and High School. While the majority of my teaching has been in the UK, mainly in Birmingham, London and Bristol, nevertheless I have also taught abroad at university in the Philippines. Additionally, I have been an A'Level Politics and History examiner for the former London and Oxford & Cambridge boards in the 1990s and early post-millennium decade. So also, have I written course brochures for the History and Politics Distance - learning programmes for the National Extension College, Cambridge. All of this has added up to my having acquired a broad professional experience, which I put to the benefit of my students.
My teaching style is very much subject and communication based, with the emphasis applying knowledge and essay skills towards achieving the best exam results. There is also a priority attached to reading and grammar skills, both of which appear to be neglected by the contemporary British educational establishment. Hopefully I can use my experience and robust teaching methods towards enabling students to gain their best performance in exams and careers. - Please also note that I am happy to tutor students on-line - ie. Skype (Preferred) or Zoom, and have a fair experience of this kind of teaching.

I am a current secondary school Modern Foreign Languages teacher with over a decade of experience. I can tutor Year 5 to A Level for French and Spanish, from Year 7 to Year 11 for History and A Level for Politics. I can tutor in person or online.
I am an enthusiastic educator with a wide variety of general knowledge. This makes me ideal for early years tuition as I can both give structured lessons and passionate off-the-cuff mini-lectures, depending on how the student best learns - because children do tend to learn better when they're learning about what interests them.
I am an educator with nearly 15 years experience of teaching people from all ages and backgrounds in a variety of settings, both formal and informal. I am a specialist history teacher with experience of teaching from Years 4 to 13, but I have also taught RS and geography curriculums. I am a qualified SENCO, who has a CPT3A qualification in psychometric testing and exam access arrangements.

With this in mind, I also tutor GCSE English to students with SEND, including students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dysgraphia.
With a decade of teaching experience and the acquisition of an Ancient Cultures degree, I am deeply committed to the exploration of novel educational perspectives and the in-depth examination of pedagogical psychology. My profound love for the pursuit of knowledge, coupled with an insatiable appetite for inquiry and comprehension, serves as the bedrock of my teaching philosophy. My utmost aspiration is to share the wealth of knowledge acquired over my years of academic and professional growth and to infuse my students with an enduring enthusiasm for the subjects at hand.
In addition to my pedagogical endeavours, my fervent passions extend to the realms of music, theatre, literature, as well as a profound intrigue for history, culture, and languages. The desire to seamlessly amalgamate these fervours with my career path has been the impetus behind my decision to pursue certifications in certTESOL and dipTESOL.
Moreover, I am particularly thrilled by the prospect of engaging with students hailing from diverse corners of the globe. The opportunity to collaborate with individuals from various cultural backgrounds not only enriches the learning experience but also underscores my commitment to fostering a global perspective in education.
In essence, my extensive teaching background, coupled with my academic qualifications and eclectic interests, converge to form a compelling foundation for my pedagogical journey. My unwavering dedication to igniting the flame of curiosity in my students and to cultivate a deep appreciation for the world's manifold knowledge and expression remains the driving force behind my educational endeavours.

I have consistently achieved outstanding results for students of all abilities. I have been a marker and team leader of GCSE exams for OCR and AQA exam boards.
Instilling knowledge is the key to exam success, and students are expected to learn facts to support their exam work. I also teach specific skills and structires needed to answer exam questions, using past paper materials and model answers. Marking work and feeding back are vital tools for me, as its getting students to improve selected areas of their work.
I have a great knowledge up to gcse level of these subjects particularly in sport and history however my basic math knowledge is still up to date and i'd love the oppotunity to tutor other students/people trying to reach the same level. I'm currently in sixth form thinking about my future and teaching is a possibility i've considered and would love for this to be a way into that career by gaining experience aswell as money.
