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.
PARENT FEEDBACK

--"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”.
--“He is heavily in demand which speaks volumes in terms of his reputation and is super knowledgeable and prepared for all elements of the syllabus.”
--“He went from a predicted a 4/5 to an 8 !!! We were extremely pleased and put this down to Jons ability.”
--“I wish we had found him earlier! We highly recommend him!”
--“He is helpful and gifted at tutoring kids so they understand exactly what they need to change or improve on. We will be using Jon for all of our children.”
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.

Chelmsford, England
Science Clinic Private Tutors was founded in 2010. Our vision was to help struggling children understand the concepts of the major subjects which are sought after by many colleges & universities. Our tutoring was mainly in the main subjects (Maths, all 3 Sciences & English Language) to exam students only. Because of the huge demand of tutoring in all year groups, we now teach students across the board from Primary (KS1 & KS2) through to GCSE, A-level and University. We were luck to have had colleagues we share the same vision with join us. Now we can teach all subjects from Primary through to GCSE, College /A-levels and Science & Maths at University level. All our teachers / tutors are graduates and qualified teachers with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) who understand the National Curriculum. Some of them are examiners at GCSE and A-level, which means they know the exam techniques students need to answer the exam questions properly and get better grades. Within the team, we have professionals with very high qualifications ie Masters Degrees (MSc / MA) and PhDs in various subjects. We can, therefore, be confident to say we are professionals who are dedicated to what we do with proven records in the UK’s most entrance and national exams. We are a tutoring organisation that is defined by its professionalism. Our aim is to provide a personal service. This makes us very different from most tutoring companies that just offer a platform for tutors and students to meet. We speak to clients so that we can match them with the most appropriate tutor for their needs. When this happens, the results can be remarkable & confidence grows. We personally know all our tutors and all have had DBS checks and their qualifications checked before we take them on. We are also a member of The Tutors’ Association (TTA) which was formed in 2013 to provide standards to the tutoring industry.
I prefer to build strong, personal relationships with students, because I believe personal relationship is foundation to student success. The more associated the student feels, the more teacher earns respect and consideration, the key ingredients for students to learn well. I teach to the student's strength that helps me to minimize the student weaknesses. I always listen and communicate early and often with parents, that helps me to map a better plan for success. I always believe that, the better lesson planning by tutor leads to student success. I always plan my every session keeping these 6 points in my mind. 1. Outline learning objectives 2. Develop the introduction 3. Plan the specific learning activities (the main body of the lesson) 4. Plan to check for understanding 5. Develop a conclusion 6. Create a practical timeline I have got Engineering degree qualification, which makes me the most appropriate tutor for mathematics subject. I have studied as well trained the simplest mathematics as well as complex one. So, I know the subject's concepts, ideas and problems inside out. I can discuss and introduce the rigor of real-life applications. I can make learning relevant to students' interests, thus create more students who actually care about what they are learning. I am very much aware of National Curriculum of UK and know about the key stages and the assessments, the student would go through after completing each key stage. I always prefer to discuss child's progress with his/her parents by the end of each assessment. That would assist me to meet the expectations of parents.

I have a great deal of experience as a tutor. I have been working at one of the UK's leading Grammar Schools for the past four years. I tutor maths GCSE and A level online. I have also conducted numerous online webinars/ webclasses and drop-in sessions for students across the country for A Level maths. I love to make maths engaging. My instagram and YouTube accounts (Mark-a-minute maths) has had a wide following from students and I consistently post short 1 minute videos for students to get snappy, bitesize reviews of topics and model answers to exam questions.

Every child deserves an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be. I am currently a student of BA (Hons) in Primary Education with QTS at Birmingham City University. I am wanting to move into a NQT position to put the information and experience picked up from this course into practice. My long-term career ambition is to become the lead of a subject area or year group in KS1 or KS2; utilizing my knowledge and experience to positively impact the lives of the children and colleagues around me whilst being the best teacher I can be.
During my GCSEs I completed some work experience in my local primary school. I worked with young children from the ages of five to seven. This experience encouraged me to build a variety of different skills and abilities. Realizing I had the ability to improve the learning of numerous young people was exceptionally fulfilling, which is the reason I have chosen to seek a profession in teaching.
To be a teacher is to establish a solid, positive, and healthy learning environment where students are ready to learn. It is significant that the classroom is one in which courtesy, achievement, respect and compassion are stimulated. I want to have the opportunity to offer children the chance to learn in a way which will amplify their learning and improve their involvement in the classroom.
I have great communication abilities which are fundamental in the classroom environment to guarantee information has been imparted to the children successfully. I recognize the significance of understanding that each student may require an alternate way to deal with learning. Through my own experiences through placement, I have had the option to adjust and tailor work to suit every child’s requirement, assisting them with conquering learning obstructions.
With advice and experience during my placements, I had the chance to see how differentiated lessons and exercises benefited the lower and higher ability students and how to incorporate these techniques into my own practice. This gave me an understanding as to how kids adapt and learn in different ways. Subsequently, differentiation is crucial to ensure that students are all meeting their targets and objectives.
I am a coordinated and prepared individual who holds a high standard of requirements and expectations for all young people, no matter their academic ability. As an educator I think testing and challenging children appropriately helps to satisfy their potential. It is significant for their academic achievement and a crucial perspective in thriving during their learning in school.
During my degree, I have accomplished three placement practices in a wide breadth of different communities in and around Birmingham. One in KS1 (Year 1 working class Birmingham) and two in KS2 (Year 4 upper class Birmingham & Year 5 inner city Birmingham). Having my placements in three very different communities and areas have allowed me to adapt my skills when planning, teaching and assessing due to the schools being so different from one another. Throughout all these placements I have had the opportunity to plan and teach for my chosen age range, 5-11 as well as 3-7. I was extremely fortunate to have had this chance to see first-hand the contrasts between planning, training and teaching both age ranges.
I have co-operated with fellow teachers in my school placements to design lesson plans, attended staff meetings and training workshops. I have learnt many aspects such as how to deploy teaching staff, differentiating lessons appropriately and assessment. My university modules on assessment, differentiation and inclusion informed me on the most proficient methods to use in my own lessons, to guarantee that the appropriate children are aided with the correct support.
In my first teaching practice (year 1), I was placed in a class with a fellow student. This was an extremely positive experience for me as I had the chance to ‘team teach’ with her. This opportunity to allow us to critically analyse each other’s performances and presentations within the classroom. I learnt that sharing the learning outcomes and success criteria with the students, allowed them to analyse and track their own progress within the lesson. This allowed me to use my AFL strategies within the lesson, seeing which children were on the right path and which children were not. This informed my evaluations of the students and my planning for the following lessons, allowing me to appropriately differentiate.
During my second teaching placement (year 4), I took in the significance of time keeping and planning lessons, to allow and guarantee young children are achieving and successful in the exercise. I took in the advice from my placement mentor and class teacher when planning my lessons in a way that allowed me to structure my lessons appropriately. I arranged how long each activity should be, to keep the children interested. After using this planning technique, I noticed a change in my lessons, the children were more focused and on task. This encouraged a sense of routine within the classroom, which positively affected the children’s achievement.
In my final year placement (year 5), I had a major focus on differentiation and assessment. At the beginning of my practice, I sat down and spoke with my class teacher and discussed the appropriate ways in which I could differentiate appropriately in maths and English. I took this advice on board and implemented this in my own planning and activities. I took the advice of the subject leaders in maths and English on how to appropriately assess the children’s book work. By looking at their own books, I managed to gain a string understanding as to how I can challenge the pupils further and eventually close the gaps in their learning. I also assisted the class teacher and wrote some mini reports for parents evening, using my knowledge of assessment to inform this.

My sessions will be influenced mostly by the needs of the student in question. If you need help understanding simultaneous equations, we can spend half an hour on that. If you need help on a specific question, I'll walk you through it. If you want extra practice with quadratics, I'll draw some questions for you. And if you have absolutely no idea where to start, we can either go through the syllabus bit by bit, go through past papers or pick a topic out of a hat. Parents are also welcome to make suggestions and requests as well.
