II) MY STORY SO FAR
Now for the fuller version! :) My successful teaching career so far has saw me manage some of the most challenging of UK’s classrooms for the past 20 years’+. During this time, I have consistently been ranked an inspirational grade-one “outstanding” teacher in my present school, and have delivered KS3, GCSE and A Level English, History, and Maths in the secondary and sixth-form sectors, far surpassing students’ target grades and national pass rates. Moreover, due to these outstanding results and teaching innovation that led to my lessons cited in Ofsted reports for their commitment to Equality and Diversity, I have served as Head of Department; helping us to be awarded an internal grade 1 “outstanding” rating during my tenure.
Whilst in this position, I also became Lead Internal Verifier for NEAs across the department; Lead for UCAS Applications, managing the pathway for students into top universities including Oxford and Cambridge; Lead for Departmental Higher Education Provision, in which I crafted curricula for a variety of degree level courses; and Learning Mentor for the “Gifted and Talented” Programme, that saw me guide some of the UK’s most deprived learners to become the first in their families to go to university-work which is still very close to my heart.
Furthermore, I have extensive experience of driving up educational standards within schools and colleges. Thus, as an Advanced Teaching Practitioner-tasked with developing best teaching practice, I’ve led Action Research Projects yielding invaluable data on topics such as: whether computer games can be used productively in the classroom; can Miro whiteboards better engage kinaesthetic learners, and how to increase achievement rates of learners with Protected Characteristics. Thus, through such incisive research as well as mentoring colleagues, this role saw me play a decisive role in turning around failing cohorts in some of the UK’s most challenging classrooms, improving life-chances by engaging disenchanted students and improving poor behaviour.
Furthermore, as well as my time as an examiner for a variety of GCSE/A Level exam boards, I have shown myself to be an inspirational mentor to both students and new entrants into the teaching profession. Therefore, as a teaching mentor to many new entrants on the PGCE programme, I am proud to have helped develop the next generation of the UK’s teaching talent through careful observation and support of their practice. Allied to this, I have been a mentor on the UK Government’s “Gifted and Talented” initiative. This saw me nurture the intellectual curiosity and resilience of students whose SATs results indicated great academic promise, with my guidance resulting in learners in areas of high social deprivation attaining prestigious university places at Durham and King’s College, amongst others.
Moreover, due to this long history of being a highly sought-after teacher and mentor, my educational views have been sought out if I would like to appear on national media and radio to discuss government school policy, whilst also being head-hunted to tutor the children of prominent public figures including Premiership footballers, PGA Junior golfers, England cricketers, Olympic athletes, construction tycoons, and even the family of a Nobel Prize winner, all of which has been extremely humbling.
In terms of my extracurricular activities, I am an accomplished entrepreneur. In being born into the bottom 2% of UK’s most deprived households, I have been proud to become an accomplished property developer, with my own significant UK portfolio of residential holdings and stocks, as well as being co-founder of a former nationally operating property brand. This has saw me acting as a business mentor for disadvantaged students on entrepreneurship, and how to begin their own property investment journey, which has been a real joy in guiding 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 Grand Strategy of the USA and China, as they negotiate the twenty first century during a period of superpower decline. Furthermore, I enjoy travelling with my young family in Tuscany and my wife’s homeland of Mauritius, supporting my beloved Manchester United (a very interesting experience!), hiking in our home of the Malvern Hills, and playing the drums (although, not as much as I used to, with two small children!)
As my full and varied career has hopefully shown, I have a passion for using my specialisms of English, Maths, History, Biology, International Relations and Entrance Exams, taking great pride in providing the best academic and pastoral support I can, whilst hopefully being an inspirational role model for my students, as I help them forge their way in the world.
III) MY QUALIFICATIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
🎓 PhD (start pending) at University of Warwick - My research will analyze the decline of the US superpower and its implications for international security architecture, focusing on its great power relationship with China during this structural change. This work will lead to several International Relations articles and culminate in my first full-length book on the subject.
📜 MRes (Dist) in International Security from University of Warwick - I won academic plaudits for writing an “outstanding and genuinely original dissertation” that represented “an important contribution to existing literature in the field of International Relations.”
🏅 PGCE in Secondary Education - Ranked amongst the top trainee teachers in my year’s cohort, with outstanding feedback in academic assignments and during my placement in an area of high social deprivation.
🎓 BA (Hons) in English/History from University of Birmingham - Received special recognition for achieving academic excellence despite coming from the bottom 2% of UK families in terms of economic poverty, of which I am immensely proud.
🏆 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 certain key modules.
🏢 Co-founder of a former nationally operating property brand specializing in HMO and BTL investment, consultancy, and management.
🏗️ A skilled property developer with a personal portfolio valued at circa £3.1 million, and experience as a consultant on residential and hotel renovations worth circa £16 million+.
🌟 Inspirational academic/business mentor to disadvantaged students, guiding them in the start of their entrepreneurial journey.
IV) MY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
In terms of my teaching and tutoring experience, as stated, I have 20 years’+ experience turning around some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as challenging high achieving learners in the pursuit of academic excellence. This has seen me teach/tutor across the curriculum Key Stage-ranges (7-18 years), extending all the way to postgraduate level students. Whilst I have much experience in teaching learners lacking confidence and those with Special Educational Needs, my rigorous yet friendly approach is also well-suited to developing the most able pupils.
As Head of Department, I raised English and Maths pass rates with a 25% upwards leap in my opening two years, with most students achieving at least one grade above their targets, with Ofsted noting the rapid improvement. As regards my tutoring practice, my pass grades in subjects of English, Maths, History and Biology have been consistently outstanding, so that the vast majority of my tutees pass with strong academic grades, attaining entry to prestigious institutions across the globe. Thus, during the last three academic years, my tutees enjoyed superb results in my specialist subjects, with 94% reaching their target minimum grade, and 74% exceeding this mark, entering fantastic institutions including Concord College, Oxbridge, The Sorbonne, Malvern College and the University of Heidelburg, as well as world-class employers like Rolls Royce and Microsoft.
Therefore, over my career as a leading global tutor so far, I am proud to have delivered over 37,000+ lessons across 5 continents and 42 countries, from the UK to Ukraine, and beyond.
As stated previously, I also have considerable mentoring expertise, in having built my own UK property portfolio currently valued at £3.1 million from sourcing, to renovation, to letting, I have mentored many adult and teenage entrants into property investing, guiding their purchases and renovations to the overall value of £16 million, and counting. In addition to this, I have also been an informal mentor to UK gang-affiliates, tasked with persuading them to turn their lives around, and embrace the transformative potential of education, which has been among the most rewarding roles of my career thus far.
V) PARENT FEEDBACK
😊 “Jonathan is fantastic and my 15-year-old has had a big turnaround in his view of education. Now he can't wait for his lesson!”
👏 “I could not have wished for a better tutor for my son! I cannot praise Jon's enthusiasm for his subject, motivational skills, and professionalism enough.”
👍 “The biggest testimonial comes from my son, who now looks forward to and enjoys his weekly visit! Praise indeed from a teenager!”
🌟 “I have nothing but praise for Jonathan.”
🎉 “George is totally happy to see him, which is a miracle at 3pm on a Saturday!”
🏆 “Jon is a fantastic teacher—the best tutor I have ever had.”
💬 “AMAZINGLY helpful, nice, and very cooperative.”
🎓 “Thanks soooo much Jon, Ashleigh passed, she won't be doing retakes and is feeling incredibly relieved.”
🍀 “We feel lucky to have booked a place with him early on, as he seemed to be fully booked before December.”
📚 “Never passed an English test before in my whole life, then came to Jonathan with very little time for my first GCSE exam and managed to get an A for English Literature and a B for Creative Writing. 10/10.”
🤝 "Jon has a unique ability to get students on board 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 4/5 to an 8!!! We were extremely pleased and put this down to Jon's 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.”
VI) SOME OF MY PROUDEST STUDENT MOMENTS
In having tutored thousands of students globally over the past 20 years, it is always hard to choose my favourite student moments. Nevertheless, here are a few, which just help to illustrate my global reach, experience, and expertise.
🏏 (Helping a Brilliant Cricketer Make the Grade): When I started tutoring this learner, confidence was low and time was short. We had to increase the GCSE English Language and Maths grades to a 6 minimum, for entry to a prestigious boarding school regarded as the cradle of many of England’s top cricketers for the national team. The time pressure was intense, as we only had 3 months to jump 3 grades. Nevertheless, with a robust study plan put in place and constant emotional support (in between the daily net sessions!), it was a wonderful moment when they received their acceptance results, with the student going on to represent the national team. Great job :)
⛳ (England’s Golf Captain Heads to the States): I began tutoring this student locally, and we bonded immediately, with each lesson always bringing much laughter due to their brilliantly dry sense of humour. With golf tournaments taking place internationally, this required much flexibility and leveraging of online learning tools to bring the required results. I was so pleased they achieved their sports scholarship at a top US university, before hopefully joining the PGA Tour. I still remain in touch when I can, and am privileged to be charting their amazing progress in the sport.
📚 (Creating an Amazing Bermudan Scholar): What began as a quick essay editing session quickly developed into a full academic partnership lasting over 5 years, during which we achieved 96% and 97% in iGCSE English Language and Literature respectively, despite sitting the exams a year early. This vast improvement led to the school offering a £28,000 scholarship to study the International Baccalaureate, and entry into the school’s elite university preparation programme. Superb work, and extremely pleasing to see such inspiring progress.
🌍 (Tutoring Sudanese Refugees Trapped in a Warzone): In one of my toughest, but most rewarding tutoring assignments, I was sought out by a family of Sudanese refugees, who’d been caught up by a recent coup. With the US embargoing the country, this meant we didn’t have access to top US tech brands like Microsoft, etc., which definitely made things tricky! Nevertheless, we ensured minimal disruption to their education throughout a very difficult political period. Now they are happily preparing to enter a European university, which was a life-changing result for them.
VII) TUTORING APPROACH
Besides enjoying superb results, my pupils benefit from a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere, with high commitment being expected of them. This is demonstrated in both their personal and academic growth, which is among the most rewarding aspects of tutoring for me. I’m very friendly with a great sense of humor (so I’ve been told!), and I use this to make the learning as enjoyable as I can, while strengthening self-esteem and exciting the minds of my students. Through this, it is more than tutoring to me; I see our time together as equipping them with the vital skills they need to excel in later life.
In terms of lesson delivery, I always strive to be on the cutting edge of education, using the latest educational technology, teaching resources, and methods. Therefore, my approach to tutoring currently makes use of the techniques of “blended learning” and utilizes the following:
🎥 Industry-standard video conferencing and modern presentation tools like Miro—used by global brands like Coca-Cola and Nike to power collaborative learning.
🌐 Powerful virtual learning environments, resourced by well-known educational companies such as Twinkl and Century Tech, to help every one of my learners maximize their potential.
🤖 Judicious use of AI-powered apps and programs to explore key educational concepts, mark schemes, and model answers.
📚 Fully personalized lessons, tailored to topics, skills, and levels being explored by the learner at school.
✍️ Interlocking homework provided, to consolidate key concepts and themes explored within each lesson.
🎮 Innovative approach to learning, from using computer games as inspirational stimuli for creative writing (which have been used as national exemplars by UK exam boards) to debating contemporary issues affecting all young people for speaking and listening tasks, such as: “How Will AI Change Humanity?”
😄 A friendly and engaging approach to learning, seeking to make it fun yet intellectually rigorous at all times.
With 20+ years of experience in the UK’s most challenging classrooms, I have constantly honed my approach to teaching and tutoring, creatively using ed-tech to ensure no learner is left behind as we cover the curriculum in an accessible and enjoyable way.
Needless to say, I am a passionate advocate of the transformational value of education, which is a joy, never a chore. Having been fortunate enough to build a property brand and investment portfolio, I now tutor primarily for the sheer enjoyment of helping develop the next generation of learners. Education enabled me to escape a childhood of abject poverty, and with this in mind, I always do my best to ensure I give each and every one of my students the best start in life I can.
If you’re looking to work with one of the leading tutors in the industry with a proven track record of academic and commercial success, then I’m happy to help.
Thank you ever so much for reading :)

Working as a teacher in several schools has helped me gain experience teaching learners of different ages and abilities, from top set pupils to learners with profound learning difficulties.

Hello there,
I am qualified English teacher with extensive successful experience teaching in both state and independent schools. In addion to my degree, I have 3 post graduate qualifications, including a Masters in Educational Management and Leadership (Distinction) - the dissertation of which was on raising the attainment of pupils on Pupil Premium. I am a former School Principal with over 10 years of leadership experience. I have extensive experience in tutoring Key stages two to GCSE level. I have have
Raising the academic attainment of students has been a deep passion and successful achievement - as a former Founding Principal of a school for 4- 16-year-olds, a current practising English teacher, and a tutor. I am currently teaching English on a full-time basis and therefore have up-to-date knowledge in English Language and Literature. I have significant experience teaching remotely. In addition, I have extensive experience in marking GCSE English Language and literature papers. Over ten years, 98% of my tutees have entered elite grammar schools (a few students have gained scholarships each year, too). During the last two years, 97% of my English Language tutees have achieved levels 7-9 in GCSE English Language and 96% levels 7-9 in GCSE English Literature.
I am well-resourced in teaching face-to-face or online. An initial consultation with parents and tutee, possibly a view of the school reports, will enable me to gather necessary information about your child. Importantly, the tutorials enable me to obtain first-hand knowledge of your child, enabling me to plan my lessons for the individual.
I look forward to working with you to raise the attainment of your child in an engaging way
Warm Wishes,
Yasmin

Hi, my name is Kully and it's very nice to meet you. Thank you for taking this time out to read my profile!
For the last 10 years, I have been working as a primary school teacher at an outstanding school.
I have over 15 years experience and have worked within many schools, two of which were long-term.
Over the years, my teaching career has allowed me to experience many different and difficult situations. These in turn have made me a more confident, organised, resourceful and experienced (in many years groups) teacher.
My current role is a Year 2 class teacher, however I have taught children from Nursery up to Year 6 as a cover teacher too.
I took part in the Government led school tutoring program, where I tutored 3 children from Year 2 in Writing. This has deepened my experience further, especially when assisting children to achieve the best they can.
I have carried out and planned for many 1:1 or group interventions in Maths and English to assist with our school's Covid catch-up program.
I want to build a good rapport with my pupils, a relationship that is fun, respectful and honest.
It's all about adapting the learning to the pupil and making them feel that they are in control of their learning too. Having a good sense of humour always helps too!
Please leave a message if you would like to discuss your child's needs.
Looking forward to meeting you.
My focus is English ( all levels), Maths ( functional skills), Arabic ( Quran reading only), Science ( up to KS2 at present), Motivation, Study Skills & Dealing with Stress.
The difference between a ‘good’ student and a so- called ‘ struggling’ student is confidence and focus. I will help you with both, and then with my subject knowledge and patience and encouragement, you will soon be on a winning streak!
I will also show you the science behind how the brain learns and stores things in it's memory, so that you can work with it in the most efficient way, rather than learning something in one class and then forgetting it by the next.
I have attended several workshops, and now deliver workshops, designed by the NHS, on Motivation, and How the Brain works etc. I was an excellent student at school, but also went through a period of ill health at University when I fell behind in my work so I know how it feels - I have good empathy and will help you to regain your confidence and to prioritize your tasks and feel less overwhelmed. I offer a unique service at a reasonable, negotiable price because I want to help people and I regard teaching as a vocation, not a job.

Hi my name is Katie
I’m 23 and from the UK
I love travelling and want to better peoples English.
Would love to meet you and tutor you.
I am a very experienced secondary school teacher with 20 years experience in various school settings. I have a calm and supportive manner with pupils and am quickly able to strike up positive working relationships.

English Literature, English, History, Politics, and Citizenship lessons in Studley, UK.
As a passionate and dedicated Primary Education teacher, I offer a personalised, engaging, and supportive tutoring experience tailored to meet each learner’s unique needs. My background includes a broad spectrum of classroom experience across three distinct placements: working within a high SEND classroom, a mainstream primary setting, and a private school. This has given me the adaptability, empathy, and versatility to support students from a wide range of educational backgrounds and abilities.
I understand that no two learners are the same. Whether your child needs help building confidence, catching up on key concepts, or stretching themselves further, I create a calm, positive learning environment where they feel heard, supported, and motivated. My experience in SEND education has equipped me with effective strategies for differentiation and breaking down complex ideas, while my time in mainstream and private education has strengthened my knowledge of the national curriculum and high-achievement expectations.
Beyond academic support, I focus on building strong relationships with my students, helping them to grow in confidence and become more independent in their learning. I aim to make learning enjoyable and accessible, using creative and practical approaches that inspire curiosity and foster a love for learning.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is professional, patient, and genuinely invested in helping your child succeed, I would love to support their journey.

Having chosen my lessons any student can be sure that they will be provided with the necessary materials and sheets, that we will find the convenient time throughout the week and that the lesson will be fun, useful and clear. Speech practice is what is normally the accent is made on, as I stick to the communicative approach but if the student's goal is, for example, on the contrary, to boost writing or listening skills, this is exactly what we will do until the result is perfect. I have been teaching all my life, I monitor the news and the tendencies and I believe in people's abilities unconditionally. See you online!
