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.

🍀 “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.”

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 :)

I offer individual tutoring online and in my home to those who are sitting GCSE and A Levels in English Literature and Language. I am also very keen to help slightly younger pupils who need help with general English skills like: reading, comprehension, grammar and punctuation, and general writing skills. I am also very keen to help adults who need help with written and spoken communication skills
I am working with Tutor4All . We offer a range of tutoring services for GCSE's and A-level students. Our tutoring sessions are designed to be engaging, interactive and focused on student's specific areas of improvement. First Lesson is on Us!
For nearly 10 years, I have been working both as a private tutor and a schoolteacher, teaching predominantly Spanish and English to students of all ages and abilities in person and online. Following a lifelong love of languages, I studied Spanish and English Literature at GCSE, achieving A* and A respectively, and at A-level, achieving B and A* respectively. In 2015, I advanced my studies at the University of Reading, where, in 2019, I obtained my BA in Spanish and English Literature. In my year abroad, I studied in Mexico (University of the Americas Puebla) and Cuba (University of Havana). Since graduating, I’ve taught thousands of hours of Spanish and English online to hundreds of students, reaching the top of the Spanish tutor ranks on another platform and receiving dozens of positive, predominantly five-star reviews from satisfied clients across the continent. Knowing from personal experience how challenging learning a foreign language or mastering the art of essay writing can be, I aim to facilitate the process for my students by personalising my lessons to their individual needs. Personable, passionate and productive, my mission is to help my students not only achieve but exceed their goals.
Experienced English teacher/tutor with experience teaching all ages and stages from BGE, N5, H and Adv H. Over 13 years mainstream teaching experience. Moreover I am an SQA marker with expertise of marking all three papers of N5 and Higher English.

As an experience English teacher of 7 years as well as a tutor of 5 years, offering tuition provides tailored instruction designed to meet the individual needs of students. These sessions focus on essential aspects of the English curriculum, such as grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing skills. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, the teacher ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their thoughts.
The benefits of having a private English tutor are significant. First, students receive one-on-one attention, allowing them to progress at their own pace and concentrate on areas where they may struggle. This personalised approach leads to a deeper understanding of the material and can significantly improve academic performance.
Additionally, a tutor can help students develop effective study and revision techniques, which can be crucial for exam preparation. This not only boosts students' confidence in their abilities but also equips them with the tools they need to succeed in their assessments.
Moreover, working with an English tutor can foster a greater appreciation for the subject. By exploring literature and writing in a more personalised setting, students may discover new interests and strengths they were previously unaware of. Overall, the combination of individualised attention, tailored lesson plans, and targeted support makes private English tuition an invaluable resource for students looking to enhance their skills and achieve their academic goals.
English, Physical Education, and Sports Psychology lessons in South Ockendon, UK. I have been teaching just over 8 years. I have taught in various environments, FE, Secondary, Primary and in Homeschool and PRU situations. I believe that tutoring offers a specialised expereince and ability for the stuent to be given pure focus for that time slot. It allows for impact and for student progress. I absolutely love working in Education, specifically tutoring as I enjoy seeing the rewards that I get from the students whom I work with. I specialise in FE, students whom may need motivation who are not accessing their education and may need that help to get back on track and to see where their education/ A-level studies can take them. I love working with new students as I make it my purpose and mission to understand their learning styles and cater my lessons towards them.

Hello, my name is James, a Montessori qualified educator, offering rich, creative, imaginative lessons drawing on years of experience as a teacher and consultant in order to bring the curriculum to life, each lesson tailored to the specific needs and interests of the child.
After co-founding my own Montessori childcare setting in Bristol, which I ran as the lead teacher for 3 and a half years, (2017 - 2020) I went on to offer webinars for parents and educators as a consultant with Montessori Centre International (2020-2021), the training college I completed my diploma with. I have continued working as an independent consultant in the period since, with specific focus on embedding the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum in new and exciting ways, primariily for children aged 7+ through project based learning.
Drawing on Montessori Pedagogy and Philosophy I know through my own lived experience the entire curriculum can be successfully taught to the child by observing their interests and creating lessons that directly inspire their heart and imagination, increasing curiosiry and engagement in the classroom. E.g. if I observe a child of four with a fascination for dinosaurs I can use this as a jumping off point to teach Literacy, Storytelling, Phonics, Mathematics, Handwriting, Geography, Geology, Anatomy, Animal Kingdoms, Plant Kingdoms, Chemistry, History, and infinitum! All through a play based learning approach. For a child of seven with a love of babies we can teach World Cultures, Life Cycles, Human Geography, Physical Geography, History, Economics (tourism industry), English Language, and infinitum! This is the perfect age to provoike inquiry based learning and critical thinking, the child fascinating with 'How' and 'Why' questions. This deep thinking level curiosity ought to be encouraged at every opportunity. Teaching need not be as boring as sitting down and saying, "now we're doing this," we insire the imagination through movement, storytelling, big questions, provocative statements, laughter, humour, the joy of learning and exploration. The child will move seemlessly through the curriculum, ticking the boxes of all the Key Stages and more; because in Montessori we teach the universe, the cosmic education, as I navigate through Maria Montessori's 'Great Lessons' from the Big Bang, to The Story of Numbers (#MakingMathsExcitingAgain).
Your children will have a lot of fun with Montessori James, as I am also a trained professional clown, so we will have fun with humour and playfulness.

My name is Rebecca, I am educated to PhD level in Linguistics and I have over ten years experience of tutoring/teaching various subjects and levels at different institutions from tutoring privately, to tutoring at community centres and at universities.
I primarily tutor English at Nat 5/GCSE and Highers/A Levels though I have plenty of experience teaching English as a foreign/second language to all ages and levels both casually and professionally as well as academic English. I am also able to assist in the research methodology component of Nat 5/Higher Psychology.
I currently lecture research methodology and English at an international college. I am also an examiner for Cambridge for the English general comprehension paper and the English Language paper.
I have had a passion for language and assisting people with their learning since a very early age. I write poetry and, as as a lover of science fiction and fantasy, I engage in world building and write fantasy novels.
My lessons are tailored to the needs of the inidividual. My approach is patient, compassionate and scholarly. I enjoy sharing wisdom with my students and cultivating a passion for learning for the sake of learning.
I am also flexible, if extra time is needed or a change in location or day or time of session is required, I can accomodate.
Please be advised that I am disabled, part of my disability is limited mobility. I therefore prefer online or to meet students in very nearby neutral locations. I am based in Cambuslang where there are plenty of coffee shops/cafes.
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with over 10 years of experience. I have a huge passion for teaching and find it most rewarding to see children progress and excel under my guidance.
I offer tuition in the following areas:
- English
- Maths
- Creative Writing
- Year 6 SATs
- 11+ Entry Exams (Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning)
- Interview Preparation
Every child deserves an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. In addition to focusing on a child`s academic progress, I always look for opportunities to boost their confidence and self-esteem - as these are crucial for a holistic development. Difficult concepts are broken down in smaller ones through scaffolding using different techniques differentiated according to each child`s individual need. It is important to push each child past their comfort zone, and I do exactly that with the students I tutor by challenging them in different ways. I tutor children across the primary phase, all the way from teaching how to read and write in English, to solving complex problems in Maths, to preparing them for their upcoming SATs or 11+ exams.
I tailor my lessons to cater for each child's individual needs. I have a gentle and friendly approach towards children and I always look for ways to help them make connections between the things they learn and for them to develop a love for learning. I believe that every child is truly special and unique. I have successfully tutored children with specific learning needs, as well as children that have English as an additional language. All my students have made excelled progress in their studies, therefore most of my students come from personal recommendations of happy parents :)
