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.”

🌟 “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 :)

Check out my great reviews!
Is maths a mystery? Do you wish you understood ‘why’ as well as ‘how’? If you ask a question, does your teacher give the same explanation again and again? It doesn’t have to be that way. My methods really work; my students increase their mathematical abilities and confidence, and can explain what they’re doing. Some are so excited after my lessons that they can`t wait to tell their parents all about it! Do you wish your child was so inspired by their teacher that they voluntarily did extra maths in order to improve?
If your child has had a difficult time with maths at school, or perhaps you`ve tried other tutors and been disappointed, fear not, there is a better way. Follow other parents who have noticed their child leave my lessons with a grin, and a bounce in their step, follow other students who have messaged me after exams to tell me that there was so much they could do! This way works; maths doesn`t have to be a mystery.
I'm a qualified teacher with 12 years experience of teaching in schools and as a private tutor. I cover all secondary maths, including the IB and all A-level boards. You can find reviews on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550861671606) and more reviews on this page https://www.tutorhunt.com/users/mrstreen/.
In the first lesson, I`ll ask lots of questions to get a picture of what my new student can and can`t yet do, and more importantly, what they understand. I`ll then use that to build a programme for the next few weeks, including any topics that they would like to work on. Often I point out weaknesses that my students haven`t noticed or haven`t realised are holding them back; once we fix these, progress is visible and can be quick.
My planning is completely flexible and is built around my student’s progress and needs, and I use a variety of resources so that we can explore topics in different ways. I am patient and used to explaining concepts in several different ways to find the way that works for each individual. I don’t teach tricks (unless you want me to), I focus on helping students to understand.
What online lessons require and involve
Having online lessons is often something students haven’t considered or perhaps feel daunted by. I’ve taught a number of students online, some exclusively so and some when convenient e.g. when they or I went on holiday. Online lessons also allow me to be more flexible over timings and to offer a lower rate since no travel is involved.
Has your child ever been so excited by their maths lessons that they asked to have one while away on holiday? My students have!
Online lessons require a computer, not necessarily a laptop, internet access and a quiet room.
I carry out lessons on Bitpaper, an online free whiteboard. If students sign up for an account, they can save that whiteboard and come back to it whenever they want. Thus they have ready-made notes after each lesson.
My students can opt to have cameras on or not; I am always happy to follow my students’ lead on this. I know some people prefer to work unseen whereas others like being able to look at my face as we discuss topics. What matters is that my students are comfortable.
I set homework on another website, also free to use, that marks work for me and the student and allows me to focus on giving feedback and correcting misconceptions.

Mathematics lessons in Worcester, UK.
Very well qualified mathematician, with considerable experience of tutoring to GCSE level.
Very patient.
Online tuition only.
Like to include some homework which can be marked/monitored between sessions.
I work at Bishop Perowne Church of England School in Worcester but have been tutoring for much longer than my time there.
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.
