With previous experience tutoring GCSE and A-level Maths and Biology to students in England as well as Nat3 through to Highers here in Edinburgh. I also value and focus on exam technique, as I believe it is crucial that a student is able to communicate and show what they know. I am excited to get back into tutoring and am very familiar with planning and tailoring lessons to suit an individual tutee's needs. I find it very important to first assess the potential tutee and then set attainable goals to work towards. I use a variety of resources depending on the needs or interests of the student, ranging from classic teaching tools (such as tailor-made printouts and worksheets) to more modern approaches such as online apps. I believe the most important thing is to engage with the person I am trying to teach, as if they are not interested in learning tutoring becomes twice as difficult.

John is a great tutor who made me feel comfortable from the start. He’s really good at identifying gaps in my knowledge and gave me confidence that we could tackle the topics I found confusing. He used visual aids, which made the information much clearer and easier to remember. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for support.
John is a very engaging teacher with a strong background in maths and biology, including a PhD. He creates bespoke lessons/worksheets aimed at strengthening a students understanding of the subject and work towards their exam goals.
