About Jonny

I am a specialist in the subjects of Film and Media; I studied Film & Video at the University of South Wales (the campus where they filmed Netflix hit 'Sex Education'!) receiving a 2.1 overall and a 1st for my dissertation on the changing representation of World War II on film from 1939-present day.

After a 10 year stint in conference production I returned to the world of film & media as a teacher earning a distinction in my PGCE and winning both Oxford Brookes University's Secondary Trainee Teacher of the Year (2022) and a Bronze Award at the National Teaching Awards (2024) for Outstanding New Teacher of the Year. I've taught both Film and Media Studies at GCSE and A-level as well as running a film-making club for younger years and organising a 'House Film' competition to encourage students to develop their practical skills and portfolios for university admissions.

I am currently undertaking a Masters in Film Practice at Arts University Bournemouth which allows me to be fairly flexible with my availability.

I have a strong understanding of both film/media theory and practical production so can support with deepening understanding of subject content, writing structure for essays/exam answers, revision and tips for developing great NEA/production work.

About the lesson

Sessions can be either one hour or two. For 14-18 students sessions are focused on a mix of revising key topics to develop your depth of knowledge and writing skills to get you exam-ready. I have taught both GCSE and A-level Film Studies and likewise both GCSE and A-level Media Studies. I have experience with both AQA, Eduqas and OCR specifications but can easily adapt tutoring to Cambridge International content. I can also advise on NEA development.

I am also able to support undergraduate film students with essay structure, deciphering key academic concepts/theories and offer tips on production work too.

You'll find all sessions have a friendly, relaxed vibe tailored to where you're at in your learning and whatever you need to help you progress.

Perfect! We were looking for support with GCSE Media for my son as the teaching at his current school had left him with a lot of gaps. Jonny has been amazing! He identified areas that needed working on and has helped increase my son’s confidence in this subject no end. He listens to what my son feels he needs to work on too and so together they’ve covered a lot. He’s flexible with timings fitting in sessions when we needed them and without all his knowledge in this subject I’m not sure where we’d be this close to the exams. We’d highly recommend Jonny as a tutor

Johnny Roberts taught me during my a levels, he was a superb teacher. He was great both in and outside lessons, he gave us such detailed lessons that were always thoroughly researched which gave me knowledge that I frequently use now at university. He was always willing to assist me outside of lessons with 1:1 sessions which really strengthened my skills as well as giving me a passion for my subject. Jonny is friendly, supportive and was always eager to help me when I needed it.

I had Jonny as my film teacher for my A-levels and I wouldn't have gotten the grade I got without him. He's super supportive and understanding and is great at explaining necessary details in a fun and informative way.
I'm not the best at essay writing so many of the tips he gave me and practice papers were super helpful for me when it came to the real exam.

Jonny is one of the most inspiring, creative and dedicated educators that I have ever worked alongside. A Pearson National Teaching Award Bronze Winner 2024. I would highly recommend any student who is struggling or needs a boost in the run up to exams, to take up the opportunity of working with one of the very best teachers in the business. Jonny is someone who cares deeply about the progress of his students and installs the self belief they need.

Find out more about Jonny

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
I study Film Studies at A-level and progressed to studying Film & Video at university, I’ve always been passionate about film and the wider media and at university I re-started the student newspaper, helped launch a student magazine, launched an online student TV channel and had a show on the student radio! I passed my PGCE in Media Studies top of my year group and I’ve taught Media, Film and Drama as well as some Key Stage 3 English.
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
I love teaching Film and/or Media Studies. In Media I most enjoy teaching newspapers, TV and advertising, in Film I most enjoy the experimental film section and supporting students to complete their NEA.
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
My Film Studies teacher at A-level was transformational for me, she inspired me to take my love of film to a new level.
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
Understanding each student is different and will benefit from different ways of explaining things or practising.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.
My profile picture is me holding a genuine Best Picture Oscar, sadly it’s not mine but was taken at a Screen Skills Berkshire event at Shinfield Studios in Reading where I met the producer of ‘The King’s Speech’.
What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?
I think in Media Studies getting your head around the theorists is difficult at first but once you realise it’s mostly common sense arguments in fancy words it becomes easier!
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
My biggest passion is for watching and making films, I like discovering old classics as well as going to the cinema to see the latest releases. I’m studying a Masters degree in Film Practice at Arts University Bournemouth at the moment. I love seeing student’s films or music videos for their NEA and at my last school I organised a student filmmaking competition where the winners got their films screened at the local cinema.
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?
I won a Bronze award at the National Teaching Awards for Outstanding New Teacher of the Year in 2024, I think that’s largely down to my passion for helping students realise their potential in Media and/or Film.

Graduate in Film, PGCE in Media Studies teaching, currently undertaking a Masters in Film Practice. I can help with your Film Studies or Media Studies needs via online sessions. Winner (Bronze Award)
