About Jonathan
I am a single dad to a 7-year-old and Chair of Governors at his old school. I, myself, attended one of the worst schools in the country in a very tough estate and was a child-carer for a sick mum. I had a shocking education, but ultimately studied at Wadham College, University of Oxford, King's College, London and Birkbeck College, London. In terms of my professional life, I have worked in the City writing software for the financial markets, I have been a personal trainer and fitness professional and I have taught science and maths for over 20 years in secondary schools. I support Arsenal and am told that I have a good sense of humour. I don't tutor Tottenham fans.

I prepare resources through PowerPoint for every lesson. I also use Google Classroom to store past papers and additional resources. I am willing to set and mark homework if desired. I like to be efficient, so the lessons are fun and engaging and painless! I think Maths can be taught very badly. In my experience, students grasp the concepts, in general, (assuming they have been taught well) and can solve problems... only to forget how to do those problems the following month! Most KS4 students simply do not have time (or, in some cases, inclination) to remember by repetition. Yet, often, Maths teachers will have students doing 20, 30, 40 or more problems in the hope it will "sink in". I teach a few examples, work through a few problems and then help the students develop strategies to remember the techniques. We revisit, I keep good records of what has been learnt and we embed this knowledge through a creative and memorable process based on the learning styles of the individual student. I am high energy and hopefully motivating. If the students don't enjoy my lessons I am failing.

Jonathan is an absolutely brilliant tutor, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He takes so much care to understand each child’s individual learning style and adapts his teaching perfectly to bring out the very best in them.
We’ve been with Jonathan since our daughter was in Year 8, and she’s now going into Year 11 - which speaks volumes about just how much we value his teaching. Before working with him, she had low confidence in the sciences and often felt overwhelmed. Thanks to his patient, supportive, and engaging approach, she has completely transformed - she’s now incredibly confident and achieved fantastic results in her mock exams this year!
Jonathan is not only professional and knowledgeable but also wonderfully friendly and approachable, which makes lessons enjoyable and stress free. He has a rare ability to explain complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand, and he always makes learning feel positive and empowering.
After all these years, we honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else for science tuition - Jonathan has been an absolute game changer for us. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, inspires confidence, and gets real results, he’s the tutor you want.He’s a very good teacher — very friendly and able to make learning much more interesting. He explains concepts clearly, gives helpful examples, and makes sure you understand before moving on.
Explains information very well and does his best to include all students while making sure the information is being taken in
Jonathan was great for my son doing his GCSE’s. He did the online evening sessions and it really helped. It got from a 4-4/5-4 to a high 6-5 and we couldn’t be happier.
Jonathan is an amazing science tutor! He is easy going while being very professional. My son really enjoys his physics tuition and that work is reflected in improved grades. Highly recommend Jonathan.
Jonathan has very stimulating teaching style and lessons are very interesting.
Energetic. Great structure.
He used to present the lectures very nicely and involve my son in the process. Also his way of conducting lessons is very good.
Johnathan recently supported my son Benjamin with his A level physics in online lessons; helping him to increase his confidence, his overall understanding of physics and preparing him for his exams.
The support that Johnathan provided led Benjamin to obtain the grade he needed, which we were all very pleased about. Benjamin was always eager to attend the sessions and enjoyed his lessons with Johnathan.
I would happily recommend Johnathan for science teaching for A level physics and GCSE sciences. JuliaJonathan is coaching GCSE science to my daughter. He is very punctual and his knowledge on the topic is so clear. My daughter eagerly waits for his sessions. He explains the concepts very clearly, follows a set time table and includes few tests to increase her confidence too.
Highly recommend.With his qualifications in Science, Technology and Education, Mr J Walwyn is in an excellent position to deliver the very high quality lessons that he does. He quickly establishes a positive relationship with his students so that they very rapidly grow in confidence in their subjects. Displaying all the communication skills required, and vastly experienced, he brings a special warmth and enthusiasm to the highly professional delivery of his lessons. Dr. P.F.Walwyn, University Tutor in Education.
Jonathan and I taught Science together at King's Lynn Academy. He focuses on his students' academic outcomes with exciting and well-planned lessons that explain core concepts well. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a knowledgeable professional.
