About John
Mathematics has always been a subject that I have enjoyed, and I find great satisfaction in helping students discover that it can be understood rather than feared. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student who lacks confidence gradually develop the skills and belief to tackle problems independently.
I am a highly experienced one-to-one maths tutor with a proven ability to help GCSE, A-level and Further Maths students build confidence and improve their understanding. Every lesson is tailored to the individual because no two students learn in exactly the same way. My aim is to explain concepts clearly and patiently, building understanding step by step and giving students the confidence to succeed in examinations and beyond.
I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate and offer tuition in Buckinghamshire and online. Whether you are aiming for the highest grades, preparing for important exams or simply looking to gain confidence in mathematics, I will provide friendly, supportive and professional tuition to help you achieve your goals. One of the greatest pleasures of tutoring is witnessing those wonderful "light-bulb moments" when a difficult concept suddenly makes perfect sense. Seeing a student's confidence grow is what makes tutoring so rewarding.

Every student learns differently. My aim is to explain mathematics clearly, patiently and logically, helping students to understand why a method works rather than simply memorising it. As confidence grows, so do enjoyment and exam performance.
I offer personalised one-to-one tuition for GCSE, A-level and Further Maths students, tailoring each lesson to the individual's strengths, weaknesses and learning style. Whether a student is aiming to improve a predicted grade, prepare for important examinations or build confidence after falling behind, lessons are designed to meet their specific needs.
I believe that success in mathematics comes from developing understanding step by step in a supportive, encouraging environment. Students are always welcome to ask questions, however simple they may seem, and I work hard to make even challenging topics accessible.
Lessons are available in Buckinghamshire or online, offering flexibility to suit busy family schedules. (Duration 1 hour)
I have a mathematics degree, several decades of experience and I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate: I am committed to providing professional, reliable and friendly tuition that helps every student reach their full potential.

We feel very lucky to have found John Howard to tutor both our children in A Level maths from the second term of year one of the sixth form right to the exams. Both children found John a great help from day one. They said he always made what the teachers said much more intelligible and often could show them easier ways of doing things. Our daughter thinks John has made two grades' difference. He has always been well prepared for the sessions which she says have always felt personalised to her needs. We have never heard either of our children say a bad word about the sessions and they knew their worth and didn't ever try to dodge them. We couldn't recommend John more highly - a very knowledgeable, experienced and effective teacher.
5* hands down for John. We were passed on John’s details by my daughter’s friend, and I’m so glad I made contact with him. From the start, John was very professional. He offered a time that was convenient for Sophie to attend. Sophie was very nervous during the first session, but John made her feel at ease, took time to understand where she was with her maths journey, and worked at her level, being very patient and building her confidence every session she attended. I highly recommend John to every student that needs help with maths. Thank you, John, for everything you have helped Sophie with! You definitely have helped her 100%.
We cannot recommend John highly enough. Over the last two years, the progress Josh has made in maths has been incredible. When he first started, he lacked confidence in his abilities, but through John’s patience, encouragement and expert teaching, he has grown into a much more confident and capable student.
John has not only strengthened Josh’s mathematical knowledge and understanding but has also helped him develop the confidence to tackle challenges independently. His lessons have always been engaging, supportive and tailored to Josh’s individual needs, ensuring he felt comfortable asking questions and building on his skills.
As Josh heads into his GCSE exams, he is far more confident in both his knowledge and ability than we could have imagined two years ago. We are incredibly grateful for John’s dedication, commitment and support throughout this journey. He has made a real difference, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to any student looking to improve both their maths skills and confidence.John was my A-level Maths tutor, and he was genuinely one of the best teachers and mentors I have had. From our very first lesson, he was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, and he had a real talent for explaining difficult mathematical concepts clearly, logically, and simply.
What I appreciated most about John’s teaching was that he never just gave me the answer—he made sure I understood the reasoning behind it. He always tailored his explanations to how I learned and encouraged me to ask questions until I felt completely confident. His calm and supportive approach made every lesson enjoyable and helped me build confidence in my maths abilities.
Beyond supporting me academically, John had a lasting impact on my confidence and professional journey. I always felt that he genuinely cared about my progress and wanted me to succeed, and I really valued the supportive relationship we built throughout my studies.
I wholeheartedly recommend John to any student or parent looking for a knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated tutor. He is an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond for his students, and I do not doubt that anyone learning with him will benefit enormously.John has been a huge help to our daughter, he has supported her skills , knowledge and perhaps, even more importantly her confidence.
We just wish we had found John earlier. His patience, calm approach with the right degree of challenge has been a without doubt a really successful combination for us.
As parents we are grateful for the individualised teaching, which is totally child centred for our daughter’s needs.
John has changed all our views of maths and our views on what’s possible !
Huge thank you, we thoroughly recommend John and we will be seeking his support with our youngest son .See more recommendations
