About Jones
Hello I am John, a qualified science teacher working as a lead practitioner of science in a secondary school teaching all three sciences. I have a range of experience of teaching the sciences (biology, chemistry and physics) from ages 11-18 in Key Stage 3, GCSE, IGCSE and A-level in different syllabuses. I have studied two science-based degrees, the most recent was science with education and QTS, where I qualified with a 1st Class Honours and qualified teacher status. I currently teach all three sciences in a secondary school. I aim to find out where the student's current learning is at then teach and support them in their learning. I am a kind, caring and supportive tutor and aim to go at a pace that is comfortable for them to make good progress. I go through a topic by explaining concepts with examples and diagrams, I ask questions to find out prior knowledge. Once something is covered I ask questions to check for understanding and if appropriate go through example exam questions at the end of the session. I work on improving exam question answering techniques and go through strategies in order to achieve this. After the session I can set some tutor tasks, these can vary from completing some exam questions or other suitable tasks that I feel will be appropriate to progress learning. Students and parents/guardians after tutoring from me have commented that the student is more confident in the subject and my tutoring has supported their learning. Actual grades have always gone up compared to predicted grades prior to tutoring with me and in some cases by 3 grades and achieving grade 8/9 Any questions at all, please get in touch University : - Sheffield Hallam University - Science with education and QTS [1st Class Honours] School : GCSEs - Biology [A*] - Chemistry [A*] - Physics [A] A Levels - Biology [A] - Chemistry [A]

First lessons will begin with getting to know the student and about their strengths and weaknesses in science. Then sessions will move on to the main body of the session. Sessions start with a few quick answer questions to get them thinking about the area we will be covering in the session. Then there will be a series of me discussing concepts where possible with the aid of diagrams and text on the screen to help the students process the information. All along I will be asking the students for verbal or written responses to check their understanding and address any misconceptions they might have. Sessions are laid to find out what their gaps in the concepts are and addressing improving these. Past paper exam questions are given and the students supported in how to answer these with exam tips.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
My son made a late decision to study Biology GCSE so we turned to John to help him catch up. John is a fantastic tutor. He is student centred easily identifying my son’s learning style and adapting his teaching to suit. He is a great communicator and has worked well with us to build a study schedule. I highly recommend him.
I want to commend John on his thoroughness and his meticulous method used to deliver work to my son, Anthony.
He got my son’s attention. I saw better results from science assessments. Whereas my son was lacking interest in science John was able to peak his enthusiasm especially as he did the group sessions.
I thank John immensely and to this site he is a credit to your organisation.John is a kind and patient tutor, who has the skill to adapt his tutoring to all levels, including to children with learning difficulties. He has really helped my Son increase his science knowledge and improve his confidence. My Son finds school academically difficult but has enjoyed his lessons with John
John is a patient and supportive tutor who spends time to explain things fully so that understanding is complete. He is honest with feedback and wants the best for you.
John is well organised with excellent time management skills. Whilst working full time john managed his time to allow him to complete work experience and assessments required to gain entry into university.
John took the brave decision to become a mature student, move across the country and pursue his dream to become a teacher.
John is a friendly welcoming person who will put his students at ease and work hard to meet their needs.See more recommendations
