About

I graduated in Physics from Liverpool University 1985. I teach Maths and Physics up to A level and Chemistry up to GCSE. I have worked as a private tutor for over 40 years and have worked in adult education in Liverpool Community College. I do not currently provide lessons on line but will travel to you within a reasonable distance from south Liverpool. I arrive on time and give a relaxed class that goes at your pace not mine. If you are under 18 then there must be another adult in the house while I am there just to ensure everyone's peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you soon and making your Maths, Physics and Chemistry problems go away.

Reviews from First Tutors

4.9 14 from First Tutors

Imported from John H.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

    John was a great tutor, asked my daughter what she wanted to focus on each week then went back to basics to help her remember everything.

    My son was struggling with Maths so I contacted John only around March to support him getting ready for his GCSEs. In only a short space of time, my son was able to understand & grasp Maths with John's help. Im very pleased to say my son passed his Maths GCSE & we cant thank John enough Thank you for your help & support

    John tutored our son in A level physics. John was extremely reliable and always prepared. At the end of every session he would discuss with our son what he wanted to go through the following week so he could prepare accordingly. When our son took his AS levels this year his mark improved. I can’t recommend John enough and will definitely contact again if required.

    My son found the step upfrom GCSE physics to A level challenging so we sought help with First Tutors. John's help was invaluable. He gave him his confidence with the subject back. He is reliable and flexible with an easy style of teaching . Face to face teaching with topics led by the student and taught with a calm and patient demenour. He helped my son get into his first choice Uni to study the subject he wanted. Would definately recommend.

    This is the second time we have asked for John's expertise in maths. The first was for my daughter's GCSEs 6 years ago and now for my son's A Levels, in which both have progressed quite brilliantly. I would highly recommend John to any pupil at any level

    John was reliable and flexible. Helped my daughter who was failing ALevel Physics in September21 after no tuition through college in Covid. He tailored each lesson around her requests she said he was very good with explaining highlighting important points and had his own good resources. Helped her confidence to tackle ALevel exam. Also did some required Maths too. She gained B in Maths and C in Physics near to B grade obtained her 1st choice University but starting a Degree Apprenticeship in Engineering. Thanks for your help and bringing her back from the brink .

    John helped me during the months leading up to my A Level Maths exam. He was flexible and always on time each week. I was able to choose what I wanted to study each week and I improved greatly each time we completed a topic. He explained very clearly and was willing to begin explaining at any level. Would recommend

    My son Jamie was in his final year of his GCSEs, his confidence was not great in maths or science hence i contacted 'first tutors'. We chose John for both maths & science, who was always on time and stayed back an extra 10 minutes each visit. If at times we couldn't fit John in he was very accommodating on rearranging another time. My sons confidence grew over the academic year, surely with the one to one from john and with his technique in teaching. My son passed his maths & science, no doubt with Johns help. I would surely recommend John to anybody who needs that extra assistance. Dean

    John was very helpful despite me seeking help near the end of my second year of A levels. He allowed me to choose the topics I wanted to study at the beginning of each session, helping me to advance in each of my weakest areas. John adapts to your best learning style and would spend time to ensure you have a deep knowledge of each topic before moving on, even if this meant spending an extra 10 minutes at the end of your session. I highly recommend his tutoring to anybody struggling with their Physics (or Maths) A level course!

    John has tutored my son for the last 12 months in both 1st year A level Maths and Physics. I am thrilled with my sons AS results. John is always on time and never let us down. He makes learning two very difficult subjects a pleasure and his tutoring makes a big difference to my sons advancement in these subjects. My son will continue with John through out his second year.

    John has tutored my daughter in her A level Physics the last 12 months. I found John to be reliable, trustworthy and very helpful to my daughter who was struggling with her Physics in Year 13. With John's tutoring our daughter was able to achieve her A level in Physics with a good grade. We are very pleased with John and would recommend him.
