Jonathan

Accepting bookings for 2026-27. Limited spaces available.

I am friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated tutor and primary school teacher with a passion for helping all children to achieve their best and succeed with their academic goals. Whether they need additional support with subjects they currently have difficulties with or have ambitions to challenge their learning for entrance exams, I enjoy working with children from all educational backgrounds to make their learning fun, relevant and unique to them.

I have tutored numerous students through the 11+ exams and consider this to be a tutoring specialism. If you and your child are about to begin your 11+ journey and you have numerous questions buzzing around, I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have about these free of charge through this website.

I offer maths tuition from KS1 up to and including GCSE. Maths has always been a passion of mine and I believe that any child has the ability to succeed in maths! I lead the maths curriculum for my school and am confident of delivering maths through a mastery approach.

I am extremely flexible with times and arrangements, so if you needed to make a last minute change, cancellation, or wanted an extra session, I will work with you to enable this.

Available to tutor for primary school ages for all purposes, working with parents/carers to decide on targets and aims of the tutoring. These can be taken from current school targets or assessed on an individual basis during sessions. Regular feedback and discussions with parents about your child`s progress as part of the fee.

Additional homework set if required.

Session resources included as part of my fee.

DBS available if required.

I look forward to hearing from you and being a part of your child`s learning journey!

(Please note - £50/ child hourly rate for week days only. £60/child hourly rate for weekends)

Finally, a few emails, texts and feedback from parents which always inspire me to continue my tutoring journey:

"Hi Jonathan, I have some amazing news! It was the year 6 leavers assembly and L**** got most academically improved award! His SATS results was amazing as well, 104 for reading, 101 for maths and 100 for English spag! I thought you would want to hear that all your hard effort over the years has really paid off."

Feedback from another website: “Completely on my son`s level. Makes the learning fun and energetic. Even though we`ve only had one session it was enough to tell how much effort and thought goes into making each session work. My son J**** is so happy with Jonathan and we are grateful to have found him!”

A text from a parent on 11+ results day this year. “Morning Jonathan. Just wanted to let you know that J****** got 3** on her exam!!!!!!! So very pleased, thank you so much 😊;;;;;;;;;;; Thank you. We are very pleased. Without you we wouldn’t be in this position! Happy Tuesday 😊;;;;;;;;;;”

Feedback from another website: “Jonathan is the epitome of a tutor. He is well presented and has a very calm manner. Most importantly, he is on my son’s level and has the knack of explaining things in a way that enables children to grasp things quickly. My son clicked with Jonathan from the very first session and we haven’t looked back. Highly recommended.”
