About
10 years of face to face and online tuition at GCSE and A-level-all boards.
Studied Physics with Astrophysics at Royal Holloway College(part of London University).
My approach is to teach my students how to teach themselves. Show them ways to approach problems which will help them to successfully solve further problems. Also to give them the intellectual study tools so they can find the information and skills they need to teach themselves without relying on AI. Thus, hopefully no longer needing extra tuition because their self confidence and innate ability has been revealed. Then the wonders of the World await along many more possible future paths.
My work history is different to most tutors, but it does show these young people how much fun and control of your life you can have if you study hard when it counts. They don't know this yet, it's an important lesson for them to learn.
I set up my first business whilst at university and never looked back.
After selling my business it was suggested that I should not waste my knowledge and experience and might find it intellectually rewarding to tutor the next generation.
I am so glad I did. As an astrophysicist I used maths to a greater complexity than is used virtually anywhere else. As the owner of a manufacturing business I implemented practical skills, innovated and taught others how to get the best from their skills.
Turning this experience to science and maths teaching gives me a deep insight and ability to simplify complicated topics and maybe show how amazing these subjects are and hopefully inspire as we go along.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from John P.'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.

After only one lesson my son ( aged 12) feels more confident with maths . John was patient and gave praise , which I feel works best for my son. Encouraging him to enjoy maths and bring out the best in him has made him look forward to his next lesson with John . I highly recommend this tutor even after only one lesson.

My daughter has already improved with only 2 maths sessions with John. Her confidence has grown too, I am very pleased with this.

My daughter finds John friendly, easy to talk to and easy to understand. He has so far greatly improved my daughters grade and also her confidence. She is far more eager to attempt questions and is finding the exams less stressful. Children can often be put off a subject that they love because the have been made to feel inadequate, personal coaching can go along way to bringing back the enjoyment. We have John to thank for that and would thoroughly recommend him.

John has been a life saver - and if my son passes his science and maths GCSEs, it will be thanks to him. I appreciate that John is flexible about the length of sessions and that he turns up full of enthusiasm and energy. Highly recommended.
