About
I have taught for over 10 years in a number of top schools in England, most recently as Head of Biology at a leading boarding school in Cheltenham.
A-level Examiner for two exam boards (Edexcel and OCR).
My style: to build a positive relationship, to encourage and to tailor the approach to the particular student. To use my extensive experience as both a teacher and an examiner to help development the student as a biologist and an examination candidate. I tutor online.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Mr T.'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.

Karim
Jonathan is an outstanding tutor, to the point that our son was actually looking forward to his mocks! He has brought real clarity to topics and invaluable guidance on the approach to take to the exams. It has given our son confidence. He now sees the exam as an opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge rather than a test to fear.
Mr T. replied
Wonderful! Thanks Karim, glad to support your son in the build up to his Edexcel GCSE mock.

Jonathan has been an excellent tutor, offering support to my daughter with A level biology. He is well organised, and arranges the sessions with great care, bringing helpful material to each session. Each session is carefully tailored to her needs, and he provides feedback and notes on the session. He has been very kind and considerate and improved my daughter’s knowledge and confidence in class. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Jonathon is an excellent tutor who is significantly helping my son tackle his problem areas in biology. From the first session, my son liked his approach and he looks forward to his sessions. Jonathon is professional and organised and provides session notes. Additionally, he is one of the few tutors who knows the EdExcel B board. I highly recommend him.
Mr T. replied
Many thanks, Melissa, that's great to hear.

He appears to possess admirable teaching qualities - excellent knowledge, patience and understanding. I highly recommend him as tutor. Thank you Jonathan for all your support.

Jonathan is an absolutely excellent tutor. He tutored my son for his Biology GCSE, helping him move up 3 grades between his mock and his exam. He is now working with my daughter who, after only about 10 lessons, has received a glowing report from school on the huge improvement she has made in knowledge and understanding. Both of my (very different) children really like Jonathan and thoroughly enjoy his lessons. They say he is an excellent teacher who is able to explain complex topics in a very clear and easy to understand way. His lessons are always well planned, and each lesson is followed up with feedback and the session notes which are very useful for future revision. As a parent, he is an absolute pleasure to deal with and is always responsive and helpful. He is flexible in his approach, sometimes working on requested topics, at others working through the exam syllabus. He takes the time to understand which exam board and exam spec your child is working on so that he can be sure to cover the syllabus in exactly the right way. I have no doubt that he was a huge factor in my son's success, and can already see he is proving to be the same for my daughter. I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough.
Mr T. replied
Thank you Helen, that's wonderful to see and it has been a pleasure to support them both.
