About Jonathan
I graduated from the University of Birmingham in the summer of 2010 with a first-class degree in Mathematics with honours, having previously achieved grade A in Maths, Further Maths, and Physics A levels in 2007. I’ve been working as a full-time maths tutor ever since.
I’ve always enjoyed maths (even if I didn’t always want to admit it!), and I’ve long felt that I possess the key traits that make for a great teacher: patience, affability, enthusiasm, and an ability to explain things clearly. The feedback I’ve received from students and parents over the past fifteen years has reinforced this belief — though I’m aware there’s always more to learn and always room to improve.
Since leaving university, I’ve been fortunate to have worked with hundreds of students of all age ranges and ability levels - from primary school students, to GCSE and A level students, all the way to mature students who are either looking to brush up on their maths for fun or who need help with a qualification they’re working through as part of their career path - all of whom had a wide range of targets and expectations for what they wanted to achieve.

My approach to teaching has always centred around patience and clarity, along with creating an atmosphere in which whoever I’m working with feels comfortable enough to stop and ask a question when they don’t understand something - and to not be afraid to tell me when what I’m saying makes no sense whatsoever! (Which fortunately only happens occasionally!)
A common concern I hear from students is that their school teachers move through the material too quickly, making it difficult to catch up once they fall behind — especially in a subject like maths. I fully understand the challenges of teaching groups, having done so myself on occasion. But the key advantage of one-to-one tuition is that the work can be tailored specifically to the individual. Topics that might generally be considered difficult can be covered quickly (as long as they’re fully understood), while areas that teachers usually rush through can be explored more thoroughly if the student needs it.
Topics are worked through from start to finish (except perhaps for when they are simply being revised) with staggered examples and questions so that the progression from the fundamentals through to the most difficult aspects seems as fluid and natural as possible. When the time is right, I’m more than happy to challenge the student a little in an attempt to progress them more rapidly, but I’m equally happy to revisit a topic as many times as is requested and necessary in order for it to be fully understood.
If you’re considering one-to-one tuition — whether for yourself, a family member, or a friend — it’s important to remember that the effort you put in directly affects the results you get. One or two hours a week can lead to some improvement, but combining lessons with consistent independent work before and after sessions can unlock tremendous benefits. (And on that note, I’m happy to provide homework questions for practice between lessons.)

Jonathan is an excellent maths tutor who has a great understanding of mathematics. He breaks down challenging topics into a very clear and comprehensible way. Jonathan is very friendly and I found his tuition really helpful in improving my ability to tackle difficult concepts and exam questions. I would really recommend Jonathan, his support made a big difference in my understanding of maths and helped me achieve an A at A-level.
Jonathan was always very easy going and professional. His subject knowledge is amazing and he is always happy to share his knowledge- he is even able to make up his own A Maths questions on the spot. Amazing! He prepared lessons based on my needs and always listened to me. He helped my knowledge and confidence grow by being calm and patient. Can’t recommend him enough. Thank you!
Jon has worked with both my teenage children age 16 and 13, on GCSE level maths.
Jon motivates and explains maths in such a way that a child with dyslexia who lacks confidence can effectively learn and thrive and enjoy maths. My son even wanted to do maths in his own time during the weekend to embed his new found skills in readiness for his exams.
My son said he learned more from Jon than he did at school.
I found Jon to be very reasonable and offered some good deals depending on time slots.
At the end of the day my child enjoyed working with Jon who made the subject more accessible and enjoyable, which is exactly what I wanted.
I definitely intended to employ Jon again for my younger child.Jon tutored our son to a successful conclusion in his A level maths exams this year. In all his dealings with him, he was unfailingly patient, supportive, skilled, professional and kind, explaining concepts with ease and shedding light on aspects of the curriculum with which our son had struggled at college. He was especially helpful in the period prior to and during the exams, demonstrating a flexible approach and boosting confidence when it was most needed. Jon's subject knowledge is outstanding and he has the gift of making complex topics accessible for learners. He pitches his explanations at exactly the right level, differentiating learner needs and adapting his approach to suit their learning style. As a lecturer myself, I would not hesitate to recommend Jon to anyone who might benefit from a one to one approach to maths, a subject with which many struggle. My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of him & found him trustworthy and competent throughout the time he visited our home. Our son is now at university and Jon was part of that journey, for which we shall always be grateful.
