Jonathan's Feedback

Jon is worth every penny ! My son has just received the results of his GCSE resit for English Language and not only gone up a grade (just short of two, in fact) but achieved exactly what he needed to progress to university with ambitions to study engineering. My son genuinely enjoyed the classes with Jon from the outset, in a subject he finds really challenging, and began to gain confidence after a few weeks. We had approx. 8 weeks of tutoring, two lessons a week (at the same time as a busy schedule of A levels maths and sciences) and my son felt calm, ready, and able to sit the exam. Afterwards, he was sure he'd made it, and he did. Phew !! Thank you so much Jon !!

Great tutor, obviously experienced in teaching remo**Contact Detail Removed**arners. Very helpful.

Jonathan was the perfect tutor for my son at GCSE level. He was encouraging & flexible in his approach & as things progressed has instilled confidence coming up to & during the exam period in both language & literature. Thank you.

I cannot thank Jonathan enough for all support and excellent tutoring he provided for my daughter. Jon provided A level English tutoring and I highly recommend his services. My daughter commented on Jon’s confident and supportive approach. Studying was made fun and inspiring, thank you for everything you do Jon.

Jon is great, my daughter has really enjoyed her tuition with him and he has made
the sessions fun.

She is with Jon for GCSE Maths and English and her confidence has grown in both subjects, she also feels better prepared for the exams.

I would not hesitate recommending Jon as a tutor.

We have cleared the first hurdle after only a few weeks! My daughter’s confidence has has returned as has her passion for English! My daughter looks forward to her sessions with Jon and I can already see her applying what she has learnt to her revision. My daughter describes him as calm, patience, helpful, and encouraging and that from a teenager speaks volumes. Thank you Jon.

I can't recommend Jon enough! Following my son's mock exams it was evident that he needed some extra support to pass his English GSCE.
We therefore sat down together to talk about what we could do and agreed that we should try a tutor.
After the first lesson with Jon we knew it was the right decision, as my son came bounding out of the room and advised that he had learned more in that 1 lesson compared to the last 5 at school!
The final proof was when he opened his GCSE envelope to see a pass in both English Language and Literature. He was so pleased with himself as he had achieved the grades he needed to attend 6th Form and start his A-Levels.
Jon has been amazing and was one of the best decisions we ever made!
A huge thank you for Owen and Beki

Jonathan helped me achieve an 8 in English IGCSE. He is an excellent tutor and I enjoyed our sessions.

Jon is an absolutely professional tutor. From the first moment my daughter enjoyed all his lessons. No matter what the problem was, Jon helped my daughter to solve it. Due to a very poor teaching in her Sixth Form in English Language, her A level course was given back and had to restart just 5 weeks before the deadline and with Jon's help and support not only academically,but mentally,giving her confidence and beliefs in herself she managed to gain an A result. I would definitely highly recommend him!!

Jon is an excellent tutor he quickly assessed where my daughters leaning gaps and needs were and has helped her so much. He is helpful and gifted at tutoring kids so they understand exactly what they need to change or improve on. We will be using Jon for all of our children.

Jonathan is an excellent tutor. We engaged him to help with my son's prep for A Level exams in 2020. I wish we had found him earlier!
We highly recommend him!

Very friendly and encouraging Tutor, my son is far more enthusiastic about the coming year now that he has Jon helping him

Jon is 1 off the best tutors Leah has got he’s also very good at teaching my daughter seems to be listening to what he’s saying whilst teaching her. Leah seems to be engaging with him and absorbing everything in highly recommend him to your children/ child

Jonathan stepped in quite late on but has definitely had a positive affect on my son, who very much appreciated the session prior to his GCSE Assessmnets.

My daughter has only recently started having tuition with Jonathon but from the very first session he has made her feel relaxed and more confident in her approach to maths

Made my son feel at ease on our first session. He is now eager to go and learn. Thank you.

Have only had two visits to Jon but he has made my son feel comfortable and is building his confidence already
Hoping to build on this during future sessions

Jon provided tutoring/support for my daughters A level English. By helping her with the general understanding of the subject and helping to boost her confidence she was able to achieve a higher grade then was originally predicted. I would highly recommend Jon's services.

My son had English tutoring from Jon leading up to his GCSEs. After just a few weeks I could see his confidence increase and he really enjoyed the sessions. Jon was great with him and prepared him excellently for his exams. He went from a predicted a 4/5 to an 8 !!! We were extremely pleased and put this down to Jons ability to adapt his writing techniques to achieve maximum results. Would definitely recommend !

Excellent support for my daughter's A Level History ; given her massive confidence boost.

Please arrange an appropriate initial interview date with Mr Jonathan as soon as possible. Ready to start anytime as per Jonathan ‘s convenience. Thanks for the ramainder we went to India and only came back yesterday for an emergency. Kindly contact me. Kind regards Sheeja

Jon has a unique ability to get students onboard in a short amount of time. He is quick to establish a rapport, building on trust and confidence which makes an ideal platform for focussed learning. He is heavily in demand which speaks volumes in terms of his reputation and is super knowledgable and prepared for all elements of the syllabus. It's a very welcomed approach and one which should be more evident in main stream schooling! He comes highly recommended.

My initial review about Jon is nothing but positive- he’s been great with communication and did what he could to schedule a day to tutor my daughter when it was convenient for both of us
Def recommend

My son exceeded his Maths and English target grades (Levels 8 & 6) following 12 months worth of lessons with Jonathan. He thoroughly enjoyed his lessons and clearly benefitted from them. Jonathan was very reliable, approachable, and knowledgeable. George always looked forward to his lessons! Would strongly recommend.

Jonathan is calm, experienced and efficient. His encouraging manner with my 12 year old son is wonderful and he is already feeling better about the whole subject of maths after just one session. He came away on a high and was motivated to do all his questions the very next day. Thank you Jonathan.

Jonathan seems a very professionl young man and im please he has taken on my grandson

Never passed an English test before in my whole life then came to Jonathan with very little time for my first GCSE exam and managed to get an A for English literature and a B for creative writing. 10/10.

English wasn't my son's favourite subject and for his GCSE exams he needed every mark possible, at least a 6 in English so he can secure a place in an outstanding sixth. Form. Though we are in Bartley Green, I am so glad I found Jon through this site. My son's writing and understanding of English language have improved massively. It was truely worth the travel for a two-hour lesson each Sunday with another student. It was also a good idea to attend with another student as it gave a bit of competition and took the attention off my shy son. Jon was friendly , flexible and professional with great understanding of the exam, marking scheme and how the whole process works. We feel lucky to book a place with him early on as he seemed to be full booked before December. We r very grateful for all his efforts he's made with my son and look forward for the exam and results day.

Very good, very helpful. Really well structured explanations are very easy to understand, definitely recommend Jon for tuition!

Friendly. Extremely knowledgeable and a great help to Oliver in the run up to his exams.

flexible and friendly .Very good teacher and highly recommend him.

We are very pleased with Jonathon, he's identified the areas of her Maths that need attention and has a relaxed, planned approach that we like.

Jon is a great tutor. My son commented that Jon is very chilled which made him feel comfortable. I found him very polite and helpful (flexible with sessions and timings). I would definitely recommend him to any parent looking for a tutor.

Myself and Harry were very impressed and look forward to further sessions

I am so pleased we have found Jon. Jon has been so welcoming and he was very quick to put my son at ease. My son enjoys the lessons and, although it has only been 4/5 weeks, I can already see an improvement in my son's confidence. I am certain that we have chose the right Tutor.

I have waited until today to give my feed back, today is GCSE result day, my daughter was hitting 'F's' in her English and was going into free fall. All other subjects she was flying high, but In English, she hit a brick wall.

I read Jon's reviews and although he lived a good 20 miles away from us, his reviews were about 'breaking down barriers to learning!'

Today I can tell you he was worth every penny, every early get up on a Saturday and every mile up the M5.

Thanks soooo much Jon, Ashleigh passed, she won't be doing retakes and is feeling incredibly relieved.

Very positive feedback from my daughter which is which is a very good start and I'm happy with that. So far so good

Jon was very fast at replying to me and organising time/dates. He also done a great job guiding me with my history coursework and on how to gain those extra marks :)

Yes we have made contact thank you, and we will be arranging a time and date very soon.
Kind regards
Marion

only been a few times so far so good my son is enjoying his lessons and gaining confidence with them Jonathan is helping him with his gcse and i hope he will help improve his grades

Jonathan has a unique way of teaching and offers very personalised learning, listening intently to parents concernswhilst finding a way through to the student. Our daughter is starting to build greater confidence in her ability to self learn and improve her comprehension skills, all down to the perseverance of jons continuous support.

Jonathan is very helpful and very quick with responses. Absolute pleasure working with him!

The session's have been a great help, Harry has enjoyed going, they have been relaxed and very useful in helping him prepare for the exam.

I needed help with my IGCSE coursework.Jon was AMAZINGLY helpful,nice and very cooperative.I had ridiculous time limitations,however,he managed to help me very quickly,which did not jeopardise the quality of his work.
I recommended him to 3 of my friends and all of them were more than happy.
the best tutor i have come across so far :)

Jon is a fantastic teacher best tutor I have ever had. He is very helpful and helps me with my assignments. I always feel like I learn a lot when he teaches me because he always explains everything to me. Very approachable and really kind hearted. I personally would recommend him to all my friends and family if they required tuition.

Jonathan is an excellent Tutor. He is always willing to go above and beyond what is necessary to help with any problems and provides excellent support and learning techniques. Friendly and easy to work with, I have no hesitation in recommending him as a great Tutor.

My son had a few lessons with Jon. He has been helpful. He increased my son confidence in the subject. Although we live far away from Jon's house about 40 minutes by driving, my son insisted to continue the lessons with him. He responds fast to our request. Thanks.

All going great with Jon, George is totally happy to see him which is a miracle at 3pm on a Saturday. So far so good after 3 sessions - George appears to be making progress and is engaged with the work that is being done. The subject matter is right up his street!! (linked to computer games).

Excellent tutor! Since Jon has tutored my 18year old son his English grades have dramatically improved. My son actually enjoys his lessons - very much a first for English! Jon is also very accommodating should we need to rearrange. 10 out of 10.

Jonathon has been very helpful especially when trying to accommodate my son in his busy schedule. Would highly recommend to anyone

My son has been having extra support from Jonathan now for three weeks. Already his confidence in the subject has grown and he comes back from the sessions saying he has learnt a lot and seems more than happy to attend the session which is a total change for my son.

He is spending time at home following up on the work he has completed with Jonathan. I find that Jonathan relates well to my son and has already develop a rapport. I have nothing but praise for Jonathan.

Very Good! Have never been really able to motivate my son to be interested about English:Jonathan has achieved the impossible!Would definitely recommend!

Very helpful, great communication. Booked for 10 lessons

I took Jonathan's details as my daughter needed help with essay writing for her A2 history exam on Angevin Kings. As it turned out she managed to get that help from her school teachers so she did not actually get any tutoring from Jon. However, I can report that in our email communication he was very polite and helpful and even though he hadn't done the syllabus he was prepared to quickly review it in his own time so that he would be able to help my daughter. On this basis I would recommend him thoroughly. Although he lives outside Bham he did offer on-line tutorials and online marking of practice essays- but my daughter didn't have enough time to get round to this!

Within a short space of time, my daughter has significantly improved her essay writing ability and has gained confidence in herself. Thank you very much Jon!

My Son is being tutored by Jon in both English and History. Jon has been patient in accommodating tutoring times and more importantly getting to know my son. Jon is a natural and enthusiastic teacher and this clearly transfers into motivating his pupils! The biggest testimonial comes from my son, who now looks forward to and enjoys his weekly visit! praise indeed from a teenager!

I could not have wished for a better tutor for my son! I cannot praise Jon's enthusiasm for his subject, motivational skills and professionalism enough. He immediately identified some important learning difficulties that had not been picked up by any of my son's school teachers in all they years they've known him. We have now been able to work on these, and his confidence has grown considerably. My son has at last found someone with whom he can work hard, yet talk to as a friend and still know that he is learning so much from every tutorial.

Jonathan is fantastic and my 15 years old have a big turn round about his view of education. Now he can't wait for his lesson!

Ben has had three lessons so far and I have seen a marked improvement, Jon has listened to Bens needs and has developed a study plan in order for Ben to acheive his goal.The one to one tuition is advantageous in so many different ways any specific issues Ben has Jon irons them out straight way! So far so good.

Jon was very helpful and adaptable but unfortunately I had to cancel so I cannot comment on his teaching ability.
