Personal Description:
I am a Civil Engineer with over 20 years professional experience and have been involved in tutoring and mentoring for over 20 years. I am especially able to pay individual attention to each student and will only work on a one to one basis, understanding the student's weaknesses and coming up with an action plan to quickly improve the student's grades. My home is quite conducive to learning and timing can be very flexible especially during school holidays and at half term.
Tutoring Experience:
Teaching Science and maths in local schools in Luton, Hatfield and London
Having taught and mentored others informally for the past twenty years I have enough experience of the school curriculum on the subjects offered and I am quite experienced in the various examination requirements including the working of past questions and studying past examiners reviews on.student performances at the various examination levels
Tutoring Approach:
One to one customised approach as each individual learning style is different. Understanding the student's needs are a fundamental necessity to designing individual solutions which will definitely lead to candidates' improved academic performance.
I have just started a new Tutorial company called Tutorial Solutions to help all those who are sitting GCSE, AS, A2 exams.

From Daniel (/5): (University Maths) Great tutor, took his time help you to understand what needs to be done
From Mehmet (/5): (GCSE Combined Science) My daughter likes the way he teaches, and he's been very helpful in helping her progress.
From Martha (/5): (GCSE Chemistry) Josh did tutor my Niece for 8 hours, but unfortunately had to discontinue with tutoring due to inconsistencies. We wish Josh all the best.

Reply from Josh: This student was quite late in terms of meeting her school assignment committments. The amount of work that needed to be done far exceeded the time availble to do it. We were unable to help her as we prefer to provide a quality service rather than a rushed job.
At the point in time we were tied up doing quality work for our numerous satisfied customers and were unable to fit this candidate into our schedule.

From Cindy (/5): (GCSE English) Josh has been teaching my 14year old son for the past 4 months and we are already seeing an improvement in attitude towards his school work and grades. Even the school have noticed the difference!! Josh is always willing to give an extra bit of his time and is very flexible and committed. I would recommend Josh to anyone with a child who is lacking motivation and requires help with their studies.
thank you Josh!
thank you Josh!
From Daniel (/5): (A-Level Maths) Process of contacting tutor was very easy and lessons commenced immediately. Payment plan very clear and son seems to be getting lots from the start.
From Pauline (/5): (GCSE Maths) We will be meeting Josh on 21st October for a short consultation to discuss Jade's needs. So i will let you have feed back once we commence lesson (probably next week)
From Rhona (/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Josh is obviously a conscientious and committed tutor and we were impressed with his desire to help Emily. She liked him very much and enjoyed her lesson with him, finding the revision helpful. However, she felt that his approach of concentrating on the content of the textbook was something she could do herself, with the help of her teachers if necessary, without incurring the expense of a tutor. She is always keen to save the family money and we decided to respect her decision that she would not receive enough added benefit for the expenditure incurred. We are grateful to Josh for coming and wish him every success in his tutoring.
From Stephanie (/5): (A-Level Chemistry) although we have only had 2 lessons so far, we have been impressed with josh's reliability and teaching towards our son, in physics and chemistry.
From Amanda (/5): (A-Level Physics) Josh came to our house as a trial run for my son and although he seemed very patient and approachable we were unable to use him because my son had other commitments. Therefore I have given Josh a 4. I am sure that if we had continued with him it would have been a 5. The big plus point was that he travels to you saving you lots of valuable time :)
From Paige (/5): (A-Level Maths) Josh was vey helpful, though i was not ready for tuition.
Thank you, Paige
Thank you, Paige
From Nicola (/5): (GCSE Maths) Although it's still early days my son is responding well to Josh's tutoring. He enjoys the lessons and is progressing well. Josh makes the lessons interesting and works at a fast pace to keep my son's attention.
From Christine (/5): (GCSE Maths) Although it is early days, Rebecca is feeling more confident in maths already, this is almost certainly due to Joshs' teaching style.
From Fiona (/5): (A-Level Physics) My son is in year 12 and is making excellent progress with Josh , His support has enabled him to have a clearer understanding of Physics AS and all that is required to hopefully gain a good grade in the coming examinations. Josh is extremely dedicated to his students, and we feel fortunate to have him as a science tutor. We would recommend him.
From Angela (/5): (Secondary English) Josh is an excellent tutor who is very engaged in recognising both the potential and weaknesses of my child.
My son who is currently a year 9 student working at key stage 3, feels very comfortable being tutored by Josh and clearly benefits from each session. Josh also takes the time after each session to update me on the areas of study they have covered in each session and discusses the ongoing plans for subsequent sessions, as well as answering any queries I may have in regards to my sons progress or the national curriculum of which he is very familiar.
Josh uses a variety of techniques in his teaching and tailors them to my childs needs, he also has a variety of examination papers analogous to those used at the corresponding curriculum level which can be used to give an approximate attainment level.
My son is receiving both English and Maths tuition and attained 97% and a level 7 at KS3 in a recent Maths test, this is a great improvement on his previous test result and the success is credited to the dedication and excellence of Josh's tutoring skills.

From Lee (/5): (A-Level Maths) MY SON IS VERY PLEASED WITH JOSH .JOSH KNOWS HIS SUBJECTS AND MAKES SURE THAT HIS STUDENTS DO AS WELL.
From Khilna (/5): (A-Level Chemistry)
From Douglas (/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Josh is a very enthusiastic, energetic and enlightening tutor who I would recommend to any one looking at doing Chemistry AS level. He is clear and uses his whiteboard diagrams to very good effect! I don't know how well I did in my exams that he guided me through yet, but I hope to carry on with him if I decide do my A2 exams next year because he provided a very me a very useful grounding in the first set of papers.
From Lucy (/5): (A-Level Physics) I contacted you that my son needed help with his A/S Physics. After a meeting with Josh I felt he was ideally suitable to give private tuition to my son. His commitments and tutoring enhanced my son's knowledge and examination techniques not only in Physics but also Chemistry.I am pleased that he gained A grades at both these subjects in January 2010 exams. Josh is highly recommended as private tutor.
After 3 months with Josh my son is confident and on same level as his classroom and getting very good results from controlled assessments. I am very happy with my sons progress after being out off school over a year due to medical reasons.Thank you.
