About Joe
I am a highly experienced tutor, with over a thousand hours of one-on-one tuition under my belt across a range of subjects, ages and abilities. I’ve supported students with English at both GCSE and A-Level, as well as helping students from ages 8-14 in a range of subjects specialising in English and Maths.
Since 2016 I have built up a huge amount of experience tutoring a range of ages and subjects. I have supported a number of young students with English and Maths in preparation for 11+, 12+ and 13+ exams, and several of my students have gained entry to top schools including Dulwich, Highgate, Sevenoaks School and Forest. This experience has ranged from tutoring a student for over a year to an intensive course of top-up sessions a few weeks prior to the exam.
I have worked with a number of older students on English at GCSE and A-Level. From 2018-2019 I supported a student who was really struggling at school, and who I was delighted to see achieving a B grade in her English A-Level after our lessons: a fantastic result for her. I am currently working with another student who I have been supporting for over a year, as his A-Level exams get closer in Summer 2020.
I also have experience of home-schooling students, the youngest starting at age 8, and supporting students in Years 8, 9 and 10 with English. I’ve had nothing but fantastic feedback from my students and their parents, many of whom have said how much they look forward to our lessons. It has given me enormous pleasure to work with each of my students, and to see them achieve the very best results.

I firmly believe that any student can do well, and that tutoring is a wonderful opportunity. At the heart of my approach is my belief that every student is different, and I always tailor the content of my lessons to suit their individual needs. I’m sensitive and kind to my students, but I also challenge them and provide regular and specific feedback. I pride myself on working empathetically and creatively with my students, trying to make the lessons fun and engaging, while ensuring we take as much time as we need to target the areas the student is having trouble with.
Having had a tutor myself when I was struggling with Maths at school, I know the transformative impact one-on-one lessons can have. With time away from the pressures of the classroom, I make sure my students know that there are no stupid questions, and I love developing practical approaches that can help them – whether it is creating revision timetables with them, or setting research and preparation activities to build on their understanding. I know how to maximise a student’s confidence and understanding, whether it is a tricky topic in Maths or an essay they are struggling with for English.

Subject : English
Outcome : We plan to see Joe on a regular basis...Perfect! Highly recommended. Excellent tutor
Joe is a very inspiring, knowledgeable tutor, with a wonderful work ethic, enthusiastic, patient, caring and with a very thoughtful and individual approach to teaching. He has great flair not only for understanding his students’ learning needs and potential but also for knowing how to encourage them to see beyond their perceived limits. His lessons are effective, very engaging and fun and he has being really good with providing my 8 yo son with exciting work suitable for his advanced understanding and abilities level. My son thinks the world of Joe and he’s always looking forward to his next lesson with him. They have established a wonderful bond as well. Having a child who is homeschooled I’ve met quite a few lovely tutors but from what I’ve seen and known so far I can definitely state that Joe’s enthusiasm and love of teaching , his thoughtfulness and professional integrity really set him apart. We’re truly very happy to have found him.
Subject : English
Outcome : Great teacher, wonderful lessons.Perfect! Tailors approach to individual
Joe has been excellent with our son and I would thoroughly recommend him. Our son chose English as he couldn't think of anything else and thought it would be relatively easy having done well at GCSE level. I was concerned about how a tutor would feel working with someone who isn't very motivated but Joe managed to re-engage him by encouraging and tapping into the bits our son is good at and working with him on the trickier aspects. His confidence has grown and he's spending more time on his work - with higher quality work and higher grades as a result.
Joe has been patient and persevering! He's spent time preparing specific notes to help on certain topics aligned to what the school has been doing. What has particularly impressed me is that he has clearly taken time to adapt his approach to our son's specific character and learning style. In his recent mock exams, he said that everything he wrote was "thanks to Joe" so thank you Joe!

Joe is a wonderful tutor and I highly recommend him. He is patient and encouraging and really helped to boost my son’s confidence. He explains things clearly and always goes the extra mile. He is also fun and friendly which helps to put a child at ease.
Joe has been teaching my daughter Drama. Lately as my daughter struggles with poetry, we asked Joe to give her poetry lessons. In both subjects, Joe keeps delivering fantastic lessons that my daughter enjoys and learns a lot. Joe is always well prepared, sending materials and instructions in advance; he also always follows up with feedback. I'm truly impressed by and grateful to his professional and passionate work.
Joe has been with us as firstly a tutor to our boy (13) and now girl (10) for 3 years. Joe has a very natural and patient style with our children, and we are particularly impressed how he has dealt with their very different personalities in a way that lets them practice and feel confident in their own ability. We hired Joe to help them through 11+ and 13+ exams, and he has made a notable difference in getting our son through that period, but he offers so much more than exam tuition. He manages to find things that will inspire and interest both my children and, unlike school homework, they are actually happy to do the small tasks he sets. Joe’s online tuition has been just as effective as his in-person sessions which is impressive. Joe is the type of teacher I wish my children had access to in all their school subjects.
Joe has been helping my son with A level drama since the start of the March lockdown. My son says he has learned more from these lessons than an entire year at school and is always enthused and purposeful at the end of each tutorial. Joe sets homework, offers constructive criticism, invites debate, and has also helped prepare him for a UCAS drama audition. I receive detailed summaries of all lessons. My son has just walked into the room and when he heard what I was doing said: ‘just tell them he is SUCH a good teacher’
Joe worked with my son in preparation for the 11+ Common Entrance exams focusing primarily on Maths but also some English aspects during the period Feb 2019 – January 2020. Joe was able to establish a great rapport quickly and my son very much looked forward to his tutor sessions with Joe each week.
Joe was able to identify any gaps in learning that needed immediate focus and had a good grasp on all the areas covered in the Common Entrance exams. Joe was also very helpful with interview techniques and preparation. What Joe did brilliantly was to build my son’s confidence in a very natural and organic way. I have no doubt that the work Joe did helped to ensure that my son had a very successful experience.View more recommendations
