Tutor in Bedminster, Bristol

I FUNDAMENTALLY BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE TOP GRADES IN SCHOOL, GIVEN THE RIGHT MENTORING, TUITION AND HARD WORK.
Hi, I’m Jonjo. I am currently on a gap year, and hold an offer for Natural Science (where I will be focusing on Chemistry, Biology and Maths) at UCL. I achieved A*A*A in my A levels, and 8A*2A in my GCSE.
I am very passionate about tutoring, and have been fitting it around my studies for the last 2 years; I gain great satisfaction in helping my students realize their academic potential and succeed in their goals.

My experience
As I said before, I have been tutoring since 2015, and my students have been very varied in age and ability. I believe you would benefit from my tuition if you, for example;
• Are missing classes due to other commitments
• Feel as if you have lost confidence in yourself (I believe having confidence in your ability is of the utmost importance!)
• Are feeling overwhelmed by the course or think your class is going too fast for you
• Are struggling to get your head around some difficult concepts or topics
• Are having trouble with exam technique (often a problem with A level students)
• Feel like your class is moving too slowly, and you would like to get ahead of your class.
• Believe you are not achieving your academic potential.

I have tutored students one-to-one and over Skype, and have achieved great success with both. I also have had experience helping teach science to year 5,6 and 7 classes at my previous school.

My approach

Whatever your age, ability or background, I will tailor my lessons to fit your individual needs. Before each lesson, I will let you know exactly what we will be covering, so if you have any thing you want to focus on, I can adjust my lessons accordingly. I will also provide you with all the necessary recourses required such as questions and worksheets.

A key issue my students have experienced, is that although they
understand the concepts, they struggle to apply them in the exams. To overcome this, I will set exams style questions each week to be done in your own time, at your own pace. Having very recently completed my exams, I know and understand what the examiners are looking for, so if you are having issues in this area, I can definitely help.

I operate an ‘open door’ policy, meaning that if you have any issues with the Homework set, or what we went over during tuition, just drop me a message, and I will take the time to go over it with you ASAP.


My achievements
• 8A* 2A’s in GCSE (A* in all 3 sciences and Maths)
• 4A’s in AS/internals (Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Economics
• A*A*A in A levels (Biology, Chemistry, Maths)
• Average of 93% in A level Maths (including 96% in C1, 100% in my C2, and 96% in C3)
• 100% in Paper 2 Chemistry A level (Organic and Physical Chemistry)
