English Tutor Cheshire - Knutsford

Robert D.

We are so very, very grateful to Jonathan for his first class tuition of our son.
From our first meeting, it was very clear that he would provide a bespoke service, directed towards moving towards an A* Grade at A-level English and providing the very best support for uni applications.
All the way through, Jonathan was able to move our son’s thinking about a variety of texts to a different, higher level, way beyond what his (highly regarded) sixth form tutors could provide. It’s what’s required for a top grade and Oxbridge applications, and we have nothing but praise for the very good value service we received.
The end result speaks for itself: With his A* grade in English, our son is on his way to a dual BA at the Ivy league’s Columbia NY and Trinity College, Dublin.
He absolutely could not have done it without Jonathan’s tuition. Highly, highly recommended.

Jonathan taught my daughter A level English Literature and A level English Language for two years. She achieved A and A* respectively. I recommend him for his excellent subject knowledge, super communication and organisational skills, but also for the way he was able to inspire my daughter to find out what she was capable of.

I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough for his tutoring of my son during his final year at primary school, ahead of senior school entrance exams, which he was ultimately successful at. Jonathan's calm and reassuring approach to developing my son's written English, reading comprehension and verbal reasoning skills gave him real confidence ahead of the exams. Jonathan strikes a wonderful balance between praise for producing good work and critique on areas for development. Furthermore, he was always keen to speak to me to keep me updated on progress to ensure that I could support my son between his lessons. Jonathan demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and ability to put students at ease. If you are looking for an English tutor for your child, then look no further!

I would highly recommend Jonathan as a GCSE English tutor, he has provided online tutor sessions for my daughter throughout her year 11. His lessons are well planned and engaging, he is knowledgeable of his subject and provides structured feedback to both the student and the parent.
He tailored his lessons to her learning ability and taught her exam techniques to enable her to plan and structure her answers in a concise way.
I found him to be extremely professional, his online lessons were delivered in a way that kept my daughter interested and motivated and as a result she has grown in confidence and shown an overall improvement in her performance.

I can highly recommend Jonathan as an English tutor. He is an extremely experienced and committed professional, whose extensive knowledge of the syllabus and enthusiastic, positive approach have had an immense impact on my son and his level of achievement in English. My son lacked confidence and self-esteem, in reading, writing and communicating effectively in English and other school subjects. Jonathan’s empathy and understanding have given him the self-belief and the skills to approach all of his GCSEs next year with much greater confidence and proficiency.

Jonathan has tutored both my sons, he really gets to know the individual needs of each student, providing both text and exercises to suit and prompt discussion. Both gained a huge amount of insight, confidence, and skill, which have been crucial with not just English but all subjects that require considered thought and response. My eldest got a grade 6 and my youngest is in Y8 and having online tutoring, which has been essential. Being able to sit in on a couple of sessions was especially useful and even if you have the most reluctant student, Jonathan’s will be able to help.

I can definitely recommend Jonathan as a highly professional English tutor. His knowledge of the syllabus and enthusiastic teaching skills are excellent. My son gained valuable experience and confidence during his lessons and his grades improved.

I engaged Jonathan to tutor my daughter for her English A Level.

Unfortunately the A Levels were cancelled due to Covid, but my daughter enjoyed the sessions immensely,, and learnt so much by way of content, structure and exam technique, that she was determined to continue. She is now preparing for the type of studying she’ll be doing at University.

Jonathan is extremely professional, amiable and has an enthusiasm for the subject which is a joy to watch. During the Covid lockdown, he has continued to tutor using a range of technologies.

I have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as a Tutor.
