A Level Maths Tutor | John Armstrong Reviews

My daughter took on Further Maths a bit later at the start of her first year in college as she swapped out another subject for it. As a result she really struggled initially but after just a few months of weekly sessions she gained an A at AS level. She, and we, were absolutely delighted and the improvement in her understanding and confidence was evident after just the first one or two sessions with John. Would highly recommend, thank you so much! Julie & Niamh Anderson 😊

John has been an incredible tutor and mentor for my son, sitting both ‘Maths and Further Maths’ A levels. John was able to very quickly identify areas that needed more work, whilst also guiding my son to become independent in his own problem solving with tougher areas of the curriculum. John’s communication is excellent; both reassuring and inspiring. My son’s confidence has soared and he’s gone on to get excellent results. We couldn’t have been happier and we wholly recommend John.

John has been absolutely and consistently supportive in prepping my year 13 son to university level. He has been accepted to read Mathematics with Finance and Economics at his first-choice university, City, university of London. Not only did John explain complex mathematics in a simplistic way he was also extremely patient, understanding (especially with boys) and most importantly regularly communicated to me my son’s progress so I was not left in the dark. First class - fantastic commitment and sincere dedication, John performed not just a job - Unlike previous tutors, John set weekly homework tasks; made sure it was completed on time and provided regular feedback to my son outside of the tuition period! John also coached my son to become more disciplined in his learning. Examples, effective self-study/ independent learning, writing out each step in his answers and not leaving the completion of tasks/revision to the last minute!!! When my son started A’level Further Maths tuition with John in November 2022 his predicted university grades in Further Maths and Maths were E & D respectively. By Spring 2023 end of term his predicted university grades jumped to B in Further Maths and A in Maths which gave him access to a wider range of good quality Universities to apply to read Maths. John’s support didn’t just stop at the start of the A’level exams he continued supporting us (yes me as well) until the end of the exams and supplied my son with Economics and Maths prepping resources for his University journey. With no hesitation, I highly recommend John, he is worth every penny spent and much, much more. All the best John in the future it has been a pleasure knowing you and once again thank you for all your wise words and parent support. P.S. If you plan to provide university level math’s tuition please give me a shout.

John has endlessly supported me with my maths studies throughout Year 13. He has especially helped me a lot with MAT practice and taught me how manage my time efficiently in order to answer as many questions as possible during the exam. He also revised my personal statement and prepared me well for my university studies. It is only because of John that I was able to achieve A*s in both Further Maths and Maths for my A-Levels, allowing me to read Maths and Statistics at KCL. I will always be indebted to him for all his support and would reccomend him to anyone looking for a Maths Tutor!

Tutored me in AQA F-Maths, was an excellent teacher and a pleasure to work with

I initially started sixth form getting B’s and C’s in Maths, until I started my lessons with John, and he helped me to see Maths in a different point of view, and helped me practice Maths in a way that I found it much more enjoyable. He really understands each students’ needs and I found that any gaps in my knowledge were quickly tackled and my confidence in Maths greatly increased. He explains it in a way that is easy to understand and accessible for any student, and with the use of the Miro board is able to easily see how better I could approach any question. With his help, I was able to achieve an A* in Maths, and was able to secure a place at medical school.

John is an absolutely fantastic tutor. In the space of around 9 months John took me from a grade D in 2022 to an A in 2023. Always punctual and aware of timings, and happy to answer any questions at anytime of day. My lessons were always enjoyable and John was always pleasant whilst pushing me to work things out on my own instead of simply showing me the answer. All in all, I enjoyed John’s Tutoring very much and would certainly recommend him to other students looking to improve in their maths.

There’s not enough stars to rate John!! When I contacted John, my daughter was nearing the end of her first year of A levels. She was failing Maths and was completely and utterly lost at school. And all we wanted was for her to pass! The results were declared a couple of days ago- she got an A !! John is an excellent tutor all round and I cannot recommend him enough. From explaining concepts to giving her shortcuts to save time to the resources he provides on his website, my daughter’s confidence just grew and grew. It was an amazing transformation to witness! John is an extremely dedicated tutor who cares about his students and helps them to achieve their goal. He understands his students, is quick to spot what they need help with ( including if thats exam nerves ) and he was always available to clear up her doubts. John is worth every penny we spent and more. Ive had other tutors that I have paid more for but got a lot less in return. Thank you John! We were so lucky to have found you!

John is fantastic. He has tutored my son through a resit year and the improvement has been incredible both in his mathematic ability and his confidence. John is very calm, understanding and his lessons are well structured and organized with clear work set in between. John’s online resources are really comprehensive and my son attended the Easter residential revision course which was a valuable opportunity to consolidate his knowledge prior to the exams. I would not hesitate to recommend John as a tutor.

I have nothing but good things to say about John and his teaching. Without him I would have probably failed Maths and Physics but ended up with A's. He is not just a knowledgeable teacher he can adapt his style to anyone and get them motivated when nobody else can.

John helped me massively through my A-Levels and provided invaluable support both as a tutor and mentor. The sessions were relaxed but always very productive. I’d strongly recommend John to anyone who wants to take their understanding further than their curriculum.

John was a fantastic maths tutor whilst I was doing my A-levels. His approach was supportive and encouraging, taking the time to work through different topics and questions in a clear and easy to understand way. I attended one of Johns short courses leading up to my exams, which was also extremely helpful. With Johns support I was able to achieve a grade I wouldn't have otherwise been able to achieve, which helped me get into my preferred university choice to study Architecture. I would highly recommend John as a maths tutor.

John was a great tutor for my A level Maths. He was very organised and had a clear approach in preparing me for my exams. He gave me a lot of confidence and after a few sessions, the hardest questions felt much simpler. Thank you so much John for all your help!

John made a real difference! He coached both my children, whose abilities and needs were quite different. Both children achieved their potential and enjoyed the experience! Would highly recommend!

Had a really good experience of these tutor sessions. I found these extremely helpful and I would not have been able to achieve my maths grade without this help. Could not recommend more!

I would highly recommend John for any tuition needs. After searching through all available tutors in the area and speaking to most, John came across as the most subject knowledgeable and curriculum aware tutor. After many sessions of tuition with John, the teaching he provided was very professional and personalised to my needs, ensuring that I was confident and best prepared when completing my exams. The learning materials he provided for lessons and homework, were very relevant to the subjects I was studying. I believe the main reason I did so well in my exams that I took was because of the help that John gave me. Thanks again John, I couldn’t have done it without you!
