ParentCambridge IGCSE PhysicsWe had struggled to find a tutor who could support our child specifically with Cambridge IGCSE Physics exam preparation. Jonathan has been a great fit. He focused on the areas our child was struggling with and spent a lot of time working through past papers, explaining mistakes and showing them how to approach different question types. We have seen a noticeable improvement in their confidence, particularly when working under exam conditions.

StudentMathematicsJonathan has been very helpful with my Mathematics. As Spanish is my first language, I sometimes find it difficult to understand certain mathematical concepts in English, and it has been really useful that Jonathan can explain things in Spanish when needed. He is patient and breaks questions down step by step. I also like that we spend time practising exam questions and correcting my mistakes.

ParentPhysics and MathematicsJonathan has been an exceptional tutor for both Physics and Mathematics. His engineering background really shows in the way he teaches mechanics, forces, calculus, and problem-solving. He doesn’t just go through the syllabus, he ensures concepts are fully understood and applied correctly under exam conditions. We’ve seen clear improvement in confidence and test results in both subjects.
