I contacted William to tutor my daughter A-level computer. He is a good teacher and a nice gentleman but my daughter didn’t find his teaching style useful and they did not reach an understanding. Unfortunately it didn’t work out this time.
The need turned out to be specifically with Python programming and there turned out to be numerous practical difficulties with the tuition and the technicalities so we didn't make the progress either of us had hoped for.
From Nicola
William John helped my son prepare for his Computer Science IGCSE. In particular, we were looking for someone who could advise on the pre-release material. William was approachable and flexible and targeted his tuition to meet our requirements. My son did well in his exam, achieving an A, so we were happy with the help.
From Lee
Over the last four years John has helped both my sons in A-Level maths, with both achieving A grade standard. John is an empathetic and patient tutor and got on well with both boys. Prior to lockdown, John would come round and tutor face-to-face at our home. During lockdown we continued via Zoom and this worked really well. John has been an excellent teacher and given our children a real confidence boost. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a helping hand with their maths.
Thanks very much Lee. It has been a real pleasure teaching both your sons and rewarding to see their progress due to their commitment and hard work, particularly in the last few months.

From Helen
My son has only had a couple of lessons with John but he has found John clear, supportive and is engaging him to do his best and help him push and prepare for his GCSE next May. John is professional and flexible, we're looking forward to a positive year together.

Mr has been tutoring me in maths. He has helped me regain my confidence and prepared me for my GCSE exams. I have found him really easy to get along with and enjoyed all my lessons with him.
Thanks for that. It's been a pleasure!

From Alex
Both my sons are finding their tuition useful. John seems very knowledgeable and explains things well.
From Steven
John was an excellent tutor, he understood what was needed to get the required 'A' level grades, therefore the lessons were geared precisely to what was needed. John was very easy to get on with and able to be flexible with lessons when necessary. Thank you very much for helping me to achieve my goal.
From Marion
Thank you. Yes I've made contact! Ben will be seeing John this week. Regards, Marion
From Jenny
William found his first lesson with John very useful and it helped him a great deal towards his school lessons. He's looking forward to his future lessons with John.
From Paula
My son is absolutely delighted with John 's teaching skills. He enjoys the lessons and looks forward to them. I think this is its own testimonial!!
From Peter
My daughter found Mr Walktons approach very positive and relaxing attitude really helped her studies to sink in after 1 session she was very pleased with test result she received after going over topics with Mr she is looking forward to moving on with her tutor
From Heather
We have only had one session of tuition from John so far but he certainly made my daughter feel at ease with maths. They went over some past SATs papers and he explained the questions she struggled with. We fully intend to continue with John as our daughter's tutor.
From Jo
After a couple of tutoring sessions, my son has found John to be a very good tutor. His explanations are very clear and already my son is feeling more confident about taking his maths GCSE. I would definitely recommend John as a tutor.
From Olu
John has really hepled my daughter with her A level maths - She finds him very approachable and particularly likes the fact that he uses simple examples to explain complex areas. Most lessons start with a list of things she has not understood from the previous week as school, which she also finds very useful.
