When my son first started year 12 he was averaging E at best in his mocks however when he started tuition with John he started to grasp and understand the content as the lessons are spent learning and pinpointing the specification and with lots of exam practice to hone exam technique which is essential to do well at alevel. John also has spent the time to make a website with indepth and simple to understand PowerPoints with for each specification point with exam practice. On top of that If my son had any questions about something in-between lessons John would always be available to contact. Ever since my sons mock grades have improved by several grades in the next set of mocks.

Excellent coach for A-level Chemistry!

Dr.John is an excellent tutor/coach for A-level Chemistry subject, a seasoned professional with an interactive & engaging approach that truly appeals to the students. I would highly recommend seeking his guidance/support to enhance knowledge systematically, gain conceptual clarity and confidence on the subject. His communication & planning to work with student's priorities and school assignments is very helpful for the students.

With a lot of appreciations and a sense of gratitude, as a parent - i would say that he’s too good for Chemistry coaching to enable consistent incremental progress by the students and to help them achieve higher grades.

An amazing teacher

John’s tutoring has been very helpful to my daughter. His sessions are engaging and he covers every topic in detail followed by lots of practice to ensure understanding. At the start of year 12, my dd found chemistry very challenging but under John’s guidance not only has her confidence increased but her grades have improved as well.

Exceptional Chemistry Tutor!

I am delighted to share my son's incredibly positive experience with Dr. John Griffiths. Despite Chemistry being my son's least favourite subject, he has not only been able to overcome his apprehension, but he has flourished under Dr Griffiths' guidance, consistently achieving A's in school internals. This achievement not only reflects my son's newfound confidence but also sets the stage for success in his upcoming A levels.

What truly sets Dr. Griffiths apart is his patient and personalized teaching approach. His remarkable adaptability to tailor the teaching methodology to suit individual students is not only commendable but, in my opinion, absolutely crucial for effective learning. Dr. Griffiths' ability to make the subject accessible and engaging has been a game-changer for my son's academic journey.

I am genuinely grateful for Dr. Griffiths' profound impact on my son's Chemistry education. His dedication, expertise, and the personalized touch he brings to his teaching make him an outstanding tutor. Without hesitation, I confidently recommend Dr Griffiths to any parent seeking top-notch A-level Chemistry tutoring for their child or any student wanting to enhance their knowledge.

Thank you, Dr. Griffiths, for making a significant difference in my son's academic life!

Excellent chemistry tutor

John taught our daughter for A Level Chemistry. He was very knowledgeable about the syllabus and methodically went through each topic, ensuring she understood it. The practise papers helped with exam technique and this helped to develop confidence too. I cannot recommend John highly enough as a tutor. He was fantastic.
