About John
I am a former student of Merton College, Oxford, where I studied English for BA (First class) and MSt (Distinction), and of Hertford College, Oxford, where I took the BCL postgraduate degree in Law (Distinction). My secondary school was Watford Grammar School for Boys. I have also have the Graduate Diploma in Law (Distinction), the equivalent of an undergraduate degree, from City Law School, University of London.
I have been teaching, independently and while attached to universities, since 2013. Unlike many tutors, this is my full-time job (alongside various independent research and writing projects), and I wouldn't want any other. I have countless hours of tutorial experience by now with hundreds of students over the course of over ten years doing what I do.

My specialism: helping students at all levels with structured writing. This is a unique and important skill - knowing how to shape an essay is just as important as knowing what to put in it. It is also a skill which I think schools and universities often neglect. There is a dangerous myth that it can’t be taught, that you can either write well, or you can’t. My view is that good essays can be reduced to a few simple techniques for setting out ideas clearly and in appropriate language. Many (though not all) students who contact me feel confident with content they need to grasp, but, having received inconsistent or confusing advice from teachers and tutors, struggle with exam technique and written expression. I aim to prove that academic writing is best kept simple. The difficult things often fall surprisingly quickly and painlessly into place once the basics - basic research, essay planning, and critical thinking skills, plus basic grammar and expression - are mastered.

I came to John having taken two years of interruption, due to illness, from studying english literature at university. I was incredibly anxious, very behind on my course and had, because of the illness, struggled to enjoy learning for a long time. He has managed to do the two things that really excellent teachers do: make me feel excited about literature and ideas again, and put me at ease in tutorials so that I never have to feel that what I'm saying is stupid or irrelevant. Alongside that, on a more practical level, he is incredibly flexible and generous with his time, always prepared, fantastically knowledgeable about both the work and the university system and has also been really great at helping me to manage my time and work in a productive way (which for someone who has dyspraxia and dyslexia is fairly difficult). I feel very lucky to have found him as a tutor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone reading this
