About Jonathan
I am a single dad to a 7-year-old little boy called Alvin. We live in the UK and I am Chair of Governors at his school.
I have over 25 years' experience teaching (and eventually being a Head of Science) in some of the toughest state schools in the UK and also some of the most exclusive. Indeed I worked at "the best non-selective secondary school in the UK" as well as "the school that died of poverty" (Times and Guardian newspapers respectively).
I have worked in other industries, such as being a software project manager writing software for the financial markets in the City and even a personal fitness trainer. However, having been brought up in one of the most underprivileged secondary schools and ultimately going to Oxford, I have a passion for my subject and for teaching. I love big ideas. Life is, I believe, an exciting adventure...

The best predictor of success in online lessons, I feel, is the rapport between the teacher and the student. Provided the student is not a Tottenham supporter (and even occasionally when it is!) this is normally my forte.
I love teaching and my students are lovely people who I take a huge personal satisfaction and pride in helping support. As such, I prepare resources that genuinely advance them. I am a product of a failing school but went to Oxford; I believe in their potential to achieve their dreams and I understand their frustrations and aspirations.
My lessons normally run for an hour and I use Zoom and Google Classroom to store resources. I normally communicate with parents through WhatsApp which allows students to snap difficulties with their work to send through if they need to. I help them excel in all elements of their school lives (homework, class tests etc.), whilst making sure they ultimately achieve the highest grades in their final exams.
I am a huge believer in accelerated learning where appropriate. GCSE is easy if you have the right tutor. Honestly :)
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Jonathan is an absolutely brilliant tutor, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He takes so much care to understand each child’s individual learning style and adapts his teaching perfectly to bring out the very best in them.
We’ve been with Jonathan since our daughter was in Year 8, and she’s now going into Year 11 - which speaks volumes about just how much we value his teaching. Before working with him, she had low confidence in the sciences and often felt overwhelmed. Thanks to his patient, supportive, and engaging approach, she has completely transformed - she’s now incredibly confident and achieved fantastic results in her mock exams this year!
Jonathan is not only professional and knowledgeable but also wonderfully friendly and approachable, which makes lessons enjoyable and stress free. He has a rare ability to explain complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand, and he always makes learning feel positive and empowering.
After all these years, we honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else for science tuition - Jonathan has been an absolute game changer for us. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, inspires confidence, and gets real results, he’s the tutor you want.He’s a very good teacher — very friendly and able to make learning much more interesting. He explains concepts clearly, gives helpful examples, and makes sure you understand before moving on.
Explains information very well and does his best to include all students while making sure the information is being taken in
Jonathan was great for my son doing his GCSE’s. He did the online evening sessions and it really helped. It got from a 4-4/5-4 to a high 6-5 and we couldn’t be happier.
Jonathan is an amazing science tutor! He is easy going while being very professional. My son really enjoys his physics tuition and that work is reflected in improved grades. Highly recommend Jonathan.
Jonathan has very stimulating teaching style and lessons are very interesting.
Energetic. Great structure.
He used to present the lectures very nicely and involve my son in the process. Also his way of conducting lessons is very good.
Johnathan recently supported my son Benjamin with his A level physics in online lessons; helping him to increase his confidence, his overall understanding of physics and preparing him for his exams.
The support that Johnathan provided led Benjamin to obtain the grade he needed, which we were all very pleased about. Benjamin was always eager to attend the sessions and enjoyed his lessons with Johnathan.
I would happily recommend Johnathan for science teaching for A level physics and GCSE sciences. JuliaJonathan is coaching GCSE science to my daughter. He is very punctual and his knowledge on the topic is so clear. My daughter eagerly waits for his sessions. He explains the concepts very clearly, follows a set time table and includes few tests to increase her confidence too.
Highly recommend.With his qualifications in Science, Technology and Education, Mr J Walwyn is in an excellent position to deliver the very high quality lessons that he does. He quickly establishes a positive relationship with his students so that they very rapidly grow in confidence in their subjects. Displaying all the communication skills required, and vastly experienced, he brings a special warmth and enthusiasm to the highly professional delivery of his lessons. Dr. P.F.Walwyn, University Tutor in Education.
Jonathan and I taught Science together at King's Lynn Academy. He focuses on his students' academic outcomes with exciting and well-planned lessons that explain core concepts well. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a knowledgeable professional.
