About John

Hi, I'm John Nichols, the President of The Tutors' Association (2020-present), co-founder of the e-learning platform Get My Grades and a tutor with over 10,000 hours of tuition and tutor-training experience.

I am available to take on a limited number of personal tuition clients alongside my other work representing the tuition profession and working on national and international education projects. I believe it is important to continue to deliver some tuition personally whilst building products for tutors and representing the tuition sector.

What do I offer as a tutor?

- A very broad range of experience in tuition (specifically) and education more broadly.

- I've successfully prepared students for some of the most challenging examinations and courses (e.g. Eton King's scholarship, Westminster Queen's scholarship, St Pauls, Winchester etc, alongside A/AS levels, GCSEs, IB and ISEB 13+).

- Since 2017 I have co-founded, edited and helped to create the e-learning platform 'Get My Grades' which I use with all relevant tuition placements (covering English, maths and sciences). Get My Grades allows me to set more, and more relevant tasks for students and give them control and visibility over their own progress whilst allowing me (and parents) to track how well they do.

- I have extensive personal understanding of teaching techniques, strategies and educational theory/evidence. I am one of the authors and editors of The Tutors' Association's national tutor training/CPD (Continuing Professional Development resources and have run multiple tutor training projects in the past.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to see if I can help you or your child.

Results and Testimonials:

"It is very difficult to express how grateful we are to you for what you've achieved with our son.
The challenges he has presented along the way have been met with patience and respect. Your perseverance and dedication are remarkable, but add to this your good humour through it all is what makes you a truly outstanding teacher. He was lucky to have you on his side." (History A2 Home Schooling)

"J has been accepted to Radley. He scored all As on his exams. Thank you very much for your kind help; you are a very organised and a very good tutor. You have prepared us well for the exam and I really appreciate that." (13+ Tutoring, science and maths)

"John is brilliant. He is always very polite, conscientious, punctual, very smart, funny, patient." (13+ Tutoring)

"John is quick to understand, dynamic and inspiring. For a 10 year old struggling with confidence in maths, he is perfect. Thank you so much for finding him." (11+ Tutoring)

From a private tuition agency:

"I’ve just spoken to [the parent] and I’m really thrilled to say that she could not be more pleased with you. She thought that you were really professional, organised and a great teacher. A huge well done on this one as she has not been easy to please in the past!"

"We’ve also had some lovely feedback from [the parent] saying that [the student] would have sessions with you every day if he could."

Perfect! He's fantastic!
John was the perfect tutor for my son Jack. His enthusiasm for this subject was infectious & like other reviewers have said, the structure & organisation of the lesson was perfect. Biology was not my son's favourite subject by any means but John found ways of engaging Jack & the result was an A in GCSE. Thanks John, you were brilliant & we look forward to seeing you when the time comes for my daughter.

John is an exceptional tutor which helped my daughter to archive an A at GCSE level. Thank you!
My daughter liked John's structural approach and finally understood Chemistry. We both felt, if we had started tutoring with John earlier, she might have enjoyed the subject during the two years of the GCSE course. I can recommend John highly he was always punctual and very friendly.

My son was extremely discouraged about his maths having just gone through a major period of illness. He had been moved down a set at School. Mr Nichols came and helped him to stop panicking, and systematically built his knowledge and ability. His confidence returned (our main aim) and his marks went from 60% to 89%. John also gave him his undivided, non-judgmental attention which boosted his morale and self-esteem. We are very grateful to John indeed.

John is a very competent tutor and knowlegeble and resourceful tutor. He is very organized and structured; his lessons prepare the student very well for the exam. He also communicates well to the parents, so we are reassured that our child is ready for the exam. He is friendly, firm and very professional. We are very happy to have him as our son's tutor.
