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 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 my old university (for English), since 2013. Unlike many tutors, this is my full-time job (alongside various academic and legal projects), and I wouldn't want any other. It means a lot to me to be able to make whatever impact I can on the intellectual lives and careers of young people - and the best and perhaps the only way, I think, to do that is through proper conversations, individual-to-individual. I have countless hours of experience by now over the course of ten years in practice.

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. 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 in place.

Perfect! Good lesson with John!
Perfect! Johns extensive knowledge in law is so admiring and inspiring. His ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and understandable manner has greatly contributed to my understanding and I wouldn’t of been able to finish my PGDL without him. His expertise and passion for law is evident through the examples and real-life examples he provides during our sessions, which enhances my learning experience.
Additionally, I appreciate his patience and willingness to adapt his teaching style to match my learning style. His ability to identify areas where I struggle and then provide additional resources or alternate explanations has been immensely helpful. I feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification and having legal debates that enhances my writing skills. His professionalism is outstanding and he also prepares for our lessons so well and has knowledge with all cases. John is also extremely flexible and communication is brilliant. So far I have had tutoring for contract law and public law.
I couldn’t recommend him enough. I went through a really hard time and had to defer my studies and John has boosted my confidence.
Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication to helping me. I look forward to continuing our tutoring sessions for my PGDL and for the SQE next.View more reviews

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
