I am an experienced teacher of a wide range of levels and abilities, from GCSE to degree level. I believe that active learning and differentiation are important, the latter particularly with respect to the abilities, backgrounds, interests and learning styles of students as a way towards helping all students to maximise their potential. I work to ensure that students have a firm grasp of the basics before encouraging them to push themselves through discussion, the use of examples and brief exercises. I will try to work alongside and through the school curriculum and, of course, with the relevant specification. I will always aim to either relate the work to the student's own experiences and prior understanding, or I will work to help the student understand the exciting possibilities available when moving away from their comfort zone and accessing the richness and diversity of literary writing. These approaches are not, of course, exclusive. My most recent lesson observation, which took place in November 2017, resulted in the following comment from the observer, the manager of a college Teaching and Learning team: “This was a very effective and productive lesson, where all students worked studiously and made good progress. The students are studying King Lear and the learning objectives for this lesson were introduced clearly at the start, with the skills being developed becoming incrementally harder as the lesson progressed. This is a quiet class and the teacher used various strategies to try and get them all to contribute – by the end of the lesson, all students had shared at least one idea with the whole class. Learning behaviours were strong, with all students equipped and ready to learn, and there was good evidence of prior learning and the progress made on the course so far.” Comments on student feedback were as follows: “I spoke with one table of students once the group activity had started. They were able to engage conceptually and with interest in a discussion on Shakespeare’s presentation of the female characters in the play. They were also able to tell me what their individual strengths and areas for development in the subject are.”

Jon is a fabulous tutor and can make the most of daunting tasks fun and therefore understandable. Under his tutelage I have prospered and gained love of English literature so much so that I am now exploring the concept of becoming a writer. Thank you Jon
Jon taught me GCSE English re-take and he was a fantastic teacher. He was helpful and explained things very clearly, we had great structure and feedback after mock exams was always very useful. Made it easy to progress and made each class interesting!
