Jonathan has been an exceptional tutor for both Physics and Mathematics. His engineering background really shows in the way he teaches mechanics, forces, calculus, and problem-solving. He doesn’t just go through the syllabus, he ensures concepts are fully understood and applied correctly under exam conditions. We’ve seen clear improvement in confidence and test results in both subjects.
