John's Home School Tuition

Maths, Mathematics, GCSE, KS3, Key Stage 3, Tuition, Tutoring

I provide an excellent and affordable homeschooling program in Mathematics and Science, available on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

My Home School Provision

My 60-minute lessons are pre-planned for each half term and include a homework sheet, along with access to personalised feedback from me.

After registering, you will receive a personal learning space provided by TutorBird. Here, you can access my calendar and book your lessons. It also serves as a convenient space for communication with me. Parents and carers are automatically copied into all student correspondence.

All lessons are conducted via Zoom. I have experience teaching students with a variety of learning needs. Camera use is encouraged but not mandatory for nervous learners. I utilise breakout rooms to provide one-to-one support and conduct assessment for learning.

All lessons include a recap of first principles so they are suitable for learners joining at any point in the term. I am also available to provide feedback. GCSE lessons focus on exam technique and use plenty of past paper questions.

All lessons are suitable for those studying the AQA, Cambridge GCSE or iGCSE, or the Pearson Edexcel GCSE or iGCSE specifications. KS3 follows the National Curriculum.

Classroom practitioner

I have a BSc Honours in combined STEM, PGCE Physics with QTS.  I am also an experienced classroom practitioner in England, teaching mathematics up to higher GCSE level,  and physics up to A-Level.

Updated DBS

Safeguarding is extremely important. I will always have a discussion with parents of a prospective student to clarify expectations during my lessons.

Online Lessons via Zoom

My lessons are interactive and immersive using zoom pro. Small group classes of up to 6 students. Lessons are recored for quality and safety purposes. Breakout rooms are used for 1 to 1 support and feedback.

Mathematics Content

During the year, my lessons will cover a range of KS3 and GCSE maths content:

Key Stage 3 Mathematics

  • Number: Fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratio.
  • Algebra: Simplifying expressions, solving equations, sequences, and graphs.
  • Geometry and Measures: Properties of shapes, area, volume, and transformations.
  • Statistics: Interpreting and presenting data, averages, and probability.

GCSE Mathematics

  • Number: Calculations, indices, standard form, and percentages.
  • Algebra: Solving equations and inequalities, quadratic graphs, and sequences.
  • Geometry and Measures: Trigonometry, vectors, transformations, and circle theorems.
  • Probability and Statistics: Probability rules, cumulative frequency, and histograms.
  • Exam Preparation: All lessons focus on past papers, problem-solving, and time management.

Science Content

During the year, my lessons will cover a range of KS3 and GCSE science content:

Key Stage 3 Biology

In Biology, we explore the fascinating world of living organisms. Students will dive into topics such as:

  • Cell structure and function: Understanding the building blocks of life.
  • Reproduction and growth: Learning how plants and animals reproduce and grow.
  • Ecosystems and biodiversity: Exploring the interactions within ecosystems and the importance of biodiversity.
  • Health and disease: Investigating human health, including diet, exercise, and the immune system.

Key Stage 3 Chemistry

In Chemistry, students will uncover the properties of substances and how they interact. Key topics include:

  • Atoms, elements, and compounds: Understanding the basics of matter and chemical reactions.
  • Chemical reactions: Exploring reactions such as combustion and oxidation, and how substances change.
  • The periodic table: Learning about the organization of elements and their properties.
  • Acids and alkalis: Investigating the properties and uses of acids, alkalis, and indicators.

Key Stage 3 Physics

In Physics, students will investigate the fundamental principles that govern the physical world. Topics include:

  • Forces and motion: Understanding how forces affect movement and the principles of speed and acceleration.
  • Energy transfer: Exploring the different forms of energy and how energy is transferred and conserved.
  • Waves and sound: Learning about the properties of waves, sound, and light.
  • Electricity and magnetism: Investigating electrical circuits, current, voltage, and magnetism.

GCSE Physics Tuition

  • Energy: Exploring energy transfers, conservation, and efficiency.
  • Electricity: Understanding electrical circuits, current, voltage, and resistance.
  • Particle Model of Matter: Examining the behaviour of solids, liquids, gases, and changes of state.
  • Atomic Structure: Studying radioactivity and the properties of atoms.
  • Forces and Motion: Covering Newton’s laws, momentum, and equations of motion.
  • Waves: Investigating the properties of waves, including light and sound.
  • Magnetism and Electromagnetism: Understanding magnetic fields and their practical applications.
  • Space Physics: Exploring the solar system, life cycles of stars, and the expanding universe.
