What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Parents seeking A-level maths support describe a tutoring service in York that helps students recover confidence and reach the grades they need. John Armstrong is named repeatedly, with reviewers praising his subject knowledge, his ability to diagnose where a pupil is struggling, and the way he adapts lessons and pace to suit the individual. Various customers describe how he kept them informed throughout, providing honest but constructive feedback so they could support their child at home.

A point made in several accounts is his flexibility: sessions were rearranged around illness, extra tuition was added when exams approached, and revision courses were spaced sensibly in the run-up to the summer examinations. His manner is described as firm but fair, patient and motivating, with a sense of humour that made lessons more enjoyable for reluctant learners.

Students themselves mention the boost to their confidence and their results, including one who secured a first-choice university place after a difficult period. The work covers A-level and GCSE maths, weekly sessions and Easter revision courses, with both sons and daughters benefiting over several years. A recurring theme is that the same standard applied across every pupil, with families returning for a second child and reporting consistent progress.

John is an amazing tutor. Both my boys attended the A level revision courses which they found extremely helpful. The courses were spaced evenly over the run up to exams which helped them with their maths revision just when time pressure is critical. I would highly recommend the courses and John as a personal maths tutor as his understanding of subject and student is excellent.

I was looking for a revision course to help my dyslexic son with his OCR A-level maths. My son attended John’s revision courses, he enjoyed it so much he wanted to continue with private lessons. John has provided Skype lessons for over a year, always going the extra mile to improve understanding, and raise our son’s confidence. After a year our son is a changed student, even reading books about maths! Good maths teachers are really, really hard to find anywhere. We are based in Warwickshire, we think so highly of John we are doing a digital commute, because if you find a teacher this good, you don’t let distance put you off!

York Tuition has supported my son through his GCSE and A level exams. With their support this has given him the knowledge and confidence to achieve his full potential in Maths and English. A tutor must be able to connect and communicate with pupils to ensure the extra tuition is sussesful, John Armstrong and his dedicated team have made the difference in enabling our son to excel in these subjects. We throughly recommend their services.

We can't express enough how grateful we are to John for his superb tuition. Not only is his maths ability top notch, John was able to adapt his lessons, schedule and manner of teaching for my son who was recovering from an illness at the time. He got the right tone and knew when to increase the pace. All resulted in my son getting an A in his a level maths and choice of uni. Thank you John

The service offered by York Tuition is excellent, with committed, positive tutors who showed a genuine interest in our sons. They provided honest but constructive feedback throughout, with great exam results to show for it. We used York Tuition for both of our sons and have only good things to say about them. We have already recommended them to several friends, and would have no hesitation in recommending them further. John, in particular, is an absolute star! You'd struggle to find a tutor or teacher more committed to mentoring young people. Thank you John.

We first contacted York Tuition a few months before our son took his AS Maths exams at which time he was struggling badly. Thankfully he not only passed his AS level but with further assistance this year has gone on to get a good grade at A level and a place at his University of choice. For someone who found the teaching methods at school difficult to follow he responded very well to the 1 to 1 support and if he was struggling with any concepts his tutor ensured that he understood before moving on the next topic. Thanks to the relaxed friendly environment and wonderful support his confidence grew and he even learned to enjoy Maths. I can’t praise York Tuition in enough and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for extra tuition.

I was recommended York Tuition by my friend and couldn't be more thankful. Finished my first year of AS without tuition and was one mark from failing, with the risk of being kicked off my Maths course. In my second year I worked with John Armstrong and he boosted my knowledge as well as my character. I came out with the grade and I wanted and am going to the university of choice. Couldn't be more thankful for John and his tuition with me over the past year.
