About Jonathan
I have been an examiner, a Head of Science in 4 schools, including one that is a G12 world school, and a schoolteacher in 4 continents. I have also, previously, been responsible for online learning at a large Academy in the UK. I am a specialist in using Teams, Zoom, XYlink and Skype. I have taught online, remotely, in China, New Zealand, Germany, Mexico and the UK to classes of students in schools in classrooms. I have also done 1-to-1 work around the globe. As a result, I have trained teachers in UK schools how to teach online.
As a classroom practitioner, I have delivered KS2, KS3, GCSE, iGCSE, A level, IB and prepared students for Cambridge international checkpoint tests. I have also tutored for 11-plus exams and prepared students for Public School examinations and Oxbridge entrance exams. A period of supply teaching in London schools meant that I have taught English, Maths, Science and IT in every type of school, from exclusive independent school to failing comprehensive; Jewish, Muslim and Catholic schools; girls, boys, mixed and special needs schools; primary, secondary and sixth-form schools. (I can provide references for all of these!)
The institution I went to as a child was shut down and I was literally the only boy to pass O level English but I went to Oxford. I wasn't that smart. My huge breadth of experience comes from my wish to find out how and why some students do well and others do not, and because I have an enthusiasm for learning. I am currently the parent governor of my son's school. As Helen Keller said: "life is an amazing adventure, or it is nothing!" :)
A product of a failing comprehensive school myself, I attended Oxford University, King's College (University of London) and Birkbeck College (University of London). M.Sc. qualified, I have a degree in Biology and Physics and a higher degree in Computer Science. I am a qualified fitness instructor and worked in the City as a software developer and project manager. I have run three businesses, including a tuition company that had over 140 students in Haringey.
Having recently relocated from Mexico City, I now live in KL - King's Lynn, not Kuala Lumpur! This allows me and my two young boys to be close to their grandma and grandpa and to watch Arsenal play occasionally... It is long overdue!
I can promise more laughter in my lessons than other tutors (!) - but I do think science is the single most relevant subject on the curriculum. It teaches us about the dangers/potential of AI, nanotechnological research into shape-shifting and immortality, global warming and planet colonisation, even time travel and the nature of things...
In an age where the written word is losing its efficacy and mathematics can be done better by computers, science teachers need to discuss these moral questions and give students curiosity and the tools to pass exams, but also to have informed opinions. I can lift your Physics grades by 17% in two classes. Chemistry and Biology take slightly longer (there is more to learn - and I revisit material so you learn in the sessions).
But this is just the vehicle. I want to inspire you to think about science. Even if you hate it now! :)

I am a fully qualified teacher of 25 years and Head of Science. Please see my video for information about the structure of lessons.
I offer the following:
1-to-1 (11–16 years)
Secondary education support. I offer tutoring in GCSE, iGCSE, KS3 and the American system. I am experienced in using AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International Examination Boards. I can support and set homework if required or offer assessment and past paper work. Please feel free to speak to me for advice and curriculum support. I am available 24/7 for support via WhatsApp, WeChat or telephone, if you wish.
Rate for Superprof clients: £50 per hour
16–18 years
A level Physics and BTEC support. I have taught Chemistry and Biology at A level, both online and in schools. I also have a first degree in Biology and Physics. Nevertheless, I only do Physics for 1-to-1 since my rates demand a degree of specialisation.
In terms of BTEC, I have spent two years delivering online support and am familiar with the curriculum and its specific demands, so I do offer support in all three subjects.
Small Group Classes
I want to help! If my rates are not affordable to you, why not ask me to set up a class for you and one or more friends, which will split the price? My minimum fee is only £10 for a group class. Do the same and have many more sessions! Please contact me - I am very flexible :)
For GCSE students, I also run a Sunday night past paper class, which is only £10.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Jonathan is an absolutely brilliant tutor, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He takes so much care to understand each child’s individual learning style and adapts his teaching perfectly to bring out the very best in them.
We’ve been with Jonathan since our daughter was in Year 8, and she’s now going into Year 11 - which speaks volumes about just how much we value his teaching. Before working with him, she had low confidence in the sciences and often felt overwhelmed. Thanks to his patient, supportive, and engaging approach, she has completely transformed - she’s now incredibly confident and achieved fantastic results in her mock exams this year!
Jonathan is not only professional and knowledgeable but also wonderfully friendly and approachable, which makes lessons enjoyable and stress free. He has a rare ability to explain complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand, and he always makes learning feel positive and empowering.
After all these years, we honestly wouldn’t go to anyone else for science tuition - Jonathan has been an absolute game changer for us. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, inspires confidence, and gets real results, he’s the tutor you want.He’s a very good teacher — very friendly and able to make learning much more interesting. He explains concepts clearly, gives helpful examples, and makes sure you understand before moving on.
Explains information very well and does his best to include all students while making sure the information is being taken in
Jonathan was great for my son doing his GCSE’s. He did the online evening sessions and it really helped. It got from a 4-4/5-4 to a high 6-5 and we couldn’t be happier.
Jonathan is an amazing science tutor! He is easy going while being very professional. My son really enjoys his physics tuition and that work is reflected in improved grades. Highly recommend Jonathan.
Jonathan has very stimulating teaching style and lessons are very interesting.
Energetic. Great structure.
He used to present the lectures very nicely and involve my son in the process. Also his way of conducting lessons is very good.
Johnathan recently supported my son Benjamin with his A level physics in online lessons; helping him to increase his confidence, his overall understanding of physics and preparing him for his exams.
The support that Johnathan provided led Benjamin to obtain the grade he needed, which we were all very pleased about. Benjamin was always eager to attend the sessions and enjoyed his lessons with Johnathan.
I would happily recommend Johnathan for science teaching for A level physics and GCSE sciences. JuliaJonathan is coaching GCSE science to my daughter. He is very punctual and his knowledge on the topic is so clear. My daughter eagerly waits for his sessions. He explains the concepts very clearly, follows a set time table and includes few tests to increase her confidence too.
Highly recommend.With his qualifications in Science, Technology and Education, Mr J Walwyn is in an excellent position to deliver the very high quality lessons that he does. He quickly establishes a positive relationship with his students so that they very rapidly grow in confidence in their subjects. Displaying all the communication skills required, and vastly experienced, he brings a special warmth and enthusiasm to the highly professional delivery of his lessons. Dr. P.F.Walwyn, University Tutor in Education.
Jonathan and I taught Science together at King's Lynn Academy. He focuses on his students' academic outcomes with exciting and well-planned lessons that explain core concepts well. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a knowledgeable professional.

He is a kind and takes he’s time to explain what he is teaching
