John is a Politics and Classical Civilisation tutor with a passion for learning and an impressive academic background. He encourages his tutees to become 'active learners' and to steer away from 'parrot-like' approaches to studying.
"We found Michael to be an outstanding, warm and very effective tutor. Our son was predicted a B in Latin A-Level, which would have stopped him from getting into his first choice of university. Michael not only got him up to an A, but managed to get him up to an A*. His teacher was thrilled, and quite astonished."

Currently doing Protagoras and the notes I've written down are incredible -and it's just the beginning! Looking forward to the next session!"
