TESTIMONIAL
John is the most engaging and knowledgeable English tutor I have come across. From a position of knowing very little about my A-level course, John condensed 2 years of insightful, in-depth English literature tutoring into around 6 months. His lessons are extremely rigorous he sets each of his students up for a fighting chance of achieving that A grade, whilst having fun along the way! I would definitely recommend him.

TESTIMONIAL
John Venning helped me prepare for my Oxford application and I can confidently say that without him I don't think I would have been accepted. We covered a wide range of material in such depth and he helped me realise my full potential. I would definitely recommend him!

TESTIMONIAL
Mr Venning is a highly experienced, patient and resolute tutor who has been a great help to me as I was preparing for my A-Level English Literature examinations, particularly with his inexhaustible and extremely detailed knowledge of the works of John Milton and William Shakespeare. His guidance had not only essentially rescued me from potential failure, but had also given me the confidence to achieve the highest grades. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a tutor for anyone hoping to do well in English Literature.
