About Me
I was born in London and educated at an Oxfordshire Boarding School, where I enjoyed a wide range of extracurricular activities. I am a husband and a father to two sons, one who has a Business Degree, while the other has an MSc in Economics. I am also a Black Belt & UKCC Judo coach, who enjoys playing Chess with my students in school and on www.chess.com
Colleagues consider me empathetic, competent, patient & passionate about teaching. I previously enjoyed a successful career working in sales & marketing for Jaguar Cars in London, as well as roles in Chicago, Cape Town & Tokyo. In 2006 I was appointed MD of an international division of FTSE100 giant Allied Domecq, with marketing responsibility for targeted global brand extension for brands like Mumm Champagne, Malibu Rum & Laphroaig Scotch Whisky. Such varied experience helps students to apply their textbook learnings to real life situations - gaining AO2 Application marks.
Tutor Experience
I am an experienced UK teacher with over 15,000 hours of student contact time: Across 4 years in a UK secondary school, 3 years as Head of Business & Economics in The Seychelles, 2 years as Head of AP Economics in Bermuda and the 6 years as Head of Business & Economics in Spain. Since September 2023 I have been tutoring students full time for Business & Economics.
Most of my 900 lessons each year were delivered in classrooms, but several months of online sessions were effected during "lockdown" in 2020 - Since then I've delivered hundreds of one to one online tutor sessions. My speciality is helping struggling students achieve a good pass grade, by breaking down difficult concepts into manageable chunks, though I have also supported motivated students in achieving A* in Cambridge International A-levels, while my top Y11 GCSE student last year also achieved an A-grade in their AS exam. Since 1st September 2023 I have been tutoring a limited number of students full time.
Our tutor sessions would look to focus on your individual needs, whether specific topics, general revision or bespoke exam skills. I'll predominantly use PPT or online textbooks as required, but I can also set homework using past papers, worksheets or revision videos - I have other useful resources which I am happy to share with my students. You should try to let me know in advance what topics you'd like to cover off and ensure you have a pen and paper handy for taking notes; ideally you should have your camera on, but this is not mandatory.
Topic Expertise
I have 11 years’ experience with Cambridge International Economics for both IGCSE and A 'level. Also, several years teaching AP Economics for both Macro & Micro. My expertise is in explaining Economic concepts to struggling students (especially with English as a second language) for topics including: Price Elasticity, Monopoly, Perfect Competition, the PPC, all Supply & Demand scenarios including international trade & tariffs, Taxes, Consumer & Producer Surplus, LRAS, AS & AD, Cost Curves and Foreign Exchange - to name a few.
As for Business Studies, for the last 16 years I have taught GCSE, IGCSE, OCR Nationals, AQA Applied, UK & Cambridge International A ‘levels and lectured as a guest speaker for the Enterprise Department at Buckingham University. Having previously worked for 30 years in multinationals helps me to link business theory to reality, gaining AO2 marks. I like to help students understand concepts so as to remember them, rather than learn reams of text off by heart; I will help to bring your textbook to life and motivate you.
Some of my students have three lessons a week with me throughout the year, usually to study an entire syllabus, without a dedicated teacher. Other students use me once a week to consolidate their learning after lessons in school, while helping with homework. Finally, some students contact me just before exams for a few last minute revision lessons - often these classes prove to be very productive: I will explain how to answer essay questions so as best to maximise your marks according to the demands of the Assessment Objectives, while also offering revision PPT's and videos to maximise time & benefits. Please feel free to message me directly so we can set up a call to discuss your needs in more detail.

Testimonials
"...I wanted to inform you that I got an A* in my Business Studies A Levels! Overall I got 3 As and A* in Business, so I was incredibly pleased. I wanted to take the time to thank you, as your tutoring lessons were the most influential part of my business teaching, and I would not have been able to achieve such a high grade without it. I am going to study Law at Cardiff after a Gap year..." Imogen - October 2023.
“…John developed Business Studies & Economics into a real strength of the school; in fact, last year Mr Meyer led a successful group of Year-11 students to complete AS level Business Studies a year early, all of whom achieved A-grades.
John has a strong and caring management style and is an extremely visible and well-respected presence around the school campus. A particular strength is the close relationships he has developed with students and parents, and this is typified by the affection with which people greet him each morning. His leadership and organization skills have not gone unnoticed and he has enhanced his role within the school by originally taking on Head of Key Stage-4 responsibilities and in 2016 he was appointed as Head of the Secondary school. ”
