Born and raised in the south of England, John developed a passion for three things: cricket, acting, and mathematics. His enthusiasm for the latter led him to pursue a university degree, culminating in a doctorate in engineering. During his academic journey, he discovered a deep passion for teaching, which naturally guided him from research into the classroom.
John spent five fulfilling years teaching in South Wales before embarking on an international teaching opportunity in the Caribbean. However, his strong connection to South Wales ultimately drew him back, where he established himself as a dedicated private tutor. Having always valued the personalised approach of one-to-one tuition, John finds great satisfaction in building strong rapport with his students and providing tailored support to help them succeed.
Was a maths teacher at one of Swansea's best schools with higher then average grades

I have known John for some time having played cricket with him. He tutored my son a few years ago who was on target for a D grade, John tutored him once a week for 2 months and my son passed with a B, my son happily went along amd enjoyed the one to one sessions with John in a much nore laod back setting and atmosphere then at school which he was none to keen at. I would have no hesitation in employing John was as well as being highly knowledgeable on most subjects but especially so Maths, is also a very friendly and approachable person.

John is very professional, friendly & engaging. My son has additional needs & John used my sons advantages to help him learn.
John was kind & was keen to know how best to teach my son.
We appreciate the work that John did with my son, and the dedication he put into teaching him.
Thank you!
My daughter had a few sessions with Dr Welch and they massively increased her confidence and understanding ready for a test. Would highly reccomend

My daughter received weekly tutoring sessions during year 10 and 11 for both her numeracy and mathematics GCSE’s
Her confidence grew in leaps and bounds thanks to the amazing effort from John.
He adapted his techniques to suit her needs and helped her to develop and understand the concepts needed.
She passed both exams with straight A’s, which I believe is thanks to John.

Would highly recommend John's tutoring sessions, my son was predicted to gain a D grade but a few months with Dr John saw him fly through his exams with a B grade, my son who wasn't a lover a school enjoyed the one to one sessions in a far more relaxed atmosphere
