St John's College provides the ideal study environment. Academic assistance is provided by the Rector and Dean of Students assisted by a team of resident and non-resident Academic Tutors.  No extra charge is made to students for this service.

The tutorial programme is a comprehensive one (over 50 subjects per week) that assists students to achieve their best. St. John's is proud of the fact that the majority of tutors are sourced from the current student body. There is much to be said for the fact that the best coaching often comes from a peer mentor who has recently studied and achieved high marks in their subject area.

All rooms in the College have access to the Internet and a Computer Room is available for students that do not have a computer.

This is a safe and protective college in which security and independence are finely balanced.
