Information About Kevin

Personal Description: I have recently taken early retirement from a teaching career so now have the time and flexibility to direct some of my energy and experience into private tuition. I have a very positive outlook and have always enjoyed Maths. I am a persevering and patient character and commited to succeed in all aspects of my life. I get along well with learners and I always receive great feedback from my students.

Tutoring Experience: Around 30 years experience of teaching Maths in Schools and Colleges as a successful Head of Department. Have taught from age 11 low ability through to Further Maths A level .

Tutoring Approach: I am sympathetic and successful at building the confidence of learners of all ages . It is important to establish a good foundation and rapport with learners and to build in small steps that keep the learner on board. There is always a range of ways of looking at a concept and from my experience and understanding of the difficulties that learners can encounter, I have the flexibility to adopt suitable approaches to enhance understanding .Checking and reinforcing previous learning through practice is also very important in establishing long term understanding. I have always enjoyed solving problems of all types and you have my assurance that your success would be my focus and key objective . Working together, I feel very confident that we can both achieve the outcomes that are neeeded.

From Julie (4/5): (A-Level Maths) At first Chris was reluctant to start private tutoring as he thought that trying to figure things out himself using the internet and past papers would be sufficient. However, he did agree to try a private tutor and after a couple of sessions Chris did admit some benefit in being able to talk through particular areas that were causing him to feel stuck. Kevin engaged with Chris quickly in the first meeting and was able to identify the areas where Chris needed help. Likewise Chris has found it useful to note the areas he is struggling in and bring them to the session. So far so good and I think Chris needs to stick with it and following the January exam will realise the full benefit of Kevin's extra support.Thank you.

From Mcdonald (5/5): (GCSE Maths) kevin is excellent and conor is really taking to kevin's style of learning
