Information About Kevin - Bray tutor

Personal Description:

Hi! I'm a 3rd-year Mathematics student at Trinity College Dublin with a strong academic background and a passion for helping others succeed. I earned a full 625 points in the Leaving Certificate, achieving:

H1 in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, French, and Japanese
H2 in German and Applied Maths

With first hand experience in mastering a diverse range of subjects, I understand not only the content but also what it takes to maximise marks under exam conditions. I focus on clear explanations, exam-focused strategies, and building confidence - tailoring each session to how you learn best.

Whether you're aiming for a H1 or trying to boost your grade by a level or two, I’ll help you focus on exam technique, marking schemes, and smart study strategies that get results.

Tutoring Experience:

I have a strong passion for teaching and have developed experience both formally and informally over the years. I recently delivered an introductory lecture on Matroid Theory at Trinity College Dublin, which helped make an advanced mathematical concept more accessible to undergraduates.

Outside of formal settings, I’ve consistently supported classmates and friends throughout both secondary school and college, helping them understand difficult topics and improve their grades. Many of the friends I helped in secondary school were initially struggling in subjects like Maths and Physics, but went on to achieve H2s and H1s in their Leaving Cert thanks to targeted support and exam-focused techniques.

I also supported my younger sister during her own Leaving Cert - guiding her through challenging subjects and helping her manage study plans effectively. These experiences have reinforced my belief that clear explanations, encouragement, and the right study strategies can make a real difference, no matter where a student is starting from.

Approach to Grinds:

My approach is student-focused and adaptable. I use the first lesson to get a clear understanding of what the student is looking for - whether it's strengthening foundational knowledge, preparing for an upcoming exam, or targeting specific problem areas.

Once I know the student's goals and current level, I prepare tailored lessons that focus on their needs, combining clear explanations, worked examples, and practical exam strategies. I place a strong emphasis on exam technique, understanding marking schemes, and helping students develop confidence in their abilities.

Every student learns differently, and my goal is to make the material as approachable and effective as possible, while ensuring steady progress toward their academic goals.
