About Kathryn
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been an independent tutor since May 2013, with students of mixed ability from key stage 3 students wishing to improve their confidence to students studying for their GCSE, IGCSE subjects and prospective teachers taking their QTS numeracy skills test. I have had most of my experience on a face-to-face basis but do also have some experience with online tuition.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, I have an enhanced DBS Certificate. It is available to view on here.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I have no formal teaching qualifications but my passion to help students gain knowledge and aid confidence, with individually tailored lessons plans has seem them succeed in their subjects and has given me the drive to continue. I am patient, supportive and empathetic to the needs and challenges faced by young people in education.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
Yes I am a member of MEI (Mathematics in Education and Industry) and Number Partners (a national volunteering service supporting numeracy in young people).
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I have many mixed ability students studying for their GCSE's and IGCSE's in Science and Maths. The one thing they all have in common is they want to do well in their exams and are willing to work hard to get there. I'm very proud of their efforts and wish them every success on their academic journey and beyond. My prospective teachers have a reservation/lack of confidence in maths/numbers, usually from their time at school.

We found Kathryn on the Internet after we realised our daughter was struggling with maths. She quickly built a great rapport with our daughter and quickly instilled her with confidence. She managed to lift her 3 grades in just 6 months. I would recommend her to anyone if you want reliability and hard-working this is the tutor for you or your children.
Kathryn is amazing. The tutor sessions helped me so much, physics was my weakest science and she went through all the exam technique and content slowly and thoroughly explaining everything clearly. With Kathryn's support I went from a D in physics in year 10 mocks to an A* in GCSE's! Thankyou!!
Kathryn was a great science tutor for all three sciences throughout year 11, bringing my CD grade in year 10 to AA in GCSE's! Her calm and motivating approach meant I was determined to work hard whilst also growing a love for the subjects. Thankyou Kathryn!
After not doing maths since GCSE the thought of doing the QTS numeracy test was daunting. Kathryn built my confidence by starting simple, to check understanding and taught me tricks along the way to improve my mental arithmetic. Kathryn was kind, patient and helpful and I would recommend her tuition highly. Passed my numeracy QTS test first time, which shows the tuition worked!
Many Thanks.
JosephineI was struggling with the numeracy skills test and needed support. After a few lessons with Kathryn, my mark shot up from a fail to a pass mark. She was supportive, helpful and boosted my confidence. She tailored the lessons to my individual needs and I would not have passed without her knowledge, understanding and genuine passion for maths. I just passed my numeracy skills test today and thanks to her help, I can look forward to starting university in September
I've always struggled with maths, and I was daunted by the idea of the maths QTS test! Kathryn was patient and friendly, always encouraging me to ask questions about things that I didn't understand. She suggested different ways of solving problems so that I could choose a method that most suited me, and taught me tricks so I could reach answers quicker and easier. Not only did I pass first time, I also began to enjoy maths, something I never thought would happen! I couldn't thank her enough!
I just want to say how truly thankful we were when we gained Kathryn as a tutor. My daughter was struggling with her science subjects, especially physics. She informed her teachers that she didn't understand the work and with no help she was getting D's. Kathryn is very friendly, reliable and great at what she does. Katie gained so much confidence in the areas she found almost impossible. By the time she came to do her exams, she was ready for them. We were thrilled at her results. She got A's.
Hi Kathryn just thought I'd drop you a note to say a huge thank you for helping our son with his maths and sciences. He got an A in maths. That would never have happened without your patience and help. He got B b in sciences which again he would never have got.
My son had lost his way with his GCSE Chemistry. After his first session he said 'Mum that was great'. He loved his lessons and looked forward to them every week. Kathryn rebuilt his confidence whilst giving him a deeper and clearer understanding of the subject. This resulted in his mark increasing from a C to an A. He now wants to do a science based degree. I highly recommend Katheryn and will always be grateful for work she did with my son. Thank you Kathryn.
