About Ken
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught maths in Secondary Schools for 28 years. I am a recently retired Head of Mathematics. I have been a private online maths tutor using Dragon Tutors for over 6 years and a private maths tutor in person for over 27 years. I am very familiar with all exam boards and have been an Exam Marker for both AQA and Edexcel. I have also helped many student teachers pass their professional numeracy test.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I hold a current DBS.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I completed my teacher training (PGCE in Mathematics) at Newcastle University.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
My students are always extremely pleased with the progress they make.
Parents tell me that they see a positive change in their child's focus, determination and attitude.
Here is some recent feedback from students and Parents:
"Brilliant teacher - due to this, in the past 6 months my grades and understanding in maths have seen a drastic increase - would highly recommend to anybody!" (GCSE maths student, 2017).
"I would highly recommend Ken as a maths tutor to anyone and would encourage it as a wise investment. He has restored my daughters confidence in her own abilities in order to provide her with the best possible chance of succeeding at her higher maths GCSE. Ken's superb teaching skills have enabled my daughter to understand topics which she had been unable to grasp at school and his years of experience as the head of maths department is evident through his extensive knowledge of the maths syllabus, exam system and excellent communication skills." (Parent of GCSE maths student, 2017)
"My daughter was lacking in confidence in maths in the run up to starting her GCSE programme. Ken has been really helpful in building up her confidence and he goes through each topic in line with her syllabus so she feels more prepared for class. His approach is methodic to each topic and is very structured. Ken is a great teacher."
