My daughter really enjoys her sessions with him. He's been extremely responsive in a stressful situation (the realisation that year 12 has gone off the rails - not an uncommon one unfortunately - and needs to be helped back on course swiftly) and taken the time to explain his methods and update me on her progress. He covers the unusual combination of my daughter's A level choices having agreed to start back up with RS tutoring for her although he has recently decided to focus on STEM. Plus he really gets my daughter's anxiety based self imposed limitations and is helping her to build her confidence back up after a dreadful year. He gets, and advocates, that this is not about a promise to improve by x grades but to build a love of learning again. It's early days but I feel positive for my daughter for the first time again in 9 months. Thanks, Ken!
Thanks Steph - your comments are very gracious. It is a joy teaching your daughter and an honour to help her re-build her confidence.
From Narina
Ken has been a wonderful Psychology tutor for my child who is doing A level this year - cheerful, patient and understanding and he made the lessons really interesting and lively. I am very grateful to him and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Thanks Narina for your kind words - your son has certainly done well in the short time I've known him. Not easy times, but he has persevered. Best wishes for the future! Ken
From Rebecca
Ken has been a life saviour to date for Heather in offering a unique and fun learning strategy in Psychology. With A level exams being imminent and with struggling to understand some of the essay style questions, Ken has to date been key to her fantastic progress.
From Lindsey
My daughter missed a year of the GCSE syllabus and is due to take her exams in 2023, we were very concerned that she would be in difficulty. Enter Ken, stage left :-) Now, after only 2 weeks of tutoring, not only are we confident she will pass with flying colours, our daughter is too! Ken is a breath of fresh air. His lessons are well prepared, teenage friendly and packed with content. Ken's passion for his subjects is infectious and focused, drawing in the listener. Thank you Ken.
Thank you Lindsey for your very lovely feedback - It's easy to be passionate about lessons when you have a great student and your daughter is certainly that!
From Hope
My girls have enjoyed working with Ken over this summer. Although it was a short period, he made a great impact and the girls are keen to continue with Ken when able to.
Thank you for your kind comment. Both your girls were a delight a teach and I look forward to working with them again as and when we can!
From Victoria
Ken is a professional and my son enjoys his lessons.
From Aditya
I have been having online tutor meetings with Ken for the past six months. I do not follow A/levels through a school but study through a correspondence course. So to have a good tutor makes all the difference. Ken has been a fabulous tutor. He is knowledgeable when it comes to the subject (psychology) and knows to teach the material well. Ken also helps me learn new ways to memorize important facts. He is always enthusiastic. I feel like I'm really able to progress with Ken as my tutor and am very happy to have him as my support!
Thank you Aditya - I always particularly appreciate it when students take the time to give reviews rather than parents! You're doing very well because you have a good focus and excellent attitude to the classes. Well done so far!
From Rumisa
Ken is an excellent tutor who has helped me a lot with my psychology A level in such a short time. I was getting average grades, however, with the help of useful revision and recall techniques, and enjoyable classes, I was able to get A*’s in my recent tests. Thank you!
Thank you Rumisa - you did really well in such a short space of time. Well done and good luck for the future!
From Sue
Ken has been extremely valuable in helping our daughter to enjoy maths and help her to feel more confident at attempting more challenging maths problems. The fun and passion he injects into his teaching has really helped her with her recall of maths in school. He’s been a huge help.
Thank you Sue! It has been a delight teaching your daughter and I look forward to more!
From Susan
Ken is an excellent tutor and our daughter has gained so much confidence in her Maths ability from her lessons, also the consistency of being able to continue covering the curriculum over lockdown really saved us. The content of the lessons is excellent and exceeds what she’s learning at school.Ken is very approachable and adaptable and we highly recommend his services.
Thank you Susan - that's very kind of you! :)
From Jerry
Ken recently started teaching my son who is in year 11 English Language and Literature. My son is very happy and satisfied with his teaching . He thinks Ken's method of teaching comes from a very strategic, targeted and experienced perspectives that you may not always find common in many other teachers. It is still early days, but we are quite happy with him. In addition, I personally think Ken is someone who is not after the money but mainly interested in developing people, otherwise, he would be charging more. If you read his profile, he travels to developing countries to contribute in developing their educational system. I hope to continue with his services when my son starts his sixth form.
Thank you Jerry, you're very kind. I look forward to continuing with your son at sixth form! Best wishes, Ken
From Nadia
Ken is an excellent tutor for our GCSE son. Patient, diligent, organised, communicative. We are very pleased. Thanks Ken!
Thank you Nadia! It has been great getting to know your son and I'm looking forward to more excellent lessons with him.
From Steven
My daughter finds his tuition thoroughly enjoyable.
From Steven
We have had a number of tutors before and Ken is head and shoulders above the rest. We now have Ken teach our daughter Mathematics and also music to add to my son’s English lesson. It is obvious that Ken has a wealth of experience and he motivates both of my children to learn and focus. I could not be happier with Ken; a real tutor in my view and a teacher I would have liked to have taught me! (one of those!)
10 out of 10 in every department: motivation, professional, fun and engaging.
Lovely children and smashing family who are a delight to work with!
From Christine
Ken is very positive and patient im so glad i got him for a tutor for my grandaughter.
Thank you very much! Your granddaughter is very lovely and a pleasure to teach. :)
From Marion
Ken is a great GCSE tutor for my son. He is helping him to get through one of his 'worst' subjects by using mnemonic devices, which suits him especially.
Lovely comment - thank you! I look forward to continuing to help your son 'battle' those poems!
From Claire
Ken is a brilliant tutor, very reliable and accommodating. My son is really enjoying his lessons and is learning a lot from them. Would highly recommend!
Thank you Claire - it is a pleasure teaching your son and I'm glad he's enjoying our sessions together!
From Yvonne
Ken is an excellent tutor, he has been tutoring my daughter in math she has regained her confidence enough to resit her gcse exam. Very friendly and make the lesson interesting. Y groggins
