Information about Kenny
I`m a qualified teacher with experience in tutoring students from GCSE to undergraduate level. I received a Physics degree from Cardiff University, before getting married and moving to Sheffield to do my teacher training and a PhD.
Throughout this time I have been involved in teaching and tutoring, whether more formally in schools and at Sheffield University, or more informal private tuition to GCSE students and an engineering undergraduate.
My teaching seeks to develop understanding, whilst being enjoyable, and generally includes practical activities as well as written and oral work. In this respect I have spent many sessions in primary schools, secondary schools and public spaces (including the Winter Gardens, Sheffield) doing public Science teaching, demonstrations and promotions. This has helped me learn how to help everyone understand various aspects of Maths and Science, regardless of background or age.
Outside of teaching and tutoring I enjoy squash and getting out into the Peak district.
Availability: I`m available during the day. Please get in touch to confirm specific times.
Willing to travel: 3 miles
Experience: Whilst completing my teacher training I taught students from 12-18 and across the ability spectrum in all three Sciences.
Since then I have been involved in delivering tutorials and lectures at Sheffield University to undergraduate students in Physics and Maths. During this time I have privately tutored many GCSE, A-Level and adult students.
I vary my approach to tutoring depending on the needs, ability and age of the student, but in all cases I`m patient, friendly and encouraging.
When there is sufficient time, students are encouraged to complete some diagnostic work to establish both their ability and confidence across the curriculum. This allows the tutorials to be planned appropriately for each specific student.
Just before the exam, exam technique help and troubleshooting can make a significant difference to the students performance and confidence, even with just one or two sessions.

Kenny has tutored our son and daughter in GCSE Maths during Y11. We found him to be professional and friendly. He identified their weak areas, explained the topics thoroughly and built up their confidence in the subject - providing lots of support and valuable practice in the run up to the exam. Both students received good grades in the exam. Highly recommended tutor 5*

We engaged Kenny`s services to reinforce my son`s understanding of AQA A Level Physics, specifically regarding electricity.
My son found his sessions with Kenny really useful and they clarified and reinforced his understanding of the course work.
My son found that Kenny was very friendly and able to explain the concepts in a way that he could grasp.
We would be very happy to recommend Kenny and use his services again in the future.

Two of my sons (twins, Y11) needed a preparation for a Sixth Form entry exam in Physics and Maths. Kenny first spotted the weak areas of each student by asking a broad range of questions. He then was able to challenge each one with matching problems and clearly explain the tough points. Very positive and very professional. Highly recommended.

I needed help with my QTS numeracy exam on very short notice. Kenny was a fantastic teacher, friendly, clear and professional. He taught me many tips to quickly and effectively work out what I needed as well as checks that I can do in exam conditions to ensure that my answers were correct. I would highly recommend Kenny to anyone who needs help with their math.

Kenny helped me gain confidence in Maths by making all the concepts very approachable and by adjusting his teaching style to my specific needs. Excellent tutor. Thanks for everything.

Kenny tutored my son in Y11 triple science. It took only one session to give him a much better understanding of the areas he was struggling with. My son`s comments at the end were `finally, I understand!`. Kenny has a very professional manner with a great ability to meet his students at their level and challenge them further in a supportive way. He offered continued support both online and in person as and when my son needs it. My son has found renewed confidence in the subject, and I as a mum am thankful to know Kenny is someone we can look to for continued support.
