Kevin (Tutor)

 English (gcse, adult-learner, a-level)

I have a wide range of teaching experience from EFL to GCSE; in group/class work and one-to-one; in the UK and overseas; and age groups from 14+.

Subject wise, I specialise in English language and literature, but I have taught numeracy (low levels) and ICT. My interests include history, politics and geography, so I feel more than comfortable within the Humanities subjects.

Alas, science is not my forte!
