About the Tutor

Kenneth has been a Mathematics Teacher for over 30 years. He has taught at secondary level in mathematics education, the age range 11 - 19. He graduated with an Upper Second Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Mathematical Sciences (subjects included pure/ applied mathematics, statistics, numerical analysis and computing).

He acquired a Post Graduate Certificate in Mathematics Education shortly afterwards. Both qualifications were gained in the United Kingdom .

Teaching Experience in Mathematics Education

Kenneth started his teaching career in mathematics education in the UK, working at a 11 - 18+ high school. He taught the complete age range, which at that time was GCE 'O' Level, and GCE 'A' Level. He taught the SMP mathematics syllabi (modern maths) at the two levels. At GCE 'O' Level he taught mathematics, statistics, and additional mathematics. At GCE 'A' Level he taught Mathematics and Further Mathematics.

After 5 years Kenneth moved to a nearby sixth form college (16 - 19) and taught GCE 'A' Level there for another 5 years. He taught two different syllabi, one being SMP, and the other a more traditional form of advanced mathematics. The mathematics subjects included 'A' Level Statistics, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, SMP Mathematics and SMP Further Mathematics. He also taught 'A/S' Applied Statistics.

Kenneth left the sixth form college and has spent 17 years teaching, at the secondary level in mathematics education, mathematics, ICT and computer studies in south - east asia.

He is now back in England, teaching Mathematics in a private college in South London.

Examination Experience

Kenneth has marked both GCE 'O' Level and GCSE Mathematics, 'O' Level Additional Mathematics, and Statistics for two UK examination boards over a seven year period.

He has also been the independent moderator for A/S Applied Statistics for another UK examination board.

Teaching Materials

During his teaching practice, Kenneth discovered that the examples and questions in the standard textbook were unsuitable for the classes that he taught. Quite often classes would become restless, when they found the set questions difficult to solve.

Kenneth decided to make up his own questions and found that classes were much better behaved, with happier more successful students.

Kenneth's course tutor told him he had learnt a valuable lesson.

Since then Kenneth has carried forward this valuable lesson, and always developed and used his own material. Its a process which he has refined over the years as he gained experience. His lesson material is now available in the form of mathematics tutorials as volumes.

Each mathematics tutorial comprises of worked examples, a lesson of questions graded in order of increasing difficulty (so there is something available for the more able student towards the end) and detailed solutions.

Tutorials are arranged in packs of 6 - 5 lessons plus one review.
