Experience :

Ken has a Kindle, an electronic book (e-book) sold by Amazon.com for about £200. He is willing to demonstrate this e-book to parents and/or students if you think that it will encourage the pupil to read more (whether or not the student is being tutored by Ken). Believe it or not, he's not on commission with Amazon. Click here to read more.

Thank you for all your help and advice

There is no doubt in my mind that I would not have achieved my B in Maths had it not been for the tutoring I received - Michael Chisholm

Ken boosted my confidence and taught me topics I found difficult at school. He gave me excellent hints for sitting Highers. I wish I had been tutored sooner as his teaching is easy to follow - Andrew

Matthew was positive about Maths for the first time in his life and seemed to enjoy and respond to the lessons. Practical advice given to me as a parent, including seemingly simple advice on times tables, was effective. Very professional and trustworthy. It's a shame we never managed to bump grades to a 4, but I am sure that is because Matthew had so few lessons

Joseph has always been happy to go to his extra tutoring sessions which is a huge plus. Good liaison between Ken & myself as a parent. I have every confidence in Ken's abilities as tutor - used Ken's services with my older son & will ask him to help out next year too

- Dr Young, parent

I thought I wouldn't pass, but with your help I did. You're a great tutor and thanks for the help - Chris McQueen

Thank you very much for helping Kirsten attain this level. You boosted her confidence and she is delighted with her A - Glynis Rodier

I would just like to thank you very much for helping me pass my Higher English. Going from a Band 9 fail to a C was a great achievement and I very much doubt I would have managed it without you. Although it was not the B you had hoped for, I was happy with my C. Thank you very much again! - Hayley Forson

The tutoring was very useful and helped me a great deal in both Maths and English - Robert Gibbs

Craig Thompson

Excellent at focusing and improving on my weakest areas. Provided a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I believe I would not have passed the final exam without his efforts and I am extremely grateful -  Ross King

We are very pleased with Joe's results in English & Maths. It represents a huge turnaround in a short space of time. We have already discussed using your tutoring again when the school year starts and will be in touch in a few weeks time - Glyn Mountford

Thanks for the help. Tutoring effective and relevant to the specifics of the course. Especially helpful was practical help with essay questions - Joanne Smith

Really appreciated all the help you gave Jack. It restored his confidence to obtain his grade - Mrs Freeland
