Helping GCSE Students Turn Maths Frustration Into Grade 6–9 Success

My son needed a bit of extra focus on Maths to be sure to secure an A in his approaching Maths and Chemistry GCSE, so we contacted Kenny — who responded immediately (unlike the other tutor we also tried, who took 3 weeks to respond). It was very soon clear that Kenny was a good investment: he was able to help out on all sciences too, so we committed to 10 weeks and swapped the subjects by week as was needed. What really made the difference was his help around exam technique and his invaluable support between sessions — links to past papers and feedback on school papers to work on. My son says he was definitely more confident on his papers as a result of Kenny's help, and managed to answer a whole section in his maths paper that he wouldn't have been able to do at all if it hadn't been for his work with Kenny. Lawrence got an A in his Maths and Chemistry retake! We'd definitely use Kenny again.

When I came to Kenny, I was predicted a grade 3 in my GCSE Maths and Triple Science. I actually didn't like mathematics but my ambition is to be a sport nutritionist and a coach — which was my main goal — but I needed to pass my GCSE Maths to have a chance to pursue my career. My first meeting with Kenny showed me his friendly and motivational approach to teaching maths, and made the science a lot easier to understand — especially the exam techniques. He made maths look so easy and fun! He also helped me a lot in my science, taught me examination techniques and study programmes. After 6 months of coaching from Kenny, I was confident that I would pass my exams. I remember him telling me I could surprise myself… I got a grade 8 in my Maths and a grade 9 in my Science exams! Thank you, Kenny, for everything! I will never forget my experience with you! I recommend Kenny to anyone who really wants to succeed in their maths or science exams — he is a genuine and nice person!

After a series of poor results in my son's SAT exams — with reports from several tutors who advised that they couldn't help him — I was lucky to find Kenny, who was very positive in helping my son. He worked with my son and helped him not only to improve his maths skills, but also supported him to pass the 11+ examinations for both Kent and Bexley — which we're very excited about.

Our son moved from a Grade 5 to a Grade 8 in less than a year with Mr Kenny. The weekly plans and clear feedback were the game-changer for us.

The diagnostic pinpointed exactly which topics were pulling my daughter’s marks down. Six months of steady practice and her mocks jumped two grades.

Mr Kenny is patient, personable and knows the specification inside out. My son actually looks forward to his maths lessons now.
