Is math getting harder than it should be?
Hi, I'm Kelvin — a Mathematics tutor with an MSc in Applied Mathematics, a BSc in Physics, and 14+ years of teaching experience. My mission is to offer affordable, individualised academic support to students who need it. I believe every child can succeed academically with the right resources and support — and sometimes that support is best found outside the classroom.
Whether you or your child is preparing for the SAT, GCSE, IGCSE, IB, AP, A-Level, or university mathematics, catching up on missed concepts, or aiming for higher grades, I can help you turn confusion into understanding, confidence, and measurable progress.
I don't believe mathematics should be about memorizing formulas or following procedures without understanding them. I help students understand why mathematics works, recognize patterns, solve unfamiliar problems, and apply their knowledge with confidence — from Pre-Algebra and Algebra through Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Calculus.
My approach is patient, adaptable, structured, and goal-focused, with every lesson built around the student's level, curriculum, and target outcome.
✨ Why Students & Parents Choose Me
Families choose me because they want more than homework help. They want an experienced teacher who can identify what's holding a student back, explain difficult concepts clearly, and provide a practical path forward.
I help students:
Identify and address important learning gaps
Understand challenging concepts through clear, step-by-step explanations
Build strong mathematical foundations
Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
Improve accuracy and mathematical fluency
Prepare strategically for examinations
Become increasingly independent learners.
Every lesson is personalized around the student's current level, curriculum, learning needs, and target outcome — I adjust the pace, explanations, examples, and support accordingly.
📈 Student Progress & Results
Students I've worked with have achieved results including:
SAT Math score increases of up to 200 points
GCSE students moving from Foundation to Higher Tier and securing Grades 8–9
A-Level students achieving A and A* grades
Successful admission to competitive Engineering, Medicine, Computer Science, Economics, and other STEM programs
Students developing the skills to tackle challenging problems without relying on memorization
For me, success is about more than a higher grade. It means helping students become capable mathematical thinkers who can approach unfamiliar problems with clarity and confidence.
👨🏫 About Me
I've taught students from the UK, US, Canada, Australia, UAE, and beyond, across a wide range of curricula and educational systems. What I love most about teaching math is the moment a concept finally clicks, and a student's face lights up—that "aha" moment is why I do this work.
My teaching experience includes:
SAT, PSAT & ACT Math
GCSE & IGCSE Mathematics
A-Level Mathematics
IB Mathematics — AA & AI, SL & HL
AP Precalculus & AP Calculus — AB & BC
Pre-Algebra & Algebra I/II
Geometry & Trigonometry
Functions & Precalculus
College Algebra
Calculus I & II
🔢 My Teaching Approach
I combine a structured learning process with a flexible, student-centered approach:
1. Review — Revisit previous learning and identify concepts that need reinforcement.
2. Explain — Break new concepts into clear, logical steps using visual representations and carefully selected examples.
3. Check Understanding — Use targeted questions to uncover misconceptions and confirm genuine understanding.
4. Practise — Work through carefully selected problems with guidance, gradually building greater independence.
5. Apply — Tackle exam-style and unfamiliar problems to develop flexible problem-solving skills.
6. Review & Plan — Assess what has been mastered, address remaining difficulties, and establish the next priorities.
