Brendan

I was born in 1954 and retired in 2014 from a 30 year career in IT. I have a B.Sc and Ph.D in Chemistry and A-level Maths.

Tutoring Experience

I began Maths GCSE tuition in the 2014/15 academic year and as of August 2022 I have since tutored students from all years from Year 6 through Year 11, and have also tutored adult students to pass Maths Functional Skills Level 1and 2 and GCSE. Since 2018 I have also tutored Combined Science GCSE and A-level Maths and Chemistry.

Tutoring Approach

I have a caring and supportive nature and my approach to one-to-one tuition will be to encourage a relaxed atmosphere in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they may have with the course content. In the run-up to examinations I will also place an emphasis on how to maximise exam marks. I am happy to travel up to 15 miles (as the crow flies) to the student's home - longer distances by negotiation.
