Kevin

“Hi, I’m Kevin and I’ve been teaching since 2005 (just over 20 years) but left the classroom, wanting more work/ life balance. During that time, I taught in roles in London/ East Sussex/ Moscow, Russia and the Netherlands (in private schools) as well as across Leeds more recently. I clocked up 10 years in mainstream primary settings and have been in SEND KS3 for the last 10. Quite lucky really to have had so many opportunities! I now work as a daily tutor with 2 autistic young people (11 and 13 yo) which requires quite a personalised, adapted approach in Maths, English and interest-led learning.


Kevin’s commitment to his students has been recognised with the Professional Tutor Quality Mark, which is designed to highlight those colleagues who demonstrate the highest standard of practice and show dedication to their pupils and schools.

Why does tutoring with Connex suit you?

Working at Connex has already offered me quite a diverse number of students (GCSE English prep; SATs prep and KS3 work) and this variety really suits my skillset and interests.

What are the best parts of your job as a tutor?

I very much enjoy having the freedom to respond to learners and situations individually and to implement what I think will work the best, alongside the input of parents.

What are the young people you tutor like? How are you positively impacting them?

I find that working with YP in a nuanced, relational way has helped one of my students to begin to self-advocate: saying more about what they enjoy learning and what they don’t enjoy and to open up a little about how they feel on a range of subjects.

What does being awarded the Professional Tutor Quality Mark from Connex Tutors mean to you?

The award that Connex Education has kindly given to me is a lovely way to acknowledge the ongoing work and relationship-building that happens in longer term tuition- thank you!

Would you recommend tutoring and Connex Tutors to others?

I’d freely recommend working for Connex Education, where I’ve always been placed quickly with students that match my background and also for the variety, autonomy and 1-2-1 personalised approaches that it allows for tutors!
