My name is Kathleen Ward-Close and I am a retired maths teacher. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to enjoy maths and do well.
Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I have forty years' experience in teaching maths from the beginning of secondary school to university entrance. For 16 years I was Head of Maths at a successful independent school.
Tutoring Approach
I am a relaxed and friendly tutor. Confidence is enormously important for success in maths so building confidence is a priority for me. In my sessions, students will look at questions set at the right level for them and answer them with my help and encouragement.

Kathy is a gifted tutor who helped my daughter with her A level Maths course. She is very good at explaining concepts, and her friendly, straightfor and down-to-earth manner is much appreciated. Thanks to Kathy, my daughter feels much more confident about her maths ability - something she will carry with her for life.

My son in Year 9 has started having Maths lessons with Kathy since last 1 month. Her lessons are engaging, useful, and she was very patient. She is always encouraging him to try different techniques. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Maths. Thank you Kathy.

Very well organised with good attention to detail, Kathy has built confidence and skills in my son for mathematics. She has a patient, caring approach and is clearly very skilled and experienced. Worksheets are provided in between lessons to build independent work. Very good communication is much appreciated.

Kathy is an excellent tutor and has quickly established a good rapport with our son and helped him with his maths, both in grasping the difficult concepts and in his confidence.
