About Kate
I am a professional dancer who also has a passion for maths and the science subjects. I have just completed an MSc in Theoretical Physics from Edinburgh University, having previously studied a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics from the Open University.
I have extensive experience teaching, mainly in classical ballet, and many of the methods I use can be transferred directly to the scientific subjects.I am particularly skilled at conveying complex matter in a simple and manageable way. I believe every student has the capacity for understanding in all subjects, and one of my main objectives as a tutor is to incite an interest in the student I'm teaching. I am extremely diligent and put a lot of effort in lesson planning to meet the needs of the individual student.
I look forward to hearing from you!

I provide online AS and A level maths tuition for all exam boards. I offer clear explanations of theory and show worked examples, supervising the student as they practice questions themselves to ensure a full understanding. I adjust materials based on each individual students needs, and focus areas of the syllabus that each student requests; whether that's strengthening topics which feel challenging, or offering advanced questions for topics which the student wants to excel at.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Kate.
Perfect! Very helpful and organised
- Kate's response :Lulu lesson 1
- General factorising and multiplying out brackets.
- Worked on factorising quadratic equations (with a=1).
- Briefly went through power laws
- Lulu seemed comfortable and familiar with the material covered, and showed a good underlying understanding of algebraic methods. Factorising quadratics was a newer method but she picked it up quickly
Lesson 2
- Worked on equation of the line; specifically rearranging equations to find the gradient. Worked with parallel lines, and finding the equation of the line when given a point and a parallel line. Explored both graphical and algebraic methods.
- Mostly the material was revision from last year, and once given some prompts Lulu remembered the material. Once given an example, she was able to successfully attempt the newer material well. Homework on the same topic was given.
Perfect! My son very much enjoyed his lesson! Kate explains well and is methodical.
Perfect! Competent, knowledgeable and proficient. Fantastic!
Good! Dissatisfied
Kate could be a good teacher but I was very disappointed as she wasn’t teaching my daughter consistently. She came a few times and then we never saw her again. I contacted her in many occasions but she never took the time to contact me back. With my experience with Kate I wouldn’t recommend her to others.
Subject : Maths
Outcome : Negative outcome- Kate's response :Hi Carol,
My sincerest apologies that this was your experience. I did explain at the time that I was returning to Dublin, after which I never received contact from you. Did you send a message through this site? Generally their system works well, so its worth letting them know if your messages didn't go through. Hope Michelle is doing well, Kate

I cofounded the Debbie Allen Dance Summer School with Kate back in 2012, and it has been a growing business every year since then. Kate is reliable, intelligent and always well prepared for the classes she teaches. She works brilliantly with young people, especially teenagers.
Very reliable. Good at explaining things clearly. Patient. Creative. Inspirational.
I needed maths tuition for my entrance exams to business school. Kate was brilliant at explaining the more complicated questions and I count my success of the application down to her. She was always polite, professional and punctual.
Kate was such an amazing tutor, she gave me such helpful tips and was able to explain problems and solutions to me clearly and simply which really helped me understand them better, I gained confidence in myself and achieved the A I was looking for and now I have been accepted into an MA, couldn't recommend her enough
Kate has organised and taught a Dance summer course. She is an excellent teacher, patient and has an ability to teach in a simple and effective way.
