ParentESL EnglishWe found Kenan for our son because we wanted him to practise his English more regularly. He is quite a shy boy and would usually become very quiet when he had to speak English. Kenan has been wonderful with him. They have lessons every Saturday, but it feels much more like a conversation than a formal English class. They talk about soccer and other things our son is interested in, and Kenan uses these conversations to get him speaking and practising naturally. The change in his confidence has been lovely to see. He now talks much more freely in English and actually looks forward to his Saturday lessons.

ParentMathematics and EnglishKenan has been teaching our son Mathematics and English and we couldn't be happier with him. Kenan has a very relaxed way with children but still keeps him focused and makes sure the work gets done. We've noticed that our son is much more confident with both subjects and doesn't complain about lessons anymore, which, as a parent, says a lot! He has built a really good relationship with him and looks forward to their sessions each week.

ParentNatural SciencesWe have been working with Kenan every week with our daughter for Natural Sciences, and we have been very happy with the progress. She had some gaps in her understanding after moving from the CAPS curriculum to Cambridge, so Kenan spent time going back over the areas she had missed while also helping her adjust to the new style of questions. She has become much more confident with the Cambridge work and, most importantly, she really enjoys her lessons with him. He is patient, encouraging and very good at keeping her engaged.
