Peter Halfpenny - Maths Tutor and Science Tutor

Retirement

In early 2024 I reached retirement age but have continued working for a little longer to see my existing students through to their GCSE or A level exams. For many of us, reaching retirement age doesn’t necessarily mean stopping working and at the moment, I am undecided whether I will be continuing with tuition work in the future or not. What I have decided, though, is that I’m going to take a break for the next year at least. I’ll review things next summer (2025).

Parents' comments

Jenny Thomson, Bradford on Avon

"Please do not think twice about seeking help from Pete for any student who needs that extra support on the maths or science front. With one of our teenagers with a complete lack of belief in his ability in Maths and predicted to fail to attain that all important C grade, and another with a passion for Science but a lack of progress in school with the maths skills to support her, we turned to Pete for support and guidance. His amazingly patient and gentle approach empowered and equipped both to achieve what they had come to believe was beyond them on the GCSE front! More importantly, what better recommendation can there be than a student who absolutely relished her tutorial time and has taken her skills, together with the strategies she developed, forward into the further study of science."
