Kenneth Clarkson
Founder & Lead Mathematics Tutor
Many of New Zealand's top schools stream their strongest maths students into Cambridge — from Macleans College and Auckland Grammar through to schools right across the country. I help those students through the 9709 pathway online, wherever their school sits them.
Where is your child up to?
From IGCSE foundations through AS to the full A Level — every lesson is built around the stage and the 9709 papers your child is actually sitting.
The foundation of the Cambridge pathway (Core or Extended). We build the algebra and problem-solving that AS Level takes for granted.
Best for: A solid launchpad into AS Level
Pure Mathematics 1 (P1) and Probability & Statistics 1 (S1) — the core of the AS year, with a strong focus on exam technique.
Best for: The first half of the full A Level (9709)
Building on AS with Pure Mathematics 3 (P3) and Probability & Statistics 2 (S2), with the Mechanics option available.
Best for: University entry, recognised worldwide
The 9709 papers and exam technique
Cambridge is modular and precise about how marks are awarded. This is where knowing the papers and the mark scheme makes the difference.
The 9709 papers, decoded
Cambridge A Level maths (9709) is modular — Pure, Statistics and Mechanics, each with its own paper. We work through the specific papers your child is sitting, so the structure and style are never a surprise.
Exam technique that wins marks
Cambridge examiners reward clearly-shown method as much as the final answer. We practise setting out full working, using the mark scheme's language, and managing time across the paper.
IGCSE → AS → A Level, joined up
The Cambridge pathway builds on itself. We make sure each stage lays the right foundation for the next, so there are no cracks when the content steps up.
How it works
Simple, low-pressure, and built around your child.
Check you're set up
Lessons need a laptop, a tablet and stylus, and a reliable internet connection — so your child can handwrite maths naturally, right alongside me.
Get in touch
Tell me about your child through the Get Started form. Your first lesson is risk-free — if it's not the right fit, there's no charge.
A plan, then weekly lessons
I find their current level and set a plan, then we meet weekly online on an interactive whiteboard — with homework each lesson to lock it in.
Ongoing progress
Lessons run weekly through the term. You stay in the loop on how they're tracking, and we adapt as their confidence grows.

Kenneth Clarkson
My goal isn't just to get your child through the next test — it's to build strong foundations that set them up for the long term. I teach for understanding over memorising, keep lessons calm and encouraging, and tailor each student's path toward wherever they're heading, whether that's NCEA, Cambridge, IB, or beyond.
Sarah J.
I love helping students build genuine confidence with maths — breaking big ideas into clear, manageable steps until they click. I keep lessons supportive, patient, and focused on real understanding.
What families say
“We really appreciate the positive impact Kenneth has had on our son. Michael often tells us how much he enjoys Kenneth's lessons, and they've made a real difference to his confidence and understanding in maths. Thank you, Kenneth, for being such a wonderful teacher.”
