Kysanne Lewis

I’m Kysanne, a Mathematics tutor with 16+ years of teaching experience and a Bachelor’s degree with Honours in Mathematics and Accounting.

Since beginning my tutoring career in 2010, I have worked with students across different ages, abilities, and educational systems, including students from the Caribbean, the US, and the UK. I have also owned and operated a successful maths tuition business, where much of my student base grew through word-of-mouth referrals.

My goal is simple: to help students understand maths, build confidence, and become independent learners.

I believe that students often struggle with mathematics not because they "can't do maths," but because there are gaps in their understanding of the fundamentals. That's why I take a foundation-first approach, identifying areas that need strengthening before moving on to more advanced concepts.

During our lessons, I don't simply give students the answers. I guide them through the thinking process, asking questions and helping them develop the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills they need to tackle unfamiliar problems independently.

Whether your child needs help catching up, strengthening their mathematical foundation, preparing for exams, or simply becoming more confident in maths, I aim to make each lesson clear, engaging, and supportive.

My teaching style is personalized, encouraging, and focused more on understanding than memorization.

I tailor each lesson to the student's level, learning needs, personality, and goals, incorporating clear explanations, guided practice, visual examples, and interactive resources where appropriate. 

A typical lesson may involve:

• Identifying and addressing gaps in understanding
• Breaking difficult concepts into manageable steps
• Working through examples together
• Guided practice, with increasing independence
• Problem-solving and critical-thinking activities
• Reviewing previous concepts to strengthen retention

My aim is for students to leave each lesson not only knowing how to solve a particular problem, but understanding why the method works and feeling more confident about tackling the next one independently.
