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

Amanda Braha, Bradford on Avon

Peter is simply an outstanding teacher! Some teachers leave an unforgettable mark on their students and Peter is definitely one of these for us. My daughter, having moved schools many times, was struggling with Maths and Chemistry, so I took her out of school a few months before GCSE's to be taught by Peter - and he really changed her whole attitude towards those subjects. His patient and interesting explanations have inspired her with new confidence and interest, so much so that now she plans to take Chemistry A-level. I can't recommend Peter more highly.
