Reviews from others
Patrick is a wonderful and knowledgeable tutor who has helped me achieve my best mark in mathematics.
— Mike
He never fails to repeat anything I do not understand and provides multiple solutions to problem solving.
— Chelsea
He is patient, explains thoroughly and ensures that you understand before moving on. Liked the fact that he gives sufficient amount of homework after each lesson and goes through corrections with you.

Patrick Kosongo took the time to get to know how Jon Robbie processed the information. Taking a unique approach with a student is key because they know you get them. A rapport developed. Patrick was encouraging and saw where our son’s frustrations existed and has been building on that knowledge base to help him tackle difficult subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Pre-Calc. Our son is hard on himself and very determined. Patrick identified this and helped to redirect his energy into understanding the foundation. Jon Robbie is now feeling the zone better with positivity from what he has learned.

A key mark of a good tutor is one that is able to breakdown complex concepts and explain them. Patrick did that very well. He was also very flexible and willing to adjust his approach to my teaching preference - really one of the best tutors I have had. He played a major role in my passing this exam.

Patrick has been patient with me and has helped me get back up to speed after being out of school for a long time. he always puts in an extra effort to make sure i am up to date with my maths. I cant see myself passing my assignments or tests without his help thank you
