I have known Nathan Keeling for 22 years of my own 47 years in teaching, senior examining, and advisory work. We have worked together on numerous occasions in different schools, both as mathematics teachers and latterly with myself as a Mathematics Adviser to Nathan's schools. Nathan has most recently produced some outstanding materials for me to use in my regional online University Outreach programmes.
Nathan is an examiner for GCSE Mathematics and Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths. He is a former Assistant Principal; Head of Mathematics and IT - with experience in Curriculum Design and Assessment for Mathematics for pupils at all stages and ages. He's taught KS2 (Y3-6); KS3 and prepared pupils for SATs; taught and prepared pupils for GCSE Maths; GCSE Stats; AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths; Entry Level Maths; Functional Skills Maths; AS/A-Level Maths; AS/A-Level Further Maths. An outstanding and highly original question developer and writer, he is a great asset to any team.
You are the best teacher I have ever known!
Nathan is approachable, non-judgemental and very much a people person. His students speak highly of him and consider him the essential reason for their successes. His input is pivotal in enabling students to not only succeed but to understand and master the mathematical theory and practice required for a life long positive relationship with maths in all contexts.
To Mr Keeling, Thank you for making Maths more interesting
Your maths lessons are so fun. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a maths lesson so much. Thanks!
Thank you for breaking down maths and always be willing to go over anything again. You give me a lot of confidence for my GCSEs and ambition to revise! Thank you
I can't thank you enough for all the work you put in to make sure I passed my Maths! I will never EVER forget that day! (Results Day)
You are actually pretty amazing at explaining concepts and problems...
Thank you for not letting me give up in Maths !
I wouldn't even dream of doing Maths in college if you hadn't taught me so thank you again :-)
I wouldn't be where I am in Maths without you and sorry for always ranting and getting annoyed because Maths is hard, but I'm going to miss your lessons.
Thanks for putting up with us in your lessons and always being a teacher we could come to if we had a problem and being someone that made us laugh. Helping us both achieve 6's in our Maths! Thank you for being our favourite teacher and making maths a fun and enjoyable lesson.
Thank you for continued help and support and SEN collaboration

Thank you for showing me I can be confident in my abilities. Most importantly I want to thank you for believing in me when I had doubts.
You have always inspired me so much!! To the point I am picking A Level Maths because I started loving it after having an amazing and motivating teacher like you.
