About the Tutor:

After completing degrees in science and education at UQ, Kevin began teaching physics and mathematics and spent 30 years as head of mathematics at Wynnum North. Looking for a change of scenery on retiring and having enjoyed Latin at school, he joined an Italian class at U3A and in 2005, began taking his own classes. Until middle age he was a keen sportsman, playing grade cricket as well as squash and tennis fixtures. These days he keeps active through the gym and a heavy involvement in folk and square dancing.

Unfortunately this class is over-subscribed and no further enrolments can be accepted at this time. You may contact the tutor to express your interest should a vacancy arise.
