I have recently completed my PhD in Mathematics at Swansea University and now work as a mathematician in the gaming industry. I am mostly interested in pure maths (commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and combinatorics in particular), but I am happy to tutor A level statistics and mechanics, or statistics for social sciences.

I reаlly enjоy bоth mаths аnd teаching, аnd I've been tutoring for over ten years now. I hope to inspire others to see as much beauty in the subject as I do (as well as pass their exams!)

Tutoring Experience

I have around ten years of experience tutoring both one-on-one and in small groups. I've tutored in person and online via Skype and Zoom.

Tutoring Approach

My approach varies depending on each student's individual needs. A typical first lesson usually involves some assessment questions and a discussion about what areas you'd like to focus on. Moving forwards, we usually decide on a topic in advance and I will provide worksheets and some examples to go over where needed. I think maths is best taught with some context, so I like to emphasise the connections between different topics, as well as some of the historical context of how the subject developed.
