Qualifications:

For my A-levels, I studied at King's College London Mathematics School, the top sixth form in the UK for mathematical education, where I achieved A*s in both A-level Maths and Further Maths. I also achieved a grade 9 in GCSE Maths. I am currently studying Data Science at The University of Warwick. My course covers a wide range of different mathematical areas, focusing on:
- Calculus (sums and integrals)
- Linear algebra (vectors and matrices)
- Statistics (probabilities, combinatorics, and distributions)
- Computer science (programming and algorithms)

I have over 100 hours of experience tutoring neighbors and family friends, and I have plenty of resources available for any topic that we may need to cover.

Subjects:

I can teach any topics from Maths or Further Maths at both GCSE and A-level. I am also more than happy to help with math-related content in GCSE Physics, Biology, Computer Science, and Economics problems that the student may have. If the student is struggling with any of the following topics, then I can provide clear explanations and revision support:

I have found, from both personal experience and working with other students, that the best way to learn is not to hear somebody else explain but to feel like you figured it out yourself. That is why I always try to ask thought-provoking questions and give clues as to what the correct answer/method could be, rather than just saying it straight away. As a student, I know this can be quite frustrating, but it is the best way to learn! Read less
