I am a maths/statistics tutor and data engineer with over ten years of teaching experience.

Academic background:
- Sussex University - PhD Hirschfeld scholar; pass with minor corrections
- Sussex University - 1st class honours MMath degree

I've spent the past 5.5 years in industry working in the data tech industry. I apply maths and technical skills to solve data engineering problems, as well as conduct technical training work alongside for work colleagues. I work closely with data engineering technologies like Python and SQL.

The main subjects I teach are:
- Maths and statistics KS3 to university level
- Computer science KS3 and GCSE
- Python and SQL coding
- Data science and data engineering skills
- Maths entrance exams and competitions

Tutoring Approach

Lessons are delivered in 50 minute batches. They consist of breaking down complex theoretical concepts into simplified components followed by examples and exam problems to solidify understanding of the topic. I encourage the student to explore the concepts themselves with me prompting them rather than just writing out a formulae. I focus on sharing deep mathematical insights with my student. This is a skill I refined as a PhD student. I aim to make lessons interactive and goal-oriented. I combine this with reinforcing their knowledge of theoretical concepts throughout the lesson.
