I have a Masters degree in Maths and Quantum Physics from Trinity College, Cambridge University and passed with Honours. My undergraduate degree, in Pure and Applied Mathematics was also completed at Trinity College, Cambridge University. I graduated with a 2.1.

In addition to my Mathematics A-Levels, I also completed the STEP examinations and obtained 1, one grade below the one highest possible. I also obtained A's in A-Level Maths and Further Maths.

I have a CRB certificate from last year. I have applied for and expect a new certificate (for 2010/11) soon.

I believe that true teaching extends beyond rote learning of facts and algorithms. In my lessons, I also try to provide my pupils with the deeper understanding and thought processes required to be able to construct these algorithms for themselves. I try to stimulate their interest in the subject, and constantly relate the topic to uses in the real world and career prospects in the subject area.

I take great pains to make my lessons as interactive and enjoyable as possible. I believe that it is vital to maintain the student's interests if he or she is to learn with any degree of satisfaction. Above all, I believe that learning is an organic process, and that one only flourishes at it, if one is given the necessary time, care and dedication.

Experience: I am a fully qualified teacher with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and have experience teaching 11 to 16 year olds in inner city London schools. In addition to this, I have taught extensively to A-Level and undergraduate students. The year 9 classes I taught achieved on average a full two grades higher in their SATs than they would have been expected to achieve, given the results of their year 6 SATs.

I set up a Maths club in one of the schools I taught at. This was entirely voluntary, but very well-attended.
