Information about Edward

I recently graduated with a PhD in mathematics from Warwick University, having completed my Masters in Mathematics (MMath) there previously.

As a student, you can expect me to focus on the areas you need most help with first. We`ll start with easier problems and gradually work up to harder ones. I`ll encourage you to talk aloud and sketch your ideas down as you work through problems. If at any point you`re struggling, we`ll return to basic ideas if needed and build up from there. I very much encourage asking questions at any time.

My focus is on helping students understand mathematical concepts at a fundamental level with the help of examples before applying the concepts to further problems. I believe that deep understanding of concepts and building a strong foundation is more important than rote memorization and repetitive application of algorithms and procedures. I also like to draw connections from different areas of maths to help cement understanding and bring the subject to life. As such, my approach differs from the approach typically used in a classroom setting with more emphasis on deeper understanding, especially of functions, sets, proofs and definitions, tailored to the student`s level. Equipped with such understanding, the procedural techniques should come quite naturally and intuitively.

Availability: Currently only available online, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8pm.

Note: Extra charges up to 20% may apply if I`m required to travel.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I have experience teaching a group of five first year undergraduate students while I was in my final year as an undergraduate. This included setting and marking assignment questions. More recently I have tutored over 20 students in mathematics both in small groups and one-to-one, from Key Stage 3 (Year 9) to A-Level (Year 13).
