George

Hi I`m George. I`m a mathematician with a first class MMath degree from the University of Warwick. My A level grades are A*A*A (Mathematics, Further Maths, Physics). I left Upton-High in 2012. Let`s do some maths together!

I work as an actuarial consultant with clients in the banking and insurance industries, and I use maths to find out what will happen in the stock market.

Day to day, I write computer code in a variety of different languages, and communicate maths to my colleagues in a multidisciplinary team, as well as answer client queries.

A levels:
A* Mathematics (594/600)
A* Further Mathematics
A Physics
a Chemistry (AS)
STEP I - Grade 1

Outside of work/mathematics I am a keen long distance runner. My favourite distance is probably 5000m.

Availability: Flexible

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: At Warwick University, I taught students in the final two years of my degree. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was nice to see my students go from being beginners to university maths to getting good marks in their exams.
I taught small classes of first year students on the Analysis I module for 1 year.
I also taught two supervision groups on the MMORSE degree in Analysis I & II, Foundations, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra and Geometry and Motion courses in my Masters year. My job was to mark their assignments and give them constructive feedback and a framework for approaching the problems they were set, as well as teaching them how to think like a mathematician. I also prepared example questions and presented them to my students to test their understanding.

One of the students I taught was initially struggling but I helped to motivate him, and he achieve a first. Another of my students achieved a top grade in his year.

I have since tutored privately and one of my students recently achieved A*A* grades in Mathematics and Further Mathematics A levels. My students have given me great feedback on my enthusiasm, knowledge and interest in helping them.
