I'm a top Cambridge maths graduate and computer science PhD, ex-Google, Microsoft and NASA, offering online maths tuition for A-level and Oxbridge-entrance, as well as GCSE for students aiming for a high grade in order to do STEM A-levels. I went to King's College, Cambridge, on an open scholarship, and got a top first in maths, coming third in my year out of several hundred maths students across the whole university. I then switched to computer science for my postgraduate work, gaining a diploma with distinction and a PhD a few years later. After that, I spent 35 years in the tech industry, doing a mixture of research and software engineering. I worked on problems as varied as speech and language processing, genomics, online advertising and medical image analysis. Among many other publications I have a joint-first-author paper in Nature, one of the world's top scientific journals. All this was great fun, but I always longed to do a lot more teaching than I had the opportunity for, and to return to mathematics itself rather than just using it when necessary for writing code. So that's what I've been doing since late 2021. I live in Malvern, Worcestershire, with my wife and teenage son. |
