Tom Lamb-Maths, Further Maths
Fully Qualified Maths Teacher with QTS
I am a highly experienced Maths teacher and have thorough subject and exam knowledge. I can teach GCSE & Further Maths up to A-level. I am available to teach online via Teams, Zoom & Google Meet and have ample experience online to pupils of varying abilities and backgrounds.
I am particularly adept at helping students with their analytical skills, enabling them to showcase convincing judgements to examiners as well as perfecting their exam structure. I graduated from Durham University with Masters' Degree in Mathematics and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at the same University.
During my school years, I received 12A*s in my GCSE exams, as well as two A*s in maths and further maths at A Level, receiving full UMS in all but one of my final year exams. At Durham I have focused on pure mathematics, studying Algebraic, Topology, Riemannian Geometry, Representation Theory and much more.
In addition I received the John Crowther prize for performance in third year exams. I have experience in teaching GCSE and A-Level maths to students from a variety of backgrounds, this has mainly been on a 1-2-1 basis online. I am a firm believer in problem based learning for maths.
Most of our sessions will involve working through problems together. In addition, I will set weekly homework (not too long, don't worry!) to aid in the learning. I will mark these before the next session and we will discuss any problems together.
In addition, after each session I will produce a short summary of our session, pointing out key facts and problems that the student should be aware of and need to focus on. I am convinced everyone can do well in maths. I hope to instil a confidence in my tutees that maths isn't too bad and that it is certainly doable, hopefully even enjoyable!
