GCSE, A-Level, university and TMUA Mathematics tutor
Thomas provides friendly and approachable Mathematics tuition from GCSE through to undergraduate level. He uses visual models, carefully structured scaffolds and strong subject knowledge to make difficult ideas more accessible.
Thomas has four years of teaching and tutoring experience, supporting learners from GCSE through to undergraduate Mathematics.
He holds a first-class MMath from the University of Warwick and a PhD in Mathematics from Heriot-Watt University. This gives him the subject knowledge needed to answer a broad range of questions and support students studying Mathematics at a high level.
Thomas has experience teaching and tutoring undergraduates, including helping students prepare for university-level Mathematics and develop the skills needed for more advanced study.
He is friendly, approachable and patient. His lessons provide an appropriate balance of challenge and support, with additional structure provided when a student is finding a concept difficult.
Thomas adjusts the level of challenge and structure according to the learner, using visual representations and carefully sequenced explanations.

Difficult problems are divided into manageable stages, giving students enough support to understand the method before working independently.
Diagrams and visual representations are used to make abstract or unfamiliar mathematical ideas clearer and easier to connect.
Lessons provide the right level of challenge while ensuring students receive the guidance needed to continue making progress.
Thomas’s academic background and teaching experience allow him to support learners beyond standard school-level Mathematics.
He can help A-Level and TMUA students develop the reasoning, independence and problem-solving skills needed for demanding questions and future university study.
Undergraduate students can receive support with difficult concepts, mathematical arguments and the transition to the more abstract style of Mathematics taught at university.
“I am particularly good at providing the scaffolds students need to understand tricky concepts, while giving them the right amount of challenge and support.”
