I read Mathematics at Corpus Christi College, graduating with an MMath in 2011. I've been tutoring since my own sixth form days, with sixteen years of experience. I have learned what works and what doesn't, and I prefer to keep things simple.
My first student was a classmate who asked me for one-to-one tuition in A-level Maths in 2005, in return for free food at his dad's restaurant (I still think barter is a fine way to pay for tuition). Soon afterwards I received a scholarship to study mathematics at Oxford, and continued tutoring in my spare time. I have since worked for several of the major London-based players in the education sector, including Bonas MacFarlane, Oxbridge Applications (now Dukes Education), Bright Young Things, and Riviera Tutors.
With a decade and a half of experience under my belt, I'd like to think I know a thing or two about passing on knowledge quickly. And despite the neutral passport photo look, I am actually quite friendly, as my students will attest! For 'CV stuff', feel free to read on.

The name and logo
The Greek letter iota ɩ is the ninth letter of the alphabet. It is usually used to mean a small amount as in the English phrase 'not one iota'. It is also used to express the imaginary unit, the square root of minus one: the foundation of complex numbers.
