About Dr. Peter

I have spent years studying mathematics and teaching it.

My background includes university lecturing, mathematics teaching, research, mathematical modelling, statistics and data science. I use that experience to help students make sense of the mathematics in front of them.

Teaching background

Experience across different levels and courses.

My teaching experience includes university courses in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and data science.

I have also taught secondary mathematics and supported university students taking maths as part of another degree.

What I want from a lesson

The student should leave knowing more than the answer.

A useful lesson should make the next problem less mysterious. I want students to understand what they are doing, spot the structure of a problem and become less dependent on help over time.

  • Patient explanations
  • Work based on the course
  • Strong attention to foundations
  • Reasoning as well as calculation
  • Respect for the student's current level

Not sure whether I cover your course?

Send the course name, code or a short outline. I will look at the mathematics involved and let you know whether I can help.
