About Dr Laurence Mayther
Hi there! My name is Laurence and I am a freelance mathematics tutor (or "supervisor") at the University of Cambridge, as well as an Independent Mathematics Researcher.
MY EXPERIENCE
- I have over 1000hrs experience of one-to-one/small group teaching at Cambridge University, teaching both Undergraduate and Master's Students. In addition, I have privately tutored students at levels ranging from Primary through to A-Level.
- Within Cambridge, I am well-known for being "able to teach anything": with expertise in a wide range of mathematical topics (spanning Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and even Computation) I am uniquely placed to help students draw connections between seemingly disparate ideas and thus develop a deeper, more profound, understanding of mathematics as a whole.
MY QUALIFICATIONS
I studied mathematics at Cambridge University, obtaining a Triple First in my Undergraduate Degree and a High Distinction in my Master's. In 2024 I was awarded a PhD, officially becoming a 'Dr'.
Before going to university, I took A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Additional Further Maths and Physics, obtaining A*'s in all four subjects. I also sat the Advanced Extension Award (AEA) in Mathematics, obtaining the highest grade (Distinction) here too.
In addition to this, I was a regular participant (and Gold Medallist) in UKMT Mathematics Challenges. In 2015, I trained with the national team while they were preparing to represent the UK in the International Mathematics Competition (IMO).
WHY I TEACH
Because I love it! One of my greatest joys is helping students to master ideas which they once found challenging and enabling them to gain ownership over their mathematics, so that they can become confident and enthusiastic mathematicians.

Mathematics is (or, at least, it should be!) one of the most beautiful and rewarding subjects that there is. However, too often it is taught to students in way which is confusing, unhelpful or just downright wrong, something which undermines students' confidence in their own abilities and prevents them from fully appreciating the beauty of this subject.
In my lessons, I will not just introduce you to new concepts/ideas, but I will help you to understand why they are true, on the deepest level available to you (wherever you are on your mathematical journey). In the process, you will realise that maths is, as a whole, far simpler and more elegant than you ever imagined and before long, you will find yourself drawing connections and solving problems in a way you never thought possible!

Highly recommend Dr Laurence Mayther! Every session was productive and intriguing and I could ask questions comfortably to ensure everything made sense. The detailed notes sent along with every session were especially useful in revising key concepts we covered and aiding my school work massively. Very happy with his teaching!!
I couldn't forget the Differential Geometry supervisions I had at Uni from Laurence at Cambridge. They were honestly amongst the best I had in my undergrad. It was a hard course, but Laurence gave a crystal clear and beautiful presentation. He is particularly good at explaining deep concepts with concrete examples and drawing diagrams. I also remember him showing us connections between seemingly unrelated areas of maths (curvature, topology, and complex geometry). Few Cambridge supervisors are able to do this. I also couldn't forget that whenever there was a complicated homework problem, he could always write down only two or three lines to solve it, making it extremely easy for us to grasp.
Continuing my journey as a maths PhD, I felt lucky to have been taught by Laurence.Laurence was my tutor/supervisor for several courses during my undergraduate degree at Cambridge. I can safely say he was the best tutor I had in my time there. He was very good at adjusting the level of his explanations based on how well I understood the material, giving more or less detail depending on how well I indicated I understood the area. His explanations are clear, and if there was any step I didn't understand he would gladly explain it in more detail, in a way I could understand.
At the micro level, he was good at catching the small misunderstandings I had or nuances that I wouldn't catch. But also at the macro level, because of his breadth of knowledge he is very good at providing intuition for why some things are true and why we care about them.
Overall, he's a really great tutor. As opposed to others who would simply write down the answer to the question and expect you to understand, Laurence really makes sure you're following along and understanding. I fully recommend him.View more recommendations
