About Ben

I studied Mathematics up to Master’s level at the University of Oxford, graduating in 2017, and I am now studying for a PhD in pure mathematics at the Open University, specialising in combinatorics. During my time at Oxford I specialised in Pure Mathematics, particularly number theory, which I completed a thesis on in my Master’s year. Outside the classroom, I spent my time in Oxford working for the university’s undergraduate mathematics journal, to which I contributed expository papers. After graduating I moved into teaching, starting out as a teacher in London before undertaking a PGCE in Wales and then moving to Oxford to teach at Magdalen College School. At MCS I was responsible both for A Level teaching - teaching Single and Further Maths to sixth-form classes - as well as KS3 classes. I was also involved in the 11+ entrance process for MCS, for example in marking exam papers. I loved the challenge of teaching in the highly academic environment of the school and I look forward to tutoring students who enjoy pushing themselves to an equally high standard.

My philosophy for tutoring is based around imparting a love of the subject and a focus on developing real understanding. I am never satisfied in teaching by rote, preferring instead to instil a true appreciation of the subject through careful motivation and problem-based learning. I am a veteran problem-solver, and I love using challenging, interesting, and often even open, problems to motivate the material that I teach. I have coached students preparing for Maths Challenges and Olympiad competitions, as well as for the Oxford and Cambridge Mathematics entrance exams – I love the depth and variety of the problems these contain, and I believe that they can be used to help students at a wide range of levels develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for Mathematics
