About Nicholas
I’m a mathematician based in West Central Scotland. After completing a master’s degree in maths at St Andrews, I took a doctorate from Oxford and, while there, held various teaching positions. Following this I was a research mathematician at various universities in the UK, France and Germany. Throughout this time I continued to tutor privately as it’s something I greatly enjoy and I now have over 15 years of experience. My research was at the intersection of algebra and geometry and I still use the connection between these fields as a guiding principle in my understanding and teaching. My wish to tutor in general, in both maths and physics, is informed by this long-standing love of and engagement with maths and the exact sciences. I derive much joy from sharing this with others in their goal of gaining a better and deeper understanding. The moment a tutee achieves clarity at a previously confusing idea or technique is the most edifying aspect of this work for me.

I have over 15 years of experience tutoring maths at National 1-5, Higher and Advanced Higher level, GCSE, AS and A-level, and at undergraduate and master's university level. I have similarly extensive experience in physics tuition at National 5 and GCSE level. I've also been a teaching assistant and college tutor for several undergraduate maths courses, across a number of topics in algebra, analysis, and topology, and at all levels, at Oxford. In addition to this teaching experience, I have also assisted in giving undergraduate admissions interviews in maths at Oriel College, Oxford, and so would be able to help students wishing to apply to Oxford in the nature and content of undergraduate maths interviews.
My approach in tutoring is oriented around the student: their expectations, background knowledge and way of thinking; and what they see as most important to focus on, be it a particular part of maths or physics, or a certain type of problem. While it is useful and necessary for students to be familiar with certain recipes and templates for solving different types of problems, ideally, the aim is to give them a deeper understanding of the ideas behind the material they learn and the problems they are set. This provides a much firmer basis for an appreciation of both maths and physics and greater problem-solving ability.
