Profile
Andrea
Mathematics
A First-Class King’s College London Mathematics graduate with a PhD from the London School of Geometry and Number Theory, Dr Andrea makes hard mathematical ideas accessible and elegant.
Andrea graduated with a First in Mathematics from King’s College London, took Part III Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and completed a PhD at the London School of Geometry and Number Theory.
Andrea has tutored mathematics since 2013, from GCSE and A-level to undergraduate pure mathematics. He taught GCSE and A-level students at the King’s College London Mathematics School, gave tutorials to first- and second-year undergraduates, and worked as a Teaching Assistant at King’s in complex analysis, topology, analysis and multivariate calculus.
Andrea finds mathematics intriguing and beautiful, and spends much of his preparation working out how to make it accessible, choosing the clearest informal language and most elegant examples. He introduces the main ideas behind a theorem first, then works through the details, prompting students to ask why each step and assumption is needed. He asks simple questions throughout, which builds confidence and shows him where to focus.
