Edward read Mathematics at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, graduating with a First-Class MA and an MMath with Distinction, and was a Senior Scholar. Before Cambridge he attended Aiglon College in Switzerland, and he grew up between England and Switzerland, with spells in Asia and Africa as a child.
Edward began helping other students while still at school and has tutored for around 15 years, mostly in Maths and Physics from 13+ and Common Entrance up to university level. He worked at OC&C Strategy Consultants in London, where he ran business and technical skills training for groups and individuals, taught colleagues Excel, programming and SQL, and wrote some of the training courses. He went on to co-found Wentworth Tutors, and has prepared students for strategy consultancy interviews at internship, graduate and experienced-hire level.
One of Edward’s favourite ways to check real understanding is to ask students to teach a topic back, whether to a parent, a friend or to him. When preparing students for exams or interviews, he first gets them to ask what the examiner or interviewer wants them to demonstrate, an approach that works as well for a consulting case study as for a GCSE French essay.
