A First-Class Bath Mathematics graduate who went on to study Computing at Imperial, Laura shares her love of how beautifully mathematics fits together, patiently explaining every detail.
Laura graduated with First-Class Honours in Mathematics from the University of Bath and went on to an MSc in Computing at Imperial College London. She completed the IB Diploma with Higher Level Maths, scoring 40 points and an A for her Extended Essay in Mathematics.
At Bath, Laura tutored a weekly algebra class for first-year students, explaining common errors, covering key lecture topics, marking homework and advising on how to succeed in maths. A senior lecturer praised her way of communicating mathematics after observing a class. She also worked as a drop-in tutor at the university’s Mathematics and Statistics Help Centre, covering all ten first-year modules.
Laura is patient and puts herself in the student’s shoes, remembering how she first made sense of new ideas. She uses drawings, diagrams, summaries and analogies, explains every detail so nothing is left to cause confusion, and provides plenty of examples and exercises. She also helps students set out their mathematical reasoning clearly.
