Tom

Tom first learned to program at 14 and followed that interest to a Computer Science degree at the University of Cambridge. At Aylesbury Grammar School he achieved A*s in Maths, Further Maths and Physics and won the Governors’ Prize for Excellence in A-level Results. He worked in the Software and Controls group at PA Consulting, building embedded systems, optimising simulations and automated test platforms.

Tom has tutored GCSE Computing and Mathematics, and helped one student who had been struggling with her teaching go on to achieve an A* in her summer exams. He also supervised a third-year Cambridge Computer Science student’s dissertation.

Tom teaches by challenging the assumptions his students have made. By showing them where those assumptions break down, he helps them develop new and more accurate models of how things work.
