Stanley Upfold

Hey, my name is Stanley and I'm a first - year undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, studying Design, an interdisciplinary course that merges architecture and engineering.

Having recently achieved my Mathematics and Further Mathematics A - Levels and now taking math based modules as part of my degree, I'm familiar with the current specifications, exam techniques and common misconceptions that students encounter .

Also, I think having someone that not only has gone through the system recently, but is young is something that is helpful when it comes to tutoring. Often there can feel like a real power dynamic between student and teacher, and hopefully having a tutor not much older in age can make the dynamic more approachable, creating an environment where students are more comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and working through difficulties without feeling judged.

What I think I most enjoy about Mathematics is the way it seemingly turns complicated problems into logical and manageable solutions. I think knowing why and how something works is just as important as knowing how to use it and can be the most helpful thing to aid a students on their individual journeys with mathematics.
