Peter was my undergraduate tutee from September 2014 to June 2016, the 2nd and 3rd years of his BSc Mathematics degree. Peter graduated in July 2016 with a 2.1 degree, including excellent marks in Multivariable and Vector Analysis (92%), Numerical Methods and Programming (85%) and Real and Complex Analysis (78%).
I had most contact with Peter during his second year. During weekly tutorials, Peter would enthusiastically take part in problem solving and present written solutions on the blackboard. He is a good mathematician and has excellent communication skills - in particular he is calm, patient and methodical, vital aspects of conveying mathematics. I also taught him Numerical Methods and Programming that year - again his work in group computer lab sessions was excellent.
Peter is a very pleasant and agreeable person - I found him very easy to deal with as a tutee, and we have had some very interesting discussions about careers and further study. He was clearly well-liked by his peers and I believe that other students would look to him for help with their work in the group study space.
I believe Peter will make a very good tutor. He has the right balance of excellent communication, a calm and pleasant manner, and strong mathematical ability.
