About Simon
I have a BSc in pure mathematics from Sheffield University and a PhD in mathematics from Warwick. I spent two years teaching maths at a university in Nigeria. This involved lecturing to and holding one-to-one tutorials with maths students, and lecturing to large audiences of students on other science courses.
On returning to the UK I took a job as a statistician in local government, evaluating the effectiveness of road safety measures. My interest in software development, which was necessary for the creation of analytical tools, led me to take up a role as software engineer in a company in Cambridge specialising in geographic information systems. The application area has changed over time but I am still working, now part-time, in the same role.

Simon and I have been colleagues for over 30 years, working in an industry that uses cartographic and other spatial data, applying mathematical and computational processes. As part of that work, we frequently need to specify, present or review the approach to a particular problem, either one-to-one or team-wide.
Simon is particular good at this - his presentation is complete and he can adapt to the level of the audience, revising his explanations accordingly. He is a kind but firm reviewer, allowing for others' points of view while making it clear what is fundamentally right or wrong.
With his agreeable, quiet, sometimes self-deprecating nature, and an ever-present sense of humour, I have no doubt that he will make a good tutor for candidates with a range of abilities and personalities.I had the pleasure of working with Simon for nearly 20 years. We worked on Geographic Information Systems and Satellite Navigation Systems. Simon was our most knowledgeable mathematician, and he was always extremely helpful whenever I needed help with mathematical problems. He always went the extra mile to ensure I had enough background information and context to understand the subject at hand, and he always adjusted the pace of his explanations to match my ability. In short, I have absolutely no doubt that Simon would be an excellent tutor for a wide range of ages and abilities.
