I can offer a number of services, such as talks, workshops, tutoring and consultancy. I have been working in maths
communication for three years and have hand crafted services to offer.
Talks
If you would like to get me to do a talk / lecture for you please get in contact via my
contact form. I run a number of talks on many different areas of maths for a
variety of ages. Here is section of topics,
-
"Running Around in Circles, and it isn't as useless as you first expect" - A talk about homotopy
equivalence and parkrun
-
"Computers, Maths and the problem with 'The Search for Truth'" - A talk about type theory,
interactive theorem provers and proving the area of a circle is \(\pi\)
-
"Equations and Enviroments" - How we can use maths to stop oil tankers capsizing.
- Some smaller bite size talks on Riemann Rearrangements, Sums of Squares and Dynamical Systems
Usually my talks last an hour and most of my talks can be adapted to most age groups.
Workshops
I also run workshops for schools, universities and community groups. My workshops run from topics more academic
like getting hands on with topological invariants to more practical workshops like using programming and maths in
your every day life. Some titles of my workshops are,
-
"Euler, Homotopy and Time the invariants of life" - A workshop about creating mathematical objects using
paper and other materials and studying their topological properties.
-
"Maths of Everyday, a practical guide" - A workshop entailing how we can use mathematics to model things that
are all around us and how to live a better life by using them.
-
"Python, no not the Monty kind or the snake" - A quick workshop on the principles of python for people who want
to start scripting quickly.
My workshops go from a one hour workshop to a two hour workshop. Most of my workshops have these options, depending on
time constraints. Again
contact me if you are interested.
Tutoring and Mentoring
I have tutored and mentored many students through mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science qualifications. I run
sessions usually online through zoom. I tutor GCSE, A-level, IB and Degree level mathematics and GCSE A-level/IB science subjects.
If you are looking for this or something slightly different, contact me.
Further I mentor students towards University Entrance Exams and interviews. I mentored students that have gained university places
at Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrews, Bath, Exeter and Imperial. Mathematical Olympiad training is also available.
Consultancy
I also offer consultancy services to companies that have problems mathematics can solve. I have worked with finance companies in the past to
solve problems to grow and boost their business. If you have a problem that needs solving and my extensive background in mathematical modelling
can help with,
contact me.
Pricing and Requirements
Talks and Workshops
For the sake of opacity, I will give some
rough figures on pricing. These figures are very dependent on what you want and are based
on a stock session in a standard venue.
-
1 Session - £400
-
Half Day (Two Sessions) - £600
-
Three Sessions - £900
In addition, I charge travel and accomodation costs where needed. I travel mostly by public transport, so estimated travel costs will be
a return train to the venue + a bus journey if the venue isn't close to a train station. More than three sessions in a day are available,
but the pricing follows the pattern shown above.
Please note that workshops that require consumables may have a small consumable fee for audiences larger than 10 people, see below in
requirements.
Requirements
Here are a number of things that are needed for me to do a show,
Essential
- Projector
- Access to laptop and plug
- A small table for props
- Lapel Microphone if large venue
- Setup time, ~30mins
Would be nice
- Cup of tea / water
- For workshops: glue, scissors, paper (otherwise consumable fee will be charged)
- Place to put my bag off stage
