I have always had a strength and passion for maths. Developing from a child who simply enjoyed solving puzzles and problems to a student excelling in GCSE/A Level further/maths, I have taken an increasingly deep interest in the subject, aspiring to undertake a Bachelor’s Degree in Pure Mathematics at university this year. Excelling in three GCSE Qualifications in maths (Edexcel Maths [A*], OCR FSMQ Additional Maths [A], AQA L2 Further Maths [A^]) and confident with A Level content (OCR MEI Modules Taken: C1-4, FP1, FP2 D1, S1, S2, M1, M2, M3), I took joy in running drop-in maths sessions at school and tutoring fellow students in my spare time, being particularly gifted in finding alternative explanations to suit a range of methods of thinking. I have also been consistent in my extra-curricular involvement in maths, ranging from masterclasses at the Royal Institution, to regular seminars on Number Theory by a visiting academic, to achieving Gold/Kangaroo Certificates in the UKMT Maths Challenges.
