About Me
Hi, I'm Alex Allen, a second-year Mathematics and Computer Science student at the University of Birmingham with a passion for helping students tackle challenging concepts with confidence.
I achieved A*AA in A-Level Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Physics, along with GCSE results of 9999988666. At university, I also work as a PASS Leader, supporting first-year students with their studies.
My teaching style focuses on breaking down complex topics into clear, manageable steps, often using techniques like the Feynman method to make ideas stick.
