Sophie has helped me refresh the key concepts in A-level linear algebra, calculus and differential equations in preparation for a master's degree in statistics. She is always well-prepared, comes with the materials/problems tailored to my level and is great at explaining complex topics in a simple way. I particularly enjoyed learning about the various real world applications for maths) And I do wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, who wants to refresh or deepen their knowledge of mathematics or statistics!
