About Me

Hi, I'm Alex Allen, a second-year Mathematics and Computer Science student at the University of Birmingham with a mission to help students tackle challenging concepts with ease.

I achieved A*AA in A-Level Maths, Further Maths, and Physics, along with straight A's in GCSE. Additionally, I am a PASS Leader and mentor in the university, supporting first-year students with their studies and would love to help more students out.

My teaching style focuses on breaking down complex topics into clear, manageable steps, often using techniques like the Feynman method to make ideas stick.
