You may be aware that best-selling science writer Simon Singh, author of books such as “Fermat’s Last Theorem”, visited the Mathematical Institute at the start of the academic year. He and his colleague, Junaid Mubeen run a maths excellence programme (Parallel) for state school students. As well as giving some insights into what constitutes good practice in writing, outreach and education, they gave a brief outline of their Parallel programme, which currently supports 1,000 talented maths students every week from Year 7 through to Year 11. Over the next six months, Parallel will welcome 500 new students, so Simon and Junaid are keen to recruit more paid tutors (£30/h). If you are interested in finding out more, then please complete this form before the end of June.
Many undergraduates and postgraduates, who completed the form earlier in the year, are already tutoring with Parallel or will be starting in September.
