Ben is one of our best Maths tutors. High-quality profile, verified qualifications, a quick response time, and great reviews from students!

About Ben

About me: - Mathematics Ph.D. from the London School of Economics. - GradStat from the Royal Statistical Society. - Have taught at Cambridge University, LSE, and King's College London (where I also did short teacher training courses). - Spent 1 year teaching maths to children in an inner city school. - Over 15 years tutoring experience (several of my students are now professors or lecturers). - Experience working as a data science/machine learning consultant in industry. I enjoy mathematics, statistics & programming, and sharing that enthusiasm with others.

About the lesson

I teach GCSE & A-level students, undergraduates and postgraduates, and offer both ongoing lessons or one-off help with projects. I have many years' experience teaching mathematics, statistics and computer programming, and applications of these subjects to fields such as economics, finance, machine learning and data science. See below for a list of areas covered. Each student is different, and I adjust my teaching method depending on their needs. After consulting with the student I will collect the relevant teaching materials (notes, exercises, past papers, etc.) and make a plan. Initial lessons will follow this plan, and after getting a feel for the strengths and weaknesses of the student the plan can be adjusted to match. I try to engage the student as much as possible by asking questions to make sure they understand, and posing problems for them to solve. I make sure that they learn the key concepts and skills which enable them to more easily master the subject material. - Probability theory - Linear algebra - Calculus - Group theory and abstract algebra - Problem solving - Statistical theory - Bayesian statistics - Gauss-Markov theory (heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation) - Linear regression - Instrumental variables & endogeneity - Moderating and mediating variables - Parametric and non-parametric statistics - Panel data modelling - Survival models - Binary choice models (logistic regression & probit models) - Time-series modelling (VAR/SVAR/VECM, ARMA, ARCH/GARCH models) - Programming with Stata, Eviews, R, SPSS, Matlab, Python, etc. - Machine learning algorithms (clustering, SVM, random forests, neural networks, etc.) - Financial mathematics - Business mathematics & statistics - Linear programming & mathematical optimisation (including AMPL programming)

Perfect! Really enjoyed my stats tutoring with Ben. He was an extremely skilled and patient teacher, teaching me everything from the very basics, so that I could complete my Research in Marketing module as part of my MSc. He really took the time to explain each concept and I am grateful for the level of detail with which he reviewed everything with me. As someone who is pretty terrified of maths, he made getting through this assignment much more bearable!

This was her first statistics course, and we had to cover a lot in a short time, but she seemed to pick it up quite quickly, and is a good listener.

Perfect! Ben has been incredibly helpful with my neural networks assignments. He is tremendously experienced in both teaching and neural networks. He calmly guided me from the start, carefully explaining each concept as basic as needed. He has worked as much as needed to make sure I understand everything and that my assignments follow the exact requirements. I would happily come back to Ben anytime and would recommend him to others who are in need of an expert in neural networks.

Nicola was struggling with the maths for her neural networks course since she had not done any linear algebra or calculus courses beforehand. I helped her get a better understanding of backpropagation, conjugate gradients and R-propagation methods.

Ben's response
Good student just starting out in her statistics Ph.D. She needed some help understanding some papers on sliced inverse regression (a dimension reduction technique) for time series analysis, and some help with R programming.
She was not afraid to ask basic questions while I went through the theory & examples on the whiteboard, making sure that she understood every step.

Perfect! Ben is a fantastically patient and clear tutor! He is helping me revise for a university exam I have little background in and is able to break down complex subjects into extremely manageable building blocks, enabling me to truly understand what I am doing rather than regurgitating methods. His statistics knowledge astounds and is able to reformulate his teachings to match my syllabus specifications. Highly recommend!

Although I hadn't studied probability or statistics beforehand I decided to take some advanced econometrics courses during my degree to improve my job prospects, and get a better understanding of how to analyze economic policy. Ben gave me a good grounding in basic probability theory and also helped me with the more advanced stuff throughout the course. I went on to be accepted onto my first choice of masters which built on the econometrics principles I learnt with Ben. I now work in energy market analytics. Ben’s help and knowledge has been invaluable to get me into the career path I wanted!

Ben was a great tutor during my masters. I wasn’t confident with my maths however, after spending a few weeks with Ben I felt well prepared for my exam. Ben has a great skill and is very good at simplifying things step by step. He was also very patient with me when I wasn’t sure. I would highly recommend Ben as a tutor.
