Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Edinburgh South

Emily Mounfield - Kemp

Hello, I'm Emily!

I'm a maths graduate from the University of Edinburgh and I began tutoring maths in 2014. 

I have a particular interest in mathematical education because we gain so much more from learning maths than just numerical competency and mental maths skills. 

The ability to learn, apply and adapt mathematical concepts helps develop imperative life skills such as logical thinking, informational analysis and deductive reasoning. 

I aim to teach in a way that helps foster these skills within a fun and supportive environment.

Whilst I am not teaching maths I like to swim, go foraging in the woods and hang out with my cats Chai and Earl.

Shugo Kitahara

Hey, I'm Shugo!

I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from Edinburgh University.

As part of the Mathnasium team, I really want to share my passion for maths and more broadly for education. I want to foster not only the logical thinking , problem solving and analytical skills that maths can develop but also curiosity about the world. I try to enable our students to see maths as a fun set of puzzles rather than another chore. I want students to look forward to maths classes as a safe space where they can ask questions, sharpen their curiosity and be their best selves.

Outside of work, I enjoy solving Sudoku, playing puzzle video games and music - I've been playing viola and violin since I was a child and I've recently also decided to pick up the bass guitar.

Max Meikle

Hi, I’m Max!!!

I’m a first year studying PPE at the University or Edinburgh and have tutored maths throughout my teenage years.

I have a real passion for maths and am always excited to share this with anyone that walks in the door. I love to be there for the moment when it all clicks for a pupil and they truly understand the key concept. My aim is to teach in a way that creates a fun, supportive and engaging environment to best develop mathematical skills.

Outside of work, I love to play rugby, watch Chelsea games and travel to new and exciting places.

Callum Russell

Hi, I'm Callum! 

I am a recent maths graduate from Heriot- Watt University and I am currently studying for a Master degree in maths from the University of Edinburgh. 

I am enthusiastic about mathematics and mathematics education and i hope to pass on my enthusiasm and aid students in becoming more confident in their abilities. At Mathnasium, I want to harbour a supportive environment where students feel able to ask questions and grow. 

Away from university and Mathnasium, I spend my time playing video games and watching football or rugby. I particularly enjoy heading to Murrayfield for the Six Nations. 

Lewis Baldock

Hello, I'm Lewis! 

I'm a recent Physics graduate from the University of St Andrews. 

I am keen to share my passion for maths as I believe a strong understanding of maths develops a broad set of extremely useful problem solving skills. I enjoy enabling others to understand why a concept works and teaching in a way that lets students feel safe and enjoy maths, building their confidence and independence. 

Outside of work, I enjoy playing the piano, watching football and I have recently picked up wildlife photography.
