Brian Williamson uses fantasy-based learning to teach maths to young and old alike. He believes that there is always a joke or a surprise hiding round the corner ... and that daydreaming can be a great way to learn!! Brian has worked independently as a full-time one-to-one tutor since submitting his Ph.D. thesis in June 1985. Prior to this he worked as a Research Officer in Computational Statistics at Bangor University. He took a sabbatical year in 1988 to study for a master's degree in special educational needs at Manchester University. The role and approach Brian adopts in the community is as follows: - Visiting children and students in their homes, schools, colleges and universities. Supporting families who are home-educating. Using a free-place and low-fee scheme to help some individuals. Talking to parents and helping to build support networks. Appropriate record keeping and archiving of successful teaching and learning strategies. Making teaching notes and sketches for his comic maths books."
