Dr Jamie Frost

Teacher

Tiffin School

Jamie has taught maths for eight years. He was previously a PhD student at Oxford University working in AI (winning a Teaching Excellence Prize and the Microsoft Research Prize for his undergraduate dissertation), prior to which he coded trading algorithms for an investment bank.

His teaching resources have been downloaded over seven million times with in excess of one million page views on his site a day, and students have answered nearly 100 million questions online on his online platform, DrFrostMaths.

He won a Gold Pearson Teaching Prize, appearing on BBC2's 'Britain's Classroom Heroes'.

He reached the top ten for the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, and was awarded the Global Teacher Prize Covid Hero Award in special recognition of 'someone who has gone above and beyond to keep young people learning during the COVID-19 pandemic'.

His passion is to inspire and engage all maths learners across the ability spectrum and regardless of financial background, and both his resources and online platform continue to be completely free to all.
