Tom Sanderson Tutoring Newsletter – #1

Hi everyone,

We made it – we’ve reached the end of summer, and a new school year is on the horizon. I, for one, am very excited. I have a bunch of new resources to try out, and we are coming off the back of my most successful year ever.

But let me explain the purpose of this email. This is my newsletter for Tom Sanderson Tutoring. The idea for this newsletter came from one of my clients, Melissa, and I thought it was an amazing idea. I had been contemplating creating one for a while.

The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you updated on what I am doing and to give me a chance to share really interesting information and things that I find fascinating. When appropriate, I will also use this newsletter to highlight the achievements of my students.

My goal is to provide one update a month while I get used to this. I may also consider turning this into a podcast, but that’s a question for another time.

New website

I’ve been meaning to do this for ages, I’m slowly redesign my website, I’m going for the black theme that I think looks really cool. Black has always been in fashion, and I can’t live without dark mode on any of my apps.

Fun Fact in Maths:

Did you know that 0 is the only number that cannot be represented by Roman numerals? Roman numerals use I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to represent numbers, but there’s no symbol for zero. The concept of zero as a number was introduced much later in the history of mathematics, revolutionizing how we count and calculate.

All the best,

Tom
