Leon Simmy

A highly motivated A-Level student with a strong interest in mathematics, statistics and quantitative finance. Through work experience with EY and Barclays and experience tutoring mathematics, I have developed strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills. I enjoy applying logical thinking to real-world problems and am seeking opportunities to further develop my quantitative skills while gaining experience within the finance industry.
