Stephen Fry Announces UK Teacher Jamie Frost As A Top 10 Finalist For The Global Teacher Prize 2020

Watch Stephen Fry announce UK teacher Jamie Frost as a top ten finalist for The Global Teacher Prize 2020. Ten teachers in ten weeks. Who’s next?

Now, more than ever, we must shine a light on the world’s teachers.

Jamie Frost, who teaches at Tiffin School, Kingston-Upon-Thames, was shortlisted for the Global Teacher Prize 2020, after being selected from over 12,000 nominations and applications from over 140 countries around the world.

Jamie is one of those extremely gifted teachers who was always destined for the classroom, even though he didn’t realise it at first. As a successful student at Oxford University, he won the Microsoft Research Prize for best undergraduate dissertation and went on to study for a PhD in Computer Science. While teaching as part of his graduate studies, the positive and enthusiastic response of his students inspired him, making him realise that he had a real passion and talent for the profession – so he arranged a week of work experience at his old school and the rest is history.

Jamie Frost, as well as teaching at Tiffin School, has also created and runs the hugely influential and ground-breaking website for maths tuition DrFrostMaths that provides an online learning platform, teaching resources, videos and a bank of exam questions to practice on, all for free. The site was developed to both support his school’s lower attaining students and galvanise those who may be disenfranchised with mathematics.
