I am…

Thomas K. Briggs

Most people just call me Tom, but I’m also known as T.K., TKB, and TeaKayB, depending on where you find me.

A museum educator and maths fan

I’m an individual with a love of maths, an interest in history and museums, and a conviction that mixing the two produces something much greater impact than the sum of its parts.

I do…

Learning & education consultancy for museums, galleries, libraries, archives, in the heritage sector and beyond

My work helps museums, galleries and other heritage organisations to develop their learning programmes; to understand how educational ideas can be used to enrich every visitor’s experience; and to gain the confidence to explore opportunities provided by the mathematical stories that exist in every organisation’s history and objects.

Maths communication and education for these organisations and more

I enjoy mathematics and believe that anyone, anywhere can find something they can access and enjoy within it too.

I have…

Qualifications in teaching, education and mathematics

including an MA in Education; a PgCert in Digital Leadership; a PGCE in Mathematics (with A-Level Accreditation) and QTS; and a BSc Mathematics with Astronomy

Experience in schools and museums

I’ve taugh mathematics to the full secondary school age range in state schools in England for over a decade; I have managed aspects of a museum learning programme, leading its development, line-managing paid staff, and working closely with volunteers; and I’ve worked on a variety of projects independently and as part of a team of freelancers, from developing standalone learning resources to fully evaluating entire learning programmes for heritage sector organisations.
