Cambridge University - Natural Sciences

I am a second-year Natural Sciences undergraduate at Cambridge University with four years of tutoring experience. I specialise in preparing students for admissions tests like the ESAT, offering guidance in Mathematics, Physics, and related problem-solving skills. My goal is to help students develop the confidence and understanding needed to succeed in their academic and admissions goals.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I begin with a timed ESAT past paper to assess the student's starting level and identify key areas for improvement. From there, we focus on understanding the theoretical foundations of each section and practice a variety of question types under time constraints. Problem-solving exercises and external challenges are incorporated to build adaptability and confidence for interviews and test environments.

Tutoring Approach

I tailor sessions to the student’s needs, starting with an assessment of their school curriculum and challenges. Depending on the student’s needs, I either review theory to strengthen understanding or focus on practicing exam-style questions to build confidence. Sessions include advanced problem-solving exercises to broaden perspectives beyond the syllabus.

Testimonials

“Alex was a great tutor, he helped me to understand the equations for Physics, where they came from and when to apply them”

A-Level Student

“Being tutored by Alex has been extremely helpful and fun - he loves challenging me and pushing me with new, unexplored and obscure topics but is also not scared to take a step back if I seem overwhelmed..."
