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

Over the past three years, I have tailored my teaching to the specific demands of STEP preparation. My sessions emphasise advanced mathematical techniques, critical reasoning, and tackling challenging problem sets essential for STEP success. I provide targeted practice with past STEP papers, guiding students through solutions step-by-step to build confidence and familiarity with the exam's structure and expectations.

Additionally, I offer guidance for university admissions, particularly for mathematics and related fields at Cambridge. Combining STEP preparation with insights into admissions processes, including crafting compelling personal statements, I help students present their skills and aspirations effectively. Having reviewed nearly 100 personal statements, I ensure my students stand out in competitive applications.

Tutoring Approach

I adopt a problem-solving and example-driven approach to STEP preparation, focusing on breaking down complex mathematical concepts into understandable components. Lessons are interactive and tailored to each student’s needs, with an emphasis on mastering the most challenging questions in STEP papers. I also teach efficient problem-solving strategies to help students maximise their performance within the time constraints of the exam.
