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 have worked as a private tutor for over 5 years: the bulk of my work is teaching IB, GCSE and A-Level Maths and GCSE Science. I also help prepare candidates for the 11+ and 13+ examinations, as well as entrance to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

I have helped candidates prepare for Mathematics and Computer Science interviews and entrance examinations such as the STEP, MAT and CSAT.

Whilst I was an undergraduate, I worked as a volunteer maths teacher at Long Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge as part of the STIMULUS programme. I helped students with their coursework, focussing on discrete mathematics.

Tutoring Approach

My approach emphasises deep mathematical reasoning and advanced problem-solving techniques tailored specifically for STEP. Sessions are interactive, guiding students through complex proofs, logical frameworks, and exam-style questions. I adapt my teaching to individual learning needs, ensuring students master abstract concepts and excel under exam conditions.

"I am so pleased with the support you are providing Theo. I think you are a superb role model for him and he enjoys talking through the questions with you."

"You have been fantastic for Warrick's maths and it is clear that he has made great progress with your assistance. You have been a very professional and dedicated tutor as well as a pleasure to work with. [...] We also wanted to thank you for the progress you have made with Warrick as shown in his mocks where his percentage went up nearly 40% since his last assessment."
