Vetted Tutor

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

With a decade of experience tutoring both online and in-person, I have focused extensively on preparing students for the Mathematics Admission Test (MAT) for entry to top universities like Oxford. My expertise includes guiding students through problem-solving strategies, advanced mathematical thinking, and time management skills essential for MAT success. I hold a Further Education qualification equivalent to a PGCE (2016), and my applied mathematics background allows me to make abstract concepts accessible and relatable.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to MAT preparation is student-centred, focusing on the unique strengths and areas for improvement of each individual. I employ interactive tools such as GeoGebra, digital textbooks, and Miro for collaborative problem-solving and immediate feedback. Sessions are structured to cover the core MAT syllabus, with an emphasis on logical reasoning and advanced problem-solving techniques. Drawing from an extensive bank of tailored example problems, I ensure students gain a comprehensive understanding of the exam’s structure and demands while developing skills that extend beyond the test itself.
