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 nearly a year of tutoring experience, I have delivered over 70 hours of targeted TMUA preparation. I focus on building mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills essential for top scores. My students benefit from tailored support, including practice papers, timing strategies, and feedback, ensuring confidence on test day.

I’ve successfully guided students through Oxbridge admissions, integrating TMUA strategies with personal statement refinement, interview practice, and advanced economics concepts. My background in eloquence and drama equips me to coach students on delivering clear, compelling answers during interviews.

Having supported over 20 students, I’m adept at addressing varied student needs, from mastering TMUA-style questions to integrating game theory or econometrics into interview preparation. My own Oxbridge admissions journey and deep knowledge of their processes ensure students are fully prepared.

Tutoring Approach

I adopt an organised, results-driven approach to TMUA preparation, focusing on simplifying complex mathematical concepts and developing effective test strategies. Using Zoom and tools like OneNote, I provide real-time problem-solving sessions, screen-sharing resources, and step-by-step walkthroughs. My aim is to create a supportive, interactive environment that builds both skills and confidence, leaving students fully prepared for success.

Testimonials

"What I like from your tutoring is the fact you try to make sure that I’ve understood everything, even if I am lacking some knowledge, you try to explain a concept in a way I can understand it. You also like to go to a higher depth than I am taught in at school, which is closer to how Economics is at University"
