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 a proven track record mentoring MAT candidates, drawing on my experience as a Student Mentor for the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme and my time mentoring at the Oxford Mathematical Institute. I create comprehensive resources, including custom mock questions, interactive visuals, and tailored feedback, designed to strengthen my students’ performance in key MAT topics such as Geometry, Calculus, and Trigonometry.

Tutoring Approach

For the MAT, I focus on organizing the syllabus into core topics like Curve Sketching, Geometry, Calculus, and Trigonometry. Lessons emphasize independent problem-solving through targeted exercises and clear visual explanations. I tailor sessions to each student’s strengths and areas for improvement, providing regular reinforcement and practice to build mastery. My resources and feedback are designed to enhance understanding and long-term retention.

Testimonials

"We are really happy we can have such an excellent professional to work with our son. He seems to know very well, how to make our son work hard and keep him interested at the same time. We really like it, since we think taking more challenges is the only way to improve in a subject. We had multiple tutors before and we like Richard the most. We can easily rate him 10 out of 10."
