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 years of experience tutoring mathematics, I specialise in mentoring students for STEP exams and the Cambridge application process. Having passed all three STEP papers with ease and succeeded in the Cambridge interview, I am well-equipped to guide students through this challenging process, helping them build confidence and mastery over STEP’s unique style and content.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons focus on the advanced problem-solving techniques required for STEP, starting with a thorough review of mathematical concepts. I encourage open dialogue to assess understanding and draw connections across mathematical topics. Most of our time is dedicated to solving past STEP questions, with students articulating their reasoning to strengthen their confidence and highlight areas for improvement.

I provide detailed marking, feedback, and example solutions for independent work between sessions. Discussing these efforts during lessons ensures students refine their strategies. For those preparing for Oxbridge, I offer mock interviews tailored to STEP-style thinking, increasing confidence and readiness for success.
