ENGAA Tutors : 1-1 ENGAA Preparation

Hi! My name is Minhaj and I love tutoring. I am a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge with a master’s degree in engineering. I have quite a lot of experience when it comes to tutoring and mentoring students of all age groups in mainly STEM subjects. I have achieved 11A*s at GCSE and 4 A*s at A Level (in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry) so you can be confident in having me as your tutor for explaining even the most difficult content and helping you prepare well for exams!

My main academic interests lie within STEM areas, primarily maths and physics. This is why I chose to pursue engineering at university since it embodies both of these subjects with real-life applicable contexts. I did many super curricular activities throughout my academy journey including UKMT maths challenges (achieved GOLD twice) and attending the Isaac Physics Summer School at the University of Cambridge in Corpus Christi College (only 40 students were invited nationally).

I have experience in tutoring students from primary school all the way to students doing their A Levels (or equivalent). I also have experience in mentoring students for their university applications in STEM subjects including Oxbridge applicants. My primary area of focus for mentoring university applicants would be engineering applicants for Oxbridge & Imperial. But I am also looking to mentor students in other STEM areas such as physics, maths & computer science since the interviews and admissions test preparation often takes a similar journey. I am familiar with all the major UK STEM admissions test including the ESAT, ENGAA, NSAA, MAT, PAT and TMUA (I practised with these myself for my admissions test) so I would be willing to help students prepare for these. I currently mentor and tutor many students for STEM applications to top universities including Oxbridge and Imperial College London. I help students with all aspects of their application including helping with writing personal statements and preparing for admissions tests as well as interviews.

I’m a second year engineering student at the University of Cambridge. A few of my hobbies are cricket and gym and i love to watch f1. I love the sciences and maths and enjoy teaching it and help people understand and enjoy it as much as I do. Everyone learns in different ways so in my opinion it’s important to understand how you learn and I will try and pick up on how you learn to help you understand as well as possible. There’s no such thing as a silly question so don’t ever be scared to ask and it’s good to vocalise your doubts so when you need help you can get it.It’s completely decided up to you what you want to focus on if you have a plan of what you want to do it is even better because it will help drive the lesson and help boost your learning the most as that what we both want to achieve.

I’m Henry, a 3rd year engineering student at Cambridge undertaking the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos. I have helped many students with Oxbridge applications with a high success rate. Within this I have provided sessions on PAT/ ENGAA (now ESAT) and admissions interviews. I have also spoken at my schools next steps evening to promote Oxbridge and encourage students to apply. Furthermore, I met with a workshop group where I critiquer and improved their personal statements to optimise for Oxbridge admissions tutors, every year I help roughly 5 students through the entire STEM Oxbridge application process. I love practicing interviews with students and building their confidence in this strange challenge. Currently, I am working at a first class level in my degree and undertaking a masters next year.

I graduated reading Physics at the University of Oxford.
I was the first from my Sixth Form to attend Oxford.
I have done A Levels: Physics (A*), Maths (A*), Further Maths (A), and Spanish (A*).
I enjoy tutoring students with their A levels and admissions tests to help them achieve their dream universities.
I tailor my tutoring style must be catered to each individual student. I build a rapport with my students, understanding their strengths and weaknesses and how they learn best. I firmly believe that the best teaching can be done from a place of having struggled to understand concepts, and finding a way to overcome this. Throughout school and university many lessons took a long time to click for me, and I had to find what worked for me. Nothing brings me more joy than finding what helps my students to finally understand something.
Past students I have tutored have gone on to achieve offers from universities such as Oxford, ICL, and Durham.

Having attended a state school (and attaining the best GCSE grades: https://www.nhsg.org.uk/latestnews/gcse-results-a-birthday-to-remember), I understand the endless hard work and effort that goes into oxbridge applications and education in general. No student should be disadvantaged and I’d love to make their lives easier by passing on my experiences and success with getting into the top universities (Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, KCL). Although a massive part of it is luck, hard work can get you anywhhere; it’s just about knowing where to put in the hard work to achieve the best results! Personal statements, ENGAA, and interviews can be exhausting if they aren’t handled in the right way, without appropriate guidance but as an engineer, solving problems efficiently is at the heart of what I do so I hope that can be applied to giving you the best chance possible of achieving your dreams 🙂

Hi, I’m Fran! I am a postgraduate student at UCL, studying for MSc Science Technology and Society, which I hope to finish in 2024. In 2022, I graduated with a BA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, where I specialised in Materials Science in my final year. I’m super passionate about science, and love science communication and policy-making. In my spare time, I enjoy rock-climbing, reading, board games, and music.
I have been tutoring privately for around 5 years now, and I love it! I enjoy spreading my passion for science and love discussing new and interesting topics and issues in science with my students. I think it’s really important to engage children and young people with science, to encourage the next generation of medics, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.

Hi everyone!
My name is Aadam and I am an Engineering student at Trinity College, Cambridge.

I have had experience guiding students in their Cambridge Engineering (and STEM) applications in everything from personal statements to interviews. I have particular experience in tutoring the entrance exams/interviews for which I have already prepared many resources.

Having gone through the experience myself, I understand the concerns you will have and stresses that you will be under so rest assured I will be there to answer any questions that you might have and make the process as smooth and as comfortable as possible.

I am also fluent in French and German so I can tutor you in these languages as well as in English if you prefer.

I am ready to help you succeed and hope to see you in Cambridge!

I have also had a lot of experience tutoring online via Zoom (nearly 5 years now) in many subjects at GCSE (and A-Level) so I am completely familiar with the process and I know to harness the many benefits of online tutoring and how to completely avoid its inevitable drawbacks.

Hi, I am a second year engineering student at the University of Cambridge. With a strong track record in both Physics and Maths, I am confident teaching both at A Level and GCSE , providing high quality guidance and advice to suit your learning style. Having successfully applied to Oxbridge for Engineering, I can help students with the Engineering admissions process for both Oxford and Cambridge. I am happy to offer help with both admissions assessments along with mock interviews and personal statement feedback. I believe that learning should be for the individual and I tailor my style to each student, to help them succeed. I hope that I can help bring out your strengths in admissions testing, as well as in exams. But also, to help with your weaker areas to enable you to succeed the best you can.

Hi there, I’m a first year Engineering student at the University of Cambridge, with industry experience in Mechanical and Information engineering, through having completed a year long internship at a surgical robotics company based in Cambridge. I’m enthusiastic about maths and physics, and have participated in Olympiads to a high level, helping build a solid core understanding of physical concepts. I am passionate about helping get these ideas across to my students, and am willing to put in the work required. I also know the Oxbridge application process back to front, and have spent hours collecting bespoke resources to help aid the thinking process admissions are looking for. I strongly believe any student with the right resources and a solid work ethic is able to secure a place at oxbridge!
