TMUA Tutors : 1-1 TMUA 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.

Hi! My name is Anmol and I am a Computer Science graduate from Cambridge University. I achieved 10 9s at GCSE including a 9 in maths and achieved 4 A*s at A-level in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. Maths has always been my favourite subject at school and I hope to try and make it all of my student’s favourite subject if it isn’t already. I have lots of experience mentoring GCSE and A-level students in maths and physics, helping them achieve top grades. I am also happy to set and mark homework if the student would also like that. In addition, I am more than happy to help with the Cambridge University entrance process, whether it be providing feedback on personal statements, helping with university entrance exams or simply answering any general questions you may have. I also have plenty of resources which would be particularly useful for the TMUA and MAT entrance exams. I have also helped students clear the oxbridge admissions assessment with 4/5 of the students receiving offers.

Hey! My name is Shyam and I am a 3rd year maths student at Cambridge. I have experience teaching younger students during A-levels as part of a charity program known as MathsMakers, where I volunteered to help students catch up with their peers by guiding them to learn and truly understand the mathematics they are being taught rather than blindly accepting rules. I enjoy teaching as it allows to to give back to the world as well as the opportunity to ensure students can appreciate what they are learning instead of memorising content for the sake of memorising it. I attended a non-grammar state school growing up so was not given sufficient help when preparing for entrance tests and interviews and aim to ensure that others don’t have to self-teach and instead can be given the attention and help required to prosper.

I am a Cambridge Mathematics student, who achieved all A*s in my A-levels in Maths, Further maths, Physics and Economics. To get into Cambridge, I also had to sit the maths STEP 2 and 3 papers, for which I achieved top grades S,1 respectively. I can teach new maths and further maths content using any exam board syllabus, through virtual one-to-one sessions. As someone who very recently went through the process of applying successfully to Oxbridge for a STEM subject, I can give helpful advice on the Oxbridge admissions process that can massively help you improve your application! I understand what it feels like to come from a school where perhaps going to Oxbridge isn’t a common route for students, and that can feel quite isolating during the application process, which is why I am eager to give advice to prospective applicants and de-myth any concerns.

Hi, I’m Tom. I have been tutoring for 5 years and I would be delighted to take you on as my next student! My own academic journey has been incredibly fulfilling, providing me with exciting opportunities and transforming my approach to learning. Through my studies, I developed a deep passion for my subjects, honed my problem-solving skills, and built the confidence to tackle complex challenges.

I find immense joy in guiding students on their own academic paths. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring for me is witnessing the growth in my students – seeing their understanding deepen, their grades improve, and their confidence soar. I firmly believe that the skills and mindsets developed through our work together will serve them well not just in their immediate academic pursuits, but in all their future endeavors. Whether you’re aiming for top grades, preparing for university admissions, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of maths and science, I’m here to support and inspire you every step of the way.

Hi! I’m Mieszko.

I was successful in an application to study Computer Science at Oxford, while helping to lead a twice-a-week 2 hour long mentoring sessions, tutoring 3 other students with their admissions tests. One of these got an interview at Oxford, another got into Oxford, and a third was successful in applying to Cambridge.

Since then, I’ve completed 2 years in Oxford (after an early transfer to a joint honours Maths and Computer Science course). In my most recent exams, I achieved the equivalent of a first class – “the equivalent of” because the actual results combine both this year, and the next one.

Outside college, I do a decent amount of sports, including hiking, squash and judo, though recently I’ve been quite into pool. I play piano, watch a fair amount of TV and read a fair amount of books – recently both have been “This Is Going To Hurt – Diaries of a Junior Doctor”.

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.

Hi, my name is Abhay and I am an economics teacher at a prestigious private school in London, having graduated from Cambridge University (studying economics) with a strong Master’s.

I have extensive experience from practice and tutoring of TMUA, TSA and MAT papers, as well as GCSE and A-Level Maths and Economics, having tutored well over 1000 hours across four years.

Prior to university, I achieved 12 A*/9 at GCSE and 4 A* at A-Level at Westminster School. I received offers from Cambridge, LSE, Warwick and UCL for Economics, so I have an understanding of the admissions process. My role as a teacher of course only compounds this. Thus I also tutor for Personal Statements and, later, for interviews.

As an economics student, there is A LOT of Maths involved – hence me doing Further Maths at A-Level and achieving A*A* – I am kept fresh by the challenging Econometrics modules I have taken. Within economics, my strengths lie in Macroeconomics although my interest is probably in Micro! Outside of academics, I play the guitar, and sportswise I play cricket, badminton and football.

As a tutor, I teach collaboratively – you will be informing me of where you think you are weakest, and where you really want to focus – with a higher number of hours I would like to cover the whole syllabus, but this is not always possible of course.

Hi, I’m Varun

I currently study Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, having achieved near perfect grades in both IGCSE and IB. I have previously succeeded in both the BMO and come top 50 in the country in the BPhO, and I’m therefore perfect to tutor anyone to success in Maths, Physics and Computer Science.

Due to technology being a long-standing interest of mine (for the better part of a decade) I have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of topics, especially those that show up in personal statements and those ready to impress any admissions tutors. I have moderate to extensive experience in upwards of 10 programming languages, and experience developing in a wide array of fields in both personal projects and in a commercial environment.

I would love to assist those looking to ace their secondary school exams and/or university admissions so feel free to contact me if you would like my help.
