Hi, I’m Andrew 🙂 teacher at the University of Cambridge & the London School of Economics (LSE). I’ve taught 400+ students privately and 1m+ students via my online courses — featuring in Forbes 30 Under 30 & winning the LSE Class Teacher Award for “outstanding student feedback”.
Surprisingly, I actually dropped out of school at 16 (!) believing I wasn’t “smart enough”…but self-studied my way to the highest grades at A Level (98.2%), LSE (87%), and Cambridge (94.4%) — winning ~£40k in scholarships & 11 academic prizes!
I know EXACTLY what it takes to succeed at the elite level, and I now have 15 years’ experience helping students achieve their own successes: many now studying at Oxbridge & Ivy League institutions, winning their own academic prizes along the way 🙂

• Highest exam average at Cambridge (94.4%)
• Cambridge Trust Academic Merit Scholarship (~1% of applicants)

My teaching style
I use a full suite of evidence-based learning techniques from educational neuroscience to help my students achieve the best grades possible — from mastery learning to spaced repetition, Socratic questioning, generation, the testing effect, active recall, mnemonics and more.
But it all starts with reverse engineering your exam. As an examiner at LSE & Cambridge and A Level (Edexcel), I know precisely how critical exam technique can be for top grades. Once we understand the mechanics of your exam, scoring 100% is simply following a few well-practised steps on top of solid conceptual understanding.
I also help with coursework projects, dissertations & university applications — I previously ran the UK’s largest university admissions support site, helping 40,000+ students, featured in The Telegraph & The Guardian.
