I’ve just finished my second year of maths at Oxford so my admissions process and A levels are still fresh in my memory. However, university maths has allowed me to better understand what tutors and examiners are looking for at that stage.

I offer comprehensive MAT tutoring as well as practice interviews and guidance for personal statements. I’ve amassed a lot of resources from my own admissions cycle and I’m knowledgeable about the sort of concepts and formats of questions that come up repeatedly. The MAT has a lot of fairly predictable tricks that I aim to familiarise the student with but we will also develop a thorough understanding of the whole syllabus and the university level concepts that underlay the questions so they can tackle more unpredictable questions. We will also talk a lot about exam technique for the MAT and how to present your answers and thinking process in the later questions and interviews.

For A Level Maths and Further Maths tutoring, I make sure a student is well versed with the formats and topics that come up every year. Then, to land securely in the higher marks I’ll stretch their understanding of the syllabus and develop problem solving skills with extension questions.
