TMUA Tutoring & PreparationTest of Mathematics for University Admission

I've been a self-employed tutor more than 4 years — teaching Maths at GCSE and A-Level has taught me to notice what a student is really struggling with and adapt the next lesson around it, pacing things differently depending on their level. As I've done A-Level Maths and Further Maths myself, I'm equally happy tutoring GCSE Further Maths. I focus on the reasoning and unfamiliar problem-solving the TMUA rewards, built through structured, patient practice.

I've given practice interviews for Cambridge Maths to five students as well as reviewing their personal statements, and I worked on a residential at my college for state school students, supporting them with entrance-exam questions. Many students I've tutored are those who need extra help to pass GCSE maths, and I've been able to support and encourage them to do exactly that. I've supported many students with SEND, providing tailored and engaging sessions suited to their individual needs. I am kind and supportive, and what I aim to provide for all students, alongside the mathematical knowledge, is the confidence that they are also good at maths — and that they can enjoy it.

I attended a specialist maths high school focused on problem-solving, and I work patiently and consistently until things click. I tutor TMUA and STEP preparation alongside A-Level and GCSE maths, and I love showing students that hard problems become approachable with the right mindset.

My style is patient and question-led: rather than handing you answers, I help you build the understanding and confidence to reason through problems yourself — exactly how I was taught in Cambridge supervisions. My degree specialism was artificial intelligence, which I love using to stretch students and show them where the subject leads. I also hold the JLPT N1, the highest level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, from six years of self-teaching — an experience that shaped how I break difficult material down. Beyond admissions I tutor Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science and Japanese.

Alongside admissions support I tutor maths and further maths at every level, personalising sessions to your specific needs and the areas you want to strengthen. I enjoy the learning process as much as the result, and I tailor everything to how you work best.

The TMUA rewards applying A-level maths in unfamiliar situations and reasoning carefully with logic and proof, rather than recalling method — and that's what I focus on in sessions. Alongside TMUA preparation I tutor Maths, Further Maths and Computer Science at GCSE and A-Level, and I'm happy to talk through what Computer Science at Cambridge is actually like from someone currently doing it.

I tutored one student through the Oxford Mathematics admissions process, taking them from an initial practice mark of 40 to 60 in their actual exam. I've also helped students with admissions preparation as a university student ambassador, running personal statement workshops, mock interviews and entrance exam preparation. I sat Oxford's maths admissions test myself in 2022, scoring 65, before the TMUA replaced it — the reasoning and unfamiliar problem-solving it demanded is the same thinking these papers reward, and my Olympiad background means I'm comfortable with problems that don't have an obvious route in.
