Aiming for Oxbridge or a top STEM university?
Mathematics coaching for high-performing students
PhD mathematician & university lecturer
What top universities really look for
Top STEM universities do not select students based on grades alone. While exceptional academic performance is expected, it is not what ultimately distinguishes successful applicants. The key differentiator is the ability to solve unfamiliar, complex problems under pressure, often beyond the school curriculum. Even the strongest students often have limited experience with this style of thinking, and it is this gap that most frequently determines who receives an offer.

About
I have developed a rigorous and intuitive understanding of mathematics through research, lecturing, and real-world application.
-
I hold a PhD in mathematics and have held both postdoctoral research and university lecturing positions, with over eight years’ experience teaching mathematics at degree level.
-
Alongside academia, I have spent more than eight years as a research engineer, applying advanced mathematics across a range of industries in the UK and Europe.
-
I have coached students for over six years, supporting them in developing the depth of understanding and analytical precision required for success at the most competitive universities.
