I offer support for the following admissions tests:
- MAT (Mathematics Admissions Test) – For admission to Oxford Mathematics and Oxford Computer Science
- STEP (Sixth Term Examination Papers) – For admission to Cambridge and Warwick Mathematics
- TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission) – For admission to various courses at Imperial, LSE, Durham, Cambridge and Warwick
- PAT (Physics Admissions Tests) – For admission to Oxford Physics and Oxford Engineering
- ESAT (Engineering and Science Admissions Test) – For admission to various courses at Cambridge and Imperial [Please note I only offer support for the modules Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, and Physics. There are also modules in Biology and Chemistry – see below for which you have to take]
Please click the test you are planning to take to learn more about the support I can provide. For details of which admissions assessment you will take please click on the university you are applying to below.
Some colleges at Cambridge require candidates invited to interview for Mathematics or Computer Science to sit an additional assessment. Preparation for these can be integrated with sessions for other assessments or with general problem solving sessions for university admissions. See below for details.
When should I start preparation? I recommend starting preparation in January of Year 13 for STEP, or June of Year 12 for all other tests. For earlier preparation, you are likely to benefit more from general problem solving for university admissions sessions.
To discuss how best I can support you to success in these exams, book a free consultation today.

University of Warwick
Students applying to the following courses are required to sit TMUA and achieve a specific grade (varies year-to-year but usually around 5.0) or achieve a 2 in at least one STEP paper:
- Mathematics
- Mathematics and Statistics
- Data Science
- Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics
Note: I strongly recommend that students with the option to sit TMUA or STEP register for TMUA – most students find this test much easier to prepare for and succeed in.
Students applying to the following courses are required to sit the TMUA, unless eligibile for a contextual offer:
- Computer Science
- Computer Science with Business Studies
- Discrete Mathematics
Students applying to the following courses are required to sit the TMUA:
- Economics
- Economics and Management
- Economics, Politics and International Studies
Durham University
Applicants for Mathematics or Mathematics and Statistics are strongly encouraged to sit TMUA or STEP. A 5.0 in TMUA or a grade 2 in any STEP paper make an applicant eligible for a reduced offer.
Note: I strongly recommend that students with the option to sit TMUA or STEP register for TMUA – most students find this test much easier to prepare for and succeed in.
