Specialist Oxbridge mathematics tuition
Rigorous, highly personalised preparation for TMUA, STEP and Oxford or Cambridge mathematics interviews.

Tuition
Lessons are built around diagnosis, guided problem solving and careful feedback—not memorised tricks.
Oxford admissions
Oxford now uses the TMUA for Mathematics and related courses. Preparation develops fluency, precision and the ability to recognise structure under time pressure, with selected MAT problems still used where they sharpen deeper reasoning.
Cambridge admissions
STEP rewards sustained reasoning, elegant arguments and the ability to quickly choose a productive route. Tuition focuses on learning how to begin unfamiliar problems, tackle the most difficult questions and turn ideas into rigorous solutions.
Oxford & Cambridge
Mock interviews recreate the rhythm of an Oxbridge tutorial: thinking aloud, responding to prompts, testing conjectures and recovering constructively when the first approach fails.

Admissions success depends on far more than just mathematical ability. Good communication, confidence and the ability to thrive under pressure are particularly important. I tailor preparation to each student’s needs, helping them communicate their reasoning clearly and perform with confidence under pressure.
My most recent STEP student achieved the highest grade classification in both STEP 2 and STEP 3.
My two most recent Cambridge interview candidates both went on to receive offers.

About Kai
I studied Physics with Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London, graduating with First Class Honours, before completing Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Cambridge with Distinction.
I grew up by the sea in North Devon, on England’s southwest coast. Over the past six years I’ve lived in London and Cambridge, and I’ve spent time travelling through the Balkans, Australia, Southeast Asia, China and Japan.
My academic interests lie where geometry and theoretical physics meet: gauge theory, differential geometry, quantum field theory, string theory and twistor methods. I was subsequently offered a Cambridge PhD place in mathematical aspects of M-theory and quantum field theory.
I have taught mathematics and physics one-to-one since 2017. My teaching interests centre on proof, inventive problem solving and helping ambitious students make the transition from performing familiar techniques to thinking independently about unfamiliar mathematics.
Olympiad tuition: I also have extensive experience teaching British Mathematical Olympiad and British Physics Olympiad problems, and welcome enquiries from students seeking focused Olympiad preparation.
Academic work
Advanced mathematics cultivates patience, an eye for underlying structure and the confidence to think abstractly. Those habits shape my approach to admissions tuition.
