Top University Interview Preparation: Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Ivy League & STEM Admissions | Cambridge-Trained Aerospace Engineer
course price icon
From 166.99 C$ /h
arrow icon
Prepare for top-university STEM interviews with personalised, high-level practice in mathematical, scientific, and technical problem-solving.

I have been preparing students for competitive university applications and interviews for more than 12 years, with many successful students reaching their desired universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Ivy League institutions, and other highly selective STEM programmes.

These lessons are designed for students applying to Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Ivy League universities, and other competitive institutions, especially for courses such as Maths, Physics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science, and related STEM subjects.

Top-university interviews are not just about knowing the syllabus. They test how you think, how you respond when a problem becomes unfamiliar, how clearly you explain your reasoning, and how well you recover when you get stuck.

In these sessions, we work on:

- Oxford and Cambridge interview preparation
- Imperial, Ivy League, UCL, Warwick, and other competitive STEM applications
- Maths, Physics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science, and related courses
- Technical problem-solving under pressure
- Mechanics, calculus, vectors, graphs, estimation, logic, algorithms, and modelling questions
- Mock interviews with live questioning and detailed feedback
- Thinking aloud, structuring explanations, and communicating assumptions clearly
- Personal statement discussion and follow-up questions
- Admissions-test-style problem solving where relevant
- Interview confidence, strategy, and recovery when stuck

Each session is tailored to the student’s target course, university, and current level. Lessons can include live mock interview practice, targeted technical questions, feedback on communication, and follow-up exercises between sessions.

My approach is rigorous, structured, and supportive. The aim is not only to practise questions, but to build the habits needed for high-pressure academic interviews: clear reasoning, flexible problem-solving, and calm confidence.

I hold a PhD in Mathematics from the School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London and I am an a Qualified Teacher (QTS) in the UK. I have extensive tutoring experience on undergraduate academic tutorials. My area of expertise is applied mathematics, including probability and statistics, R Statistical coding, Python, differentials equations, linear algebra and calculus.

I collaborate with some of the top tutoring and education consultant firms in London and I have a proven track record of successfully preparing students for their 11+, 13+, GCSEs and A-Levels in Maths, whether their goal is to enter independent/grammar schools or league table UK universities. I also have extensive experience with the mathematics section of the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) preparation, required by several international universities in Europe and the US.

I work closely with students from Portland Place School London, Kensington Park School, Francis Holland School Regent's Park, City of London School for Girls and Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle de Londres as well as Saint Mary Magdalene, William Ellis School and more.
I have also helped students gain entrance to top Russel Group UK institutions, such as Queen Mary University of London, London School of Economics, King's College London, University of Edinburgh and more.

I am currently a Teaching Associate for King's College London and Queen Mary University of London, teaching Calculus, Mathematical models, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability theory and Data science modules.

Moreover, I have a long experience in working with students having learning difficulties (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism) and I am certified by the Queen Mary Disability and Dyslexia Centre as a Support Worker.

I like to believe that I take a friendly approach to teaching and that my students are able to comprehend the subjects we discuss.

I am always aiming to identify and cover knowledge gaps in a student's understanding that otherwise keep adding up. Working as an independent private tutor since 2016, I am equipped with patience and a good perception of the student's weaknesses, as well as a broad knowledge of mathematical tools that come in handy in the process of properly explain concepts.
