Francesca S.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge, where I read physical natural sciences (specialising in materials science) and now a postgrad at UCL, pursuing an MSc in science policy & communication. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in science and maths. I've a strong track record working with students, assisting with GCSE and A Level content revision and exam preparation. I also specialise in university admissions, including applications to Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial. I help students with personal statements, Imperial / Oxbridge admissions assessments (ESAT, PAT), and interview prep. I have conducted hundreds of Oxbridge-style mock interviews for a range of STEM subjects.

I have over 5 years of tutoring experience, both online and in-person. The majority of my teaching involves one-to-one sessions, but I've also facilitated small-group sessions. I've taught students of various ages and abilities, ranging from KS1 pupils with learning difficulties to year 5/6 pupils preparing for SATs and 11+ entrance exams, as well as adult learners retaking exams or applying to university later in life. I now focus on KS3 onwards, including GCSE, A Level and UCAS / university admissions processes. My broad tutoring background has allowed me to develop my communication skills, and I ensure that each session is tailored to the individual student. I emphasise confidence-building and adapt my tutoring approach, depending on the student's goals.
