MAT (Maths admissions) tutors

The Maths Admissions Test (MAT) is required for Oxford undergraduate maths, computer science, and joint courses, and used by Imperial and Warwick. It's a 2.5-hour test covering A-level and AS-level pure maths content, with the difficulty in the application rather than the syllabus — questions reward problem-solving over technique. The first multiple-choice section sets the pace; the longer questions demand sustained mathematical writing. Tutoring helps most with the long-form questions and with pacing under timed conditions. Look for tutors with explicit MAT preparation experience, ideally Oxbridge maths graduates, and access to past papers and the Oxford-published worked solutions.
