A-level MAT (Maths admissions) tutors in London

The Maths Admissions Test (MAT) was Oxford's admissions filter for undergraduate maths, computer science, and joint courses from 2007 to 2025; its final sitting was October 2025, and from the 2026 cycle those applicants sit the TMUA instead. Imperial and Warwick, which previously accepted MAT scores, had already moved to TMUA. The MAT's past-paper archive (published freely by Oxford, with worked solutions) remains a well-regarded problem-solving bank, and tutors still use it as supplementary practice for TMUA and STEP preparation. For current-cycle admissions coaching, look for tutors with TMUA experience; see the TMUA listing.

A-levels are sat at the end of Year 13 (age 17-18) and are the standard UK university-entrance qualification, with most students taking 3 subjects (sometimes 4 plus an EPQ). Grades A*-E feed UCAS, and competitive university courses set offers at AAA or higher. Tutoring helps most with the step up from GCSE: A-levels demand independent learning, denser content, and exam technique that rewards structured argument or method-mark-aware working. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, CIE) diverge meaningfully, so match the tutor to the spec, especially in maths, sciences and modern languages where assessment differences are sharp.
