University STEP (Maths) tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching STEP (Maths) at University.
STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper) is the Cambridge maths admissions test, also used by Warwick, Imperial and Bath, and is the gold-standard hard-maths admissions test in the UK. There are two papers (STEP 2 and STEP 3) covering pure, mechanics and statistics at a level beyond A-level Further Maths in difficulty, with three-hour papers and a small number of long, technically demanding questions. Tutoring helps most with the problem-solving habits — STEP rewards patience, multiple-attempt strategies and clean mathematical writing. Look for tutors with explicit STEP grades themselves (S or 1), ideally Cambridge maths graduates, and structured worked-solution experience.
University-level tutoring covers undergraduate and master's-stage support across UK and international degree programmes, ranging from foundational consolidation (first-year mathematics, programming, statistics) through to specialised dissertation and exam preparation. Demand concentrates around technical subjects (maths, engineering, computer science, economics, law, medicine), where assessment is unforgiving and lecture-hall pace leaves gaps. Tutoring helps most with conceptual blockers in core modules, with quantitative methods (econometrics, statistics, programming) that students from non-quant backgrounds struggle to self-teach, and with dissertation methodology and structure. Look for tutors with relevant postgraduate qualifications and ideally direct experience teaching or TA-ing the specific module type.
