IB TMUA tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching TMUA at IB.
The Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA) is used by Cambridge (for some courses), LSE, Warwick, Bath, Durham, Sheffield, Lancaster and others, primarily for economics, computer science and some maths courses. It has two sections — applications of mathematical knowledge (AS-level content) and mathematical reasoning (logic and proof). It's less hard than STEP but rewards different skills. Tutoring helps most with the reasoning section, which is unfamiliar to most A-level students, and with the timing — the test is short and dense. Look for tutors with TMUA preparation experience and access to the Cambridge Assessment past papers and specimens.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
