About Me
University of Oxford Master's Graduate in Mathematics and Philosophy
• First Class Honours UG
• Awarded 2020 Gibbs Prize for performance in Mathematics examinations
I’m a professional tutor specializing in online tuition for Mathematics and Computer Science Oxbridge applications, with over 3000 hours total experience. I have a proven track record of success, helping 6 British and 8 international applicants last year receive Oxbridge offers for Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics & Philosophy and related subjects. In 2022 and 2023, a further 8 of my students secured Oxbridge Mathematics offers, with many also gaining admission to Imperial and LSE.
I offer original resources, including typed guides for every MAT & TMUA topic, challenging exercise sheets with 300+ questions, private mock papers, and an exclusive Oxbridge interview bank. These materials, refined through thousands of hours of student feedback, comprise my private textbook to boost your independent preparation.
Since mentoring at the Oxford Mathematical Institute for AMSP, my passion has been supporting students in admissions exams and interview preparation. I enjoy seeing students develop their own curiosity for mathematics, asking “What if?”, “Why not?” and using techniques creatively to solve problems. My lesson style mirrors the Maths tutorials that Oxbridge undergraduates have with their professors, in which we explore difficult areas of homework exercises and past papers to help you get the most out of each question that you do.
Tutor Experience
Oxbridge Maths admissions specialist with over 3000 hours experience coaching students to success in the MAT, TMUA, STEP, interviews and personal statement. Winner of the 2020 Oxford Gibb’s Prize for Performance in Mathematics. Oxford Graduate with First Class Honours in Mathematics and Philosophy UG. Proven track record of success, helping a total of 22 students receive Oxbridge offers in the past 3 years. Colleges include Balliol, Corpus Christi, Hertford, Merton, Mansfield, Exeter and Girton.
During my degree I worked as a Student Mentor at the Oxford Mathematical Institute, supporting pupils in their MAT preparation. I’ve led MAT, problem-solving and personal statement seminars, later going on to produce full video courses on the MAT, TMUA and Oxbridge Maths interviews. I am highly experienced with conducting mock interviews, especially with international applicants, teaching them how to articulate their thoughts, distil complex problems, and proactively generalize new concepts to show genuine enthusiasm.
I also tutor undergraduate Pure Maths and A-level Maths/FM. Modules I’ve tutored include Mathematical Methods, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Real and Complex Analysis, Groups, Rings, Set Theory, Differential Geometry, Fourier Series, Logic, Probability, and MVC for Economists.

Richard has been a fantastic tutor. He has helped me understand maths on another level, beyond just the numbers on a page. Richard's help with preparing for the MAT has made a significant difference to my preparation with exam specific strategies, and detailed resources to help with my preparation. He has helped me develop new perspectives for solving maths problems, which has allowed me to tackle a much greater number of problems in maths. Every session was very productive. Thank you, Richard. I am very grateful for your help.

I am excited to tell you that I have received an offer from Cambridge! Your tutoring definitely played a big part in the success. I was very comfortable speaking with the interviewers and showing what I am capable of doing, thanks to the preparation with you. Thank you - Gordon (2025 entry)
Your mock interviews were incredibly helpful with my Oxford application so thank you very much; I am very grateful. I’ve received offers from all the universities I applied to (including Oxford). These are as follows: Oxford, Bath, Bristol, Durham, Warick. These offers are all for maths and computer science, apart from Warick which is for discrete mathematics. Thanks - Ben (2025 entry for Mathematics & Computer Science)
Hi Richard — just wanted to follow up and send you a massive thank you for all your help. Scored 81 on the MAT, had a decent interview, and Merton formally/officially/bureaucratically approved the transfer last week…I’m now a Maths and Philosophy student! Thank you :D - Lydia (2024 entry)
Just so you know, I have received an offer this morning for Exeter College (the college I was allocated to via the open application). Thank you so much for your help in achieving this, all the best. - Bernie (2024 entry)
