Profile
Sean
Mathematics, STEP
A Cambridge Mathematics graduate, Sean specialises in preparing students for STEP, drawing on his own experience of tackling the exams without specialist support at school.
Sean read Mathematics at Christ’s College, University of Cambridge, having completed both A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics in Year 12 with an average score of 97.5% and achieved an S grade in STEP III. As he attended a comprehensive school that could offer little STEP support, he understands the challenges students face at this stage and is passionate about helping them prepare for and pass these demanding exams.
Sean worked as an analyst at a financial firm in London and has built up broad teaching experience. He has mentored on the Cambridge Shadowing Scheme, supported a Year 11 Mathematics class for six months, taught STEP at Cambridge University workshops and tutored at an international summer school.
Sean models his lessons on the Cambridge supervision system. Each week he sets at least six questions and marks them in advance, then works through them in the session, highlighting what the student did well, where they struggled and how to refine their technique.
