About Nathan
I'm a Cambridge engineering graduate and qualified maths teacher (PGCE with QTS, Distinction in Mathematics with SEND), based in Leeds. I've tutored one-to-one for over a decade and currently run my own practice.
I prepare students for Oxbridge admissions in mathematics and engineering — ESAT, PAT, STEP, TMUA, and MAT — along with personal statements and interview practice. Having been through the Cambridge admissions process myself, I know what the tests actually reward: not knowledge, but reasoning under pressure, and the ability to explain your thinking clearly when someone pushes back on it.
I teach because I've seen how often the barrier isn't ability but confidence — and how quickly that changes once a student is taught in a way that makes sense to them. That's especially true with admissions tests, where a student who has been top of their class can suddenly feel out of their depth. My job is to make the unfamiliar feel tractable.

Every programme starts with a diagnostic session to establish exactly where understanding breaks down — usually earlier than the current topic. From there, I build a plan around the student's actual gaps rather than re-teaching what they already know. Sessions focus on exam technique, timing under pressure, and the reasoning these tests reward. I set and mark work between lessons, and report progress to parents regularly.

I worked with Nathan while preparing for the CIMA and he made a real difference to how I approached the material. He explained difficult topics clearly, often using practical examples that made the concepts easier to remember, and was patient whenever I needed something covered again from a different angle.
What stood out most was how well he understood the exam itself. He helped me focus on what was most likely to come up, showed me how to structure answers, and gave useful feedback on my practice questions. Sessions were well organised, and he tailored them to the areas where I was weakest rather than following a fixed script.Nathan possesses all the qualities of an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm for mathematics is infectious, and he has a remarkable talent for making complex concepts accessible to learners of all abilities. He communicates with clarity and patience, both in explaining mathematical principles and in providing constructive feedback. Students consistently praise his ability to build their confidence while challenging them to achieve their best.
What sets Nathan apart is his genuine commitment to education. He takes time to understand each student's individual needs and adapts his teaching approach accordingly. His work preparing students for Oxbridge admissions and challenging exams like STEP and TMUA demonstrates his ability to nurture high achievement while fostering a love of learning. He keeps abreast of curriculum developments and continually seeks to improve his teaching practice.
Nathan works exceptionally well as part of our tutoring team, supporting colleagues and contributing to resource development. His professionalism, reliability and collaborative approach make him a valued member of our organisation.am writing to express my deep appreciation and wholehearted recommendation for Nathan who has been an invaluable tutor and mentor to me over the past few years. Throughout my academic journey, which has been challenging due to the complexity of my major, Nathan has consistently gone above and beyond to simplify difficult concepts, making them accessible through clear explanations and practical, real-life examples.
One of Nathan's greatest strengths is his ability to adapt his teaching style to the needs of the student. Whenever I struggled to grasp a particular method or concept, he would patiently explore various different approaches until I fully understood. His dedication to ensuring that I could visualize abstract concepts in a way that made sense to me has been instrumental in my academic success.
Beyond his technical expertise, Nathan has been a constant source of support and encouragement. His passion for teaching and genuine desire to see his students excel has inspired me to push through even the most difficult challenges. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to helping me succeed.
I have no doubt that Nathan would be an asset in any teaching or mentoring capacity. He possesses not only exceptional knowledge but also the rare ability to make complex subjects engaging and comprehensible. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated, talented, and compassionate tutor.I’m happy to provide a reference for Nathan.
Courses Nathan has assisted me with include Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance, Financial Markets, Analytics, M&A, Artificial Intelligence, Operating Systems, Computer Vision, and Computational Models. He has an amazing ability to seamlessly navigate between different fields and grasp intricate concepts. His guidance not only made my transition from the tech world to finance enjoyable but also made it seem effortless, easily explaining complex finance concepts. During my time at MIT Sloan's MFin program, I frequently sought Nathan's expertise to dissect financial cases and gain his valuable insights. More recently, Nathan played an important role in bridging the gap between my financial markets coursework and the knowledge I had in machine learning, showing its relevance, applicability, and advantages in the finance field. Not only is Nathan a professional but also a pleasure to work with; very reliable, approachable, humble, and always positive. His mentorship has been an invaluable asset throughout my journey.See more recommendations
