Our ESAT tuition is tailored to each student's target university, course and individual strengths. Tutors identify the ESAT modules required and focus on areas where the student needs the most support, while developing the problem-solving skills needed to tackle unfamiliar mathematical and scientific questions. Students work through ESAT-style questions and practice papers to build speed, accuracy and confidence under timed conditions. Where appropriate, tutors can also support students with wider university admissions and interview preparation.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.

During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and your target course.
