About Sophie

I'm a third-year Mathematics student at the University of Oxford, specialising in pure mathematics and mathematical analysis. I've been tutoring A-Level and GCSE students for four years and absolutely love seeing the moment something clicks.


My approach is built around understanding — not memorising. I believe every student can succeed in maths when it's explained in the right way for them. Sessions are structured but relaxed, and I always leave time for questions.


Outside of tutoring, I help run Oxford's maths outreach programme for state school students, which has given me real insight into the barriers students face and how to overcome them.

A-Level Maths

My son went from a predicted C to an A* in his mocks after just 8 sessions with Sophie. She's incredibly patient and always explains things multiple ways until it clicks. Absolutely brilliant tutor — we can't recommend her highly enough.

Further Maths

Sophie helped my daughter with Further Maths ahead of her A-Level exams. She really knows her subject inside out and has a great ability to make complex topics feel manageable. Always on time, always prepared.

GCSE Maths

I was really struggling with algebra and Sophie completely changed the way I think about it. She's friendly and never makes you feel bad for not understanding something. Got a 9 in my mocks!
