STEP Tutoring Frequently Asked Questions
The Profs’ STEP tutors provide structured STEP tutoring designed for Cambridge university entrance and Oxbridge admissions routes. STEP tuition focuses on advanced mathematics, logical reasoning and exam accuracy. Students benefit from experienced tutors, clear learning frameworks and targeted help with STEP questions, with 93% of undergraduate students reporting grade improvement and strong results across admissions-focused exams.*
How do STEP tutors improve results in STEP exams?
STEP tutors teach students how to interpret complex questions, structure mathematical arguments and manage exam time effectively. STEP tutoring sessions focus on exam technique, question selection and presentation, helping students demonstrate mathematical understanding expected by Cambridge and Oxford. Tutors use official STEP exam material and provide detailed feedback to support improvement.
Online STEP tutors deliver STEP tuition through live video sessions using shared whiteboards, screen-sharing and recorded lessons. Online STEP tutoring allows students to revisit explanations, practise questions independently and receive structured help between sessions. This online approach supports consistent learning and flexible scheduling for school and university students.
What tools do online STEP tutors use during tutoring sessions?
STEP tutors use BitPaper whiteboards, shared documents and screen annotation to explain mathematics concepts clearly. Sessions are recorded, allowing students to review learning and reinforce exam preparation. Tutors provide follow-up tasks and written feedback to support STEP preparation.
STEP tutors at The Profs include Cambridge graduates, Oxford alumni and mathematics specialists with extensive admissions experience. Over 98% of tutors hold postgraduate degrees and 45% hold doctorates. Average teaching experience exceeds 10 years, ensuring students receive reliable help from an expert team familiar with STEP exams and admissions expectations.
Do STEP tutors understand university admissions and STEP requirements?
Yes. Tutors understand how STEP results fit into university admissions decisions, particularly for Cambridge mathematics programmes. STEP tutoring aligns exam preparation with admissions criteria, helping students prepare for STEP exams alongside interviews and broader admissions processes.
STEP tutoring programmes support GCSE, IGCSE, A-level and university-level mathematics students. Tutors help students progress from school mathematics to advanced STEP maths, ensuring strong foundations before tackling STEP exams required for Cambridge and other university programmes.
Can STEP tutors help students transition from A-level maths to STEP exams?
STEP tutors help students bridge the gap between A-level mathematics and STEP exam difficulty. Tutoring focuses on problem-solving, proof-based thinking and exam discipline. Students often combine STEP tuition with broader mathematics tutoring and admissions preparation.
STEP tutoring starts from £60 per hour for school-level tuition and from £75 per hour for undergraduate support. Specialist admissions and STEP preparation is priced from £150 per hour. A £70 placement fee applies once a tutor is approved. Most students are matched with a STEP tutor within 1–2 working days.
Do STEP tutors offer structured programmes or ongoing tutoring?
Yes. STEP tutors offer structured tutoring programmes, including weekly sessions and intensive exam preparation blocks. Typical placements begin with a two-hour session, with a minimum five-hour commitment recommended to support effective learning and exam readiness.
