Sofia Gilardini — Principal Tutor

University of Oxford PhD (Statistics & Machine Learning, in progress)
University of Cambridge MPhil (Machine Learning)
University of Edinburgh BEng (Electrical & Mechanical Engineering)

I combine rigorous mathematical training with practical teaching methods that make concepts intuitive and memorable. Lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each student's goals—whether that's building confidence at GCSE, excelling at A-Level, or preparing strategically for university entrance exams.

My approach focuses on developing deep understanding rather than superficial memorization, ensuring students not only achieve their immediate academic goals but also build the mathematical thinking skills that will serve them throughout their academic and professional careers.

Having navigated the UK education system from undergraduate through to doctoral level at three prestigious institutions, I understand exactly what top universities are looking for and how to prepare students for success at the highest level.
