With an MMath in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, I focus on developing the precision and depth of thought required to succeed in STEP. My sessions are structured around building a strong conceptual foundation, encouraging students to think independently and articulate their reasoning clearly. I integrate past paper strategies and reflective problem analysis, helping students recognise patterns, avoid common pitfalls, and approach each question with confidence and rigour.

With an academic foundation in pure mathematics from Cambridge, I specialise in preparing students for the STEP exam through structured reasoning and analytical depth. My sessions are centred around cultivating mathematical maturity—guiding students to explore elegant solutions, dissect unfamiliar problems, and articulate their thinking clearly. I encourage strategic reflection after each problem, helping students build the habits needed for high-level success in STEP.

I’m Samuele, a STEP-focused tutor currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics. With a background in English Literature from Cambridge and years of professional test-prep experience, I bring a unique cross-disciplinary approach to problem-solving. My STEP preparation style blends deep conceptual training with strategic test insight, helping students tackle even the most unfamiliar problems with clarity and confidence. I specialise in building analytical thinking through tailored sessions that demystify complex ideas.

I hold an MA in Education from King’s College London and specialise in STEP preparation for students aiming for top university maths courses. My approach focuses on cultivating precise logical reasoning and structured problem-solving through a blend of challenge and encouragement. Drawing from a strong academic and teaching background, I guide students through complex mathematical ideas with clarity, helping them develop both confidence and accuracy in tackling STEP-style questions.
