About Octavian

I am a full-time private tutor with an Oxford research background, specialising in entrance exam preparation for the UK's most selective schools and universities. I have been preparing students for 7+, 11+, 13+, and university admissions since 2009 — across Mathematics, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, interview skills, and subject-specific entrance papers.
The outcomes speak for themselves. A student I prepared gained admission to Eton College — his family described the preparation as covering not just the academic requirements but the intellectual composure and clarity of thought Eton values at interview. A student whose confidence in Physics had collapsed after a difficult year went on to receive an offer to read Physics at Oxford, following targeted preparation for the PAT and interview. A student arriving from the Gulf with no prior UK schooling achieved Grade 9s across Physics, Maths, Biology and Chemistry in his IGCSEs within eight months.
These results are not accidents. They come from preparation that goes beyond drilling past papers — building the reasoning ability, academic confidence, and intellectual maturity that the most selective schools are actually looking for.
My academic background spans Physics, Engineering, and Radiation Biology across Oxford, Paris, and Toulouse, and I taught at Oxford for over a decade. I know what these institutions look for because I have worked inside one of them.
I work with a small number of students at any one time and accept only those whose families are fully committed to the process. Places are limited — if you are preparing for a 2025 or 2026 entry, get in touch early.

Preparation for selective school and university entrance is not a single subject — it is a programme. The first thing I do with every new student is assess where they actually are: their reasoning ability, their written English, their mathematical fluency, and their confidence under pressure. Everything that follows is built around that assessment.
For 7+ and 11+, the focus is on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, mathematics, and English comprehension and writing — all developed to the standard the most selective London prep and independent schools require. I also work on the less tangible qualities these schools assess: how a child presents themselves, how they respond to unfamiliar problems, and how they perform when they know something matters.
For 13+, I prepare students for Common Entrance and scholarship papers, with particular focus on Mathematics and the sciences for students targeting Eton, Harrow, Winchester, and Westminster.
For Oxbridge and university entrance, I prepare students for subject-specific admissions tests — the PAT, MAT, STEP, and others — as well as interview technique. Interview preparation at this level is not about rehearsed answers. It is about developing the ability to think clearly and honestly about problems you have not seen before, which is precisely what Oxford and Cambridge tutors are trained to probe for.
Within 24 hours of every session I send the student fully typed notes of what we covered, theoretical reminders on the concepts that need further attention, and a written summary of where they stand and what to focus on before next time. Parents are copied in as standard. This is part of every lesson I teach, without exception. Progress is tracked systematically from the first session.
I teach in person across London and online. I have a strict no-cancellation policy for cancellations under 24 hours.
