Eton King’s Scholarship Maths Tuition, Past Papers and Solutions

“Tom worked with our 12-year-old son in preparation for a high profile senior school scholarship. Tom is highly experienced with the format and demands of scholarship papers, which allowed for focused, targeted preparation. His calm, structured approach helped build confidence and sharpen our son’s problem-solving skills. His impact was immediate and exceptional. What stood out most was the effect Tom had on our son’s motivation — he genuinely looked forward to each session, and we have rarely seen him so fired up and intrinsically motivated about progressing in a subject. We have worked with several tutors over the years, but none had such a rapid positive impact. We recommend Tom without hesitation.” Parent of Eton King’s Scholarship Candidate

Specialist Eton King’s Scholarship Maths Tuition

The Eton College King’s Scholarship (13+) Mathematics examinations are designed to challenge even the most mathematically gifted candidates. Success demands far more than syllabus knowledge — it requires creative problem-solving, lateral thinking, mathematical structuring, and unfamiliar pattern recognition.

I provide bespoke, 1-to-1 mathematics coaching specifically engineered to prepare candidates for the rigour of these scholarship papers (Mathematics A as well as the tougher optional Mathematics B paper where selected).

Why Prepare With Me?

1st Class Honours Oxford Graduate: Masters in Mathematics (MMath) from New College, Oxford.
Qualified Teacher (QTS/PgCE): Formal teacher training from the UCL Institute of Education, combining pedagogical expertise with top-tier subject mastery.
13+ Years’ Experience: Over a decade of dedicated 1-to-1 tutoring with a proven track record of placing candidates at top independent schools.
Proven Scholarship Track Record: My students have gained 13+ scholarships at schools such as Eton, Westminster, Brighton College, St Dunstan’s and The 1729 School (the sole scholarship awarded in the first year that the school opened). Students have also achieved top UKMT Olympiad placings with recent successes including a student placing 4th in the country in the Year 8 Junior Mathematical Olympiad (JMO) whilst only in Year 7 and a gold for another student in the Hamilton IMO competition (top 20 in the country).

Mastering Eton Maths Papers

Eton scholarship papers do not assess just knowledge. Questions, especially in the B paper, are engineered to test how well a student thinks on their feet when faced with unfamiliar problems. My tuition focuses on:

Deconstructing Complex Worded Problems: Breaking down non-standard questions into manageable logical steps.
Mathematical Rigour & Proof: Developing clear, strategically-laid-out and concise written solutions that earn full marks from scholarship examiners.
UKMT & Olympiad Techniques: Drawing on advanced problem-solving strategies, parity, modular arithmetic, and geometric methods.

Tuition Format

Lessons are held online with an interactive virtual whiteboard (utilising a digital stylus tablet or iPad with pen for real-time collaborative working) or in-person in Putney, London.

Looking for tuition for other levels? I offer tuition for all school ages – Years 1 to 13.
