Programmes and fees
Three kinds of engagement, sold as programmes with a defined scope rather than by the hour.
The fee is agreed on the first call, once the work is clear. Half on signature, half at the midpoint.

Fees are set on the introductory call, once the work is clear, because the right scope differs more between candidates than the market assumes.
What the fee buys is that the person doing the mathematics is the person you spoke to, and that he has done the job the process selects for. The first conversation is twenty minutes and costs nothing; the written assessment and the hour that follows it are £250, credited in full against any programme booked within a month.
How an engagement is scoped
Every programme is a written scope: the deliverables, the number of sessions, the dates. Half the fee on signature, half at the midpoint. If the fit is wrong inside the first two sessions the balance is refunded in full.
Sessions are with me. Not an associate, not a subcontracted tutor you meet after signing. There is written feedback between sessions. See how an engagement runs for the full sequence, or the common questions for the things people ask before committing.
What I do not do
Worth knowing before you enquire.
- Hourly tutoring as an entry point. New engagements begin as programmes, priced for the whole outcome rather than by the hour.
- IELTS, and standalone SAT or ACT. Excellent people do this at a fifth of my fee. Use one of them. GMAT and GRE are different — they sit inside an admissions programme.
- Writing your essays. I edit hard, sometimes brutally, but the words stay yours.
- Guarantees of admission. Nobody controls that outcome.
- Volume. A small number of engagements at any time.
