Expert ESAT course
Designed by a Cambridge scholar. For students at every stage of preparation.
Course Director
Dr Leonardo Pierobon
Senior Scholar of Trinity College, University of Cambridge · Natural Sciences graduate · PhD in Nanomagnetism
I help students gain admission to top 10 UK universities, including Oxbridge, with a 100% success rate. I designed this course and trained expert tutors to help students develop the problem-solving skills and confidence needed to excel under the intense time pressure of the ESAT.
Who is this course for?
For ambitious students at any stage of preparation
- Starting now? You do not need to have completed any prior ESAT preparation.
- Already revising? The course will push you towards faster, more strategic problem solving.
Individual tutoring ensures the course is adjusted to your needs based on your questions and feedback.
Everything you need to maximize your performance:
- Learn content and exam strategy shaped by years of admissions experience
- Improve time management
- Avoid common traps and careless mistakes
- Get targeted homework with personal feedback
Your course includes
Initial mock paper to assess your current level and knowledge gaps.
Six focused problem sets covering specific topics aimed at strengthening your ESAT problem-solving skills.
Six 45-min private lessons with an expert tutor and personal feedback on your homework.
Course content
What you’ll cover
Lesson 1 · Algebra and functions
Exponents, logarithms, surds, equations and inequalities, function graphs and transformations. Develop faster algebraic manipulation and recognise shortcuts to reduce unnecessary calculation and save time.
Lesson 2 · Mechanics
Motion, forces, momentum and energy. Learn to turn complex physical situations into simple models, identify the relevant principles quickly, choose and combine equations efficiently.
Lesson 3 · Geometry and trigonometry
Angles, circle rules, geometric shapes, the unit circle, trigonometric equations and identities. Develop the ability to break complex diagrams into simpler components, recognise useful geometric and trigonometric relationships, and select the most efficient approach to avoid lengthy calculations where a shorter route is available.
Lesson 4 · Thermal physics and electromagnetism
Matter, pressure, temperature and thermal processes alongside electrical quantities, circuits and electromagnetism. Use proportionality, ratios, and units to simplify unfamiliar problems, and combine physical principles effectively.
Lesson 5 · Probability and calculus
Probability and statistics alongside differentiation, integration, rates of change, vectors and mathematical applications. Learn to organise information efficiently, work backwards, test cases and identify the shortest route through multi-step problems.
Lesson 6 · Waves and nuclear physics
Wave fundamentals, refraction, standing waves, interference, atomic physics and radioactivity. Use proportional reasoning, graphs and algebraic relationships to predict behaviour, break unfamiliar questions into manageable steps, and apply familiar principles confidently in new contexts.
Who you’ll be taught by
An expert tutor from my small, carefully selected ESAT team, with admissions experience, a proven track record, and specific training in ESAT preparation.
