How Our CAT Tutoring Works
At KC Tutors, we provide tailored, high-quality tutoring designed to meet the unique needs of each student. Our approach is customised to suit your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, learning style, and the specific requirements of their Oxbridge CAT exam.
We deliver comprehensive tuition that covers all aspects of the CAT, including:
• Abstract Reasoning: Our tutors focus on developing the student’s ability to recognise patterns, sequences, and relationships in non-verbal problems, essential for the abstract reasoning section of the CAT. Through targeted practice, students improve their ability to identify logical patterns quickly and accurately.
• Verbal Reasoning: Students will improve their ability to comprehend written information, understand logical arguments, and make deductions. We guide students through a variety of exercises that sharpen their verbal reasoning skills, helping them tackle the verbal section with confidence.
• Quantitative Reasoning: In the quantitative section, students will develop their numerical problem-solving abilities, learning how to analyse data, interpret graphs, and solve complex mathematical problems. Our tutors focus on strengthening their mathematical foundations and problem-solving techniques.
• Practice and Exam Techniques: In addition to mastering content, we incorporate time management strategies, question prioritisation, and techniques to enhance exam performance. Practice tests and exercises are a key part of our approach, ensuring that students develop both the skills and the stamina needed for the exam.
Our tutors also provide:
• Mock exams and feedback: Simulating the CAT under timed conditions to give students a feel for the exam format and pressure. Detailed feedback after each session allows for targeted improvements.
• Personalised tutoring: We tailor each lesson to meet the specific needs of your child, focusing on their weakest areas and building on their strengths to maximise performance.
Focused preparation for Oxbridge applicants: Understanding the competitive nature of Oxbridge entry, our tutors ensure that students are prepared not just for the CAT but also for the expectations and high standards required by these prestigious universities.
