Written by the company

Edward Townsend Education is a specialist tutoring and university admissions preparation service founded by Edward Townsend, a Cambridge Engineering graduate. Edward and his team work with high-performing students - typically those already achieving A or high B grades - who are targeting A* results and competitive university offers at Oxbridge, Imperial, and similar institutions. His focus is on Maths, Physics, ESAT, and TMUA preparation. With over 750 hours of teaching experience, Edward takes a structured, diagnostic-led approach rather than offering ad hoc sessions. Each student begins with a detailed diagnostic to identify exactly where marks are being lost - not just in terms of topics, but in reasoning, timing, and exam technique. Preparation is then targeted precisely to what will make a material difference to outcomes. Edward recently successfully passed the Cambridge and Imperial admissions processes himself, giving him direct, current insight into what is required to secure top offers. His teaching emphasises performance under exam conditions, logical structure, and first-principles problem-solving. Past students have been admitted to Cambridge and Imperial and other top Russell Group universities. Edward holds a standard DBS check, which is verified and up to date.

Thank you for the kind review, Fred.

Excellent tutor!

We’ve had an excellent experience with Edward as a Maths and Physics tutor for my son. Over the past year, he has been consistently professional, reliable, and highly effective in his teaching.
What really stands out is his ability to break down complex topics into clear, manageable steps. My son has gained not only a much stronger understanding of both subjects, but also greater confidence in approaching challenging problems independently.
Edward is patient, encouraging, and adapts his teaching style to suit my son’s needs, which has made a significant difference to his progress. His support with exam preparation and problem-solving techniques has been especially valuable.
I would highly recommend Edward to any parent looking for high-quality support in Maths and Physics, as well as guidance with academic progression.
Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication.

Excellent tutor

Edward was really helpful and supportive to my son as a tutor. He was very knowledgeable in terms of subject expertise and also flexed his tutoring style to get the most of his tutee as not one size fits all. Very accommodating on scheduling and provided me with some really useful feedback to help my son outside of tutoring.
I would definitely recommend his tutoring services.

I recommend tutoring

Edward was of amazing help! It is clear he knew the ESAT specification well and i would definitely recommend atleast a few sessions with him as ESAT material is limited and acess to work solutions is difficult to find so having someone to help explain questions is definitely necessary.

Thank you for the kind review, Mayssa.

I’m very glad the sessions were helpful, particularly given how limited the ESAT resources can be.

Wishing you all the best going forward.
