Step Into My Shoes provides tuition in person and/or online for students sitting the NSAA (Natural Sciences Admissions Assessment) entrance exam. For students interested in preparing this test, please register your interest or email info@stepintomyshoes.co.uk.

“The purpose of the Natural Sciences Admissions Assessment is to determine a candidate’s potential to achieve in an academically demanding undergraduate degree course. Questions draw upon a candidate’s ability to use and apply their scientific and mathematical knowledge. The assessment is designed to be challenging in order to differentiate effectively between able applicants, including those who may have achieved the highest possible grades in school examinations.”

Why Choose Step Into My Shoes?

  • To the best of our knowledge, we are the only private providers of admissions test preparation courses in the UK across several weeks. We believe that spreading classes across multiple weeks rather than cramming material into a weekend session or day, is the best and most effective way of preparing students for the test. All the science behind revision suggests we are right.

  • Our course preparation includes a focus on test strategy and technique.

  • We believe in homework and that students learn best by doing. Our curated handouts are designed to help students digest and master the concepts learned in the classroom through further practice at home.

  • We believe in the benefits of group study. It allows for differing approaches and knowledge to be shared broadening one’s understanding of a subject and enhancing thinking skills. This is also particularly useful for students sitting subject interviews at a later date.

Student Testimonials:

“Being able to tackle the same problem in more than one way is something I have improved at with the help of the teacher - visualising the questions differently has made me better at problem solving as well. I believe I would not be as confident in tackling exam questions without this course.”

"The structure of the lessons was very useful - by providing a short introduction to the topic and a categorised problem sheet, I felt I was much more able to focus on each topic. The examples given were also very useful in outlining the thinking required.”

“The session is very interactive. I’ve learned so much from only four lessons. Every single question I raised was explained fully. I also learned new techniques to tackle problems.”

“I am very grateful to Step Into My Shoes for giving me proper support and guidance for my university entrance exams. I would definitely recommend the course. Thank you so much for all your help!”

“Your services were really excellent - thank you and your colleagues! I would like to tell people about your company and the NSAA course. Is there a place one can submit reviews - perhaps a professional community? I was sincerely impressed and grateful.” Sonia

"Every week I learnt new methods for solving questions, I feel more confident about how to approach solving more complicated questions that need a creative approach. I am more confident in my ability, I liked doing the questions at home and in class. I would recommend because I enjoyed and benefitted from the class." Rose

"Different graphs and the same method to tackle all of them.Now I can use the same steps that I've learnt tackling these questions to help me think about the answers to other questions. It has given me the confidence to think out loud and not be afraid to make mistakes." Nikita

"Great sessions which gave a lot of questions to practice with for work at home. The teacher was great and really knew his stuff. Maths and Physics concepts were explained in unique ways which made harder problems seem simpler. The course is great as it not only helps with the entrance test but is also a great way of preparing for your interview." Ahad

"I think this course really improved my problem-solving skills in lots of different areas of the syllabus. The diversity of topics covered and relating exercises to examples we understand kept the lessons lively, enjoyable and fun! I am now more capable of solving tricky questions thanks to useful tricks and would therefore recommend it to anyone wanting to take the ENGAA exam or any other related assessments. I found this course great!" Clement

"The course was very helpful in developing my thinking skills & logic, and I learnt lots of new mathematical methods that I can apply to MAT questions." Carys
