admin Are you finding STEP Mathematics far more challenging than your regular A-Level or IB Mathematics syllabus?
Do standard school classes, tuition, or problem sheets feel insufficient for the depth, rigor, and creativity required by STEP?

You are not alone.
STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper) is not an extension of school mathematics — it is a fundamentally different level of thinking, designed to test mathematical maturity, reasoning, and problem-solving ability at a level expected by Cambridge, Imperial College London, Warwick, and other top universities.
This STEP 2026 Mentorship Programme is designed specifically for students who want serious, structured, and high-level preparation, under direct mentorship, not mass coaching.
Why STEP Is Different (And Why Most Students Struggle)
Most students preparing for STEP face one or more of the following challenges:
- STEP questions feel far removed from textbook problems
- You know the syllabus, but don’t know how to think
- Solutions feel non-obvious even after understanding the topic
- School-level A-Level Maths or Further Maths feels too procedural
- You struggle to write clear, complete, examiner-friendly solutions
- Past paper practice alone is not translating into improvement
STEP does not reward memorisation.
It rewards structured reasoning, creativity, depth, and clarity.
That is exactly what this mentorship focuses on.
What This STEP 2026 Mentorship Is
This is a highly selective, mentorship-driven programme conducted directly under Rishabh Kumar, not delegated to assistants or junior tutors.
This is not:
- A recorded course
- A mass batch
- A “problem dump” or shortcut-based training
This is:
- Direct guidance
- Deep mathematical training
- Long-term thinking development
- STEP-style problem-solving mastery
Who This Mentorship Is For
This programme is suitable for students who:
- Are targeting STEP 2026
- Are applying to Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, or similar universities
- Have completed or are studying A-Level Mathematics / Further Mathematics / IB Math AA HL
- Are comfortable with basic syllabus but struggle with STEP-level problems
- Want quality over quantity
- Are willing to think deeply, struggle productively, and improve systematically
This programme is not suitable for students looking for shortcuts, quick tricks, or last-minute crash courses.
Mentorship Philosophy
The core focus is not just solving STEP questions, but learning:
- How to approach unfamiliar problems
- How to break down complex questions logically
- How to choose the right method under pressure
- How to structure full-mark solutions
- How to communicate mathematics clearly and rigorously
You will learn how mathematicians think, not just what they calculate.
What You Will Work On
Core Areas Covered
- Algebra (advanced manipulation, inequalities, functional equations)
- Calculus (rigorous application, integration techniques, differential equations)
- Trigonometry (identities, transformations, geometry-based reasoning)
- Geometry & vectors (where applicable)
- Proof-based reasoning
- Multi-step, open-ended problems
STEP-Specific Training
- Reading and decoding STEP questions
- Identifying hidden structure
- Planning before solving
- Writing complete, examiner-friendly solutions
- Learning how marks are awarded
- Time management for STEP papers
How This Is Different From Typical STEP Preparation
| Typical Prep | This Mentorship |
|---|---|
| Focus on quantity | Focus on quality |
| Generic problem sets | Curated STEP-level problems |
| Solutions-first | Thinking-first approach |
| Group batches | Individual attention |
| Short-term | Long-term skill building |
Mode & Structure
- One-on-one or very small group format (highly selective)
- Long-term preparation leading up to STEP 2026
- Regular problem discussions
- Detailed feedback on written solutions
- Continuous refinement of thinking and structure
Exact structure will be shared after initial screening.
