MLAT Tutors : 1-1 MLAT Preparation

Hello! I’m Lauren and I have just graduated from the University of Oxford in Modern Languages (Spanish and Russian). This is my second year working with Study Mind, where last year I successfully helped several students gain admission into Oxford University. Outside of academia, I like to stay active, playing rugby for Oxford’s first team. I enjoy travelling and immersing myself in other cultures, which I did a lot of on my year abroad: I have lived and worked in Russia, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, Hungary, and Kazakhstan! Living in foreign countries (often on my own) has made me an outgoing, enthusiastic, and proactive person. It was a very different experience to living on the farm I grew up on in coastal Wales!
I’ve had such a positive experience studying and living in Oxford, and I am excited to share what I have learned with others who are aspiring to study here too. I am happy to give advice on personal statements, interviews, or admissions tests, as well as tutoring GCSEs and A-Levels in a variety of subjects.
Please feel free to reach out!

I am a recent graduate of the University of Oxford, with a BA in Modern Languages (Italian and Spanish). Prior to attending The Queen’s College, Oxford, I achieved A* in Spanish, A* in Art and Design, and A in English Literature at A Level. Over the course of my degree I acted as Student Ambassador and Equalities Officer, and was the President of the Oxford University Cheerleading Squad.

With a wide variety of experience in teaching in a classroom as well as in a one-to-one environment, I am well-placed to provide tuition at Key Stage 2 – 5. I am up to date on examination syllabi and am confident in making my students aware of the requirements for achieving top marks. I am a friendly, patient, and enthusiastic tutor who endeavours to connect with my students personally and encourage them to feel comfortable and confident in their academic abilities.

I am a second-year physics student at the University of Cambridge, passionate about making complex scientific ideas accessible and engaging. My experience spans tutoring, organizing international physics competitions, and conducting cutting-edge research at CERN or IBM. I have helped students succeed in university admissions, guiding them through challenging physics and mathematics concepts with a clear, structured approach.

Beyond tutoring, I co-organized the Physics Brawl, the world’s largest team-based physics competition, with over 1,200 teams from 60+ countries. I have also produced educational videos that simplify advanced physics topics, making them accessible to pre-university students. My research at CERN on the proANUBIS particle detector has deepened my expertise in experimental physics and data analysis.

In addition to academic achievements, I have secured multiple scholarships and awards, recognizing both my academic excellence and contributions to education. My experience with competitive exams and scholarship applications allows me to help students not just master their subjects but also maximize their potential in securing educational opportunities.

I am a recent graduate from Oxford University (Summer 2024) where I studied Italian for 4 years, including a year living in Italy (I, also, studied Linguistics but I did not do enough papers to be an ‘official’ Italian and Linguistics graduate). Although my academic experience was focused on Italian, I would be confident in prepping any applicants for their interview no matter the language they have selected. The reason being is that Oxbridge language interviews are focused primarily on a candidate’s confidence in discussing literature, a conversation which always takes place in English. Importantly, however, the aforementioned confidence should not be misinterpreted as ‘ability’ – interviewers are not testing the extent of your knowledge of literature in general, nor is this expected of you – rather, they want to see how you can cope in a learning environment (such as, tutorials). There is a basic level of literary analysis that each candidate should have in hope of receiving an offer and I promise to help them reach this level.
