MLAT Tutors : 1-1 MLAT Preparation

Hi there! My name is Grace. In 2023, I finished a French Literature MSt at Keble College, Oxford, for which I received a Distinction. I also completed a History and French BA for my undergraduate at Somerville College, Oxford and got a First Class. I’ve been tutoring for seven years now so I have lots of experience, and I really enjoy being able to help students wherever I can. Throughout my time in education, I always put my academic studies first, and I know how important it is to do your best in exams; I find it extremely rewarding when I can help students to achieve this. Having got all A*s in GCSE and A-Level, and successfully passed through Oxford’s rigorous admissions process, I know first-hand what is required to do well at all of these stages. I also really enjoy teaching students and hope that my enthusiasm will make their sessions enjoyable!

I am safeguarding trained.

Hi there, I’m Maryam! I’m a French and Arabic student at Oxford.

I homeschooled, sitting my GCSEs and A-levels by age 13. Having taught myself many of the exams I sat, I have a lot to contribute to the field of teaching. For many subjects I would have an hour or two of tuition/week so I know how to maximise limited tuition time to get the most out of it.

After those exams I worked as a digital marketer, where I learnt how to manage a sales team and gained a ton of experience. I was encouraged by my family to go down the business route but with a growing interest in language and philosophy, I rebelled by sitting more A-levels (French A*, Arabic A*, Maths A*).

I want to go into academia and become a teacher because I love the subjects I am doing. I also love working with kids, and, being the eldest of three siblings, it comes naturally to me!

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 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.

I’m Nick, an experienced educator and Head of Modern Languages, specialising in German tuition from GCSE to Degree level. I have a proven track record of helping students secure places at their desired universities, including colleges at Oxford.

I provide systematic preparation for the MLAT tests and offer interview coaching where needed. My teaching philosophy prioritizes deep understanding over rote learning, ensuring my students feel confident, well-prepared, and equipped for success.

I have a deep interest in the works of Ernst Jünger and Max Frisch, and gladly discuss German post-war (WWI & WWII) literature with my students. I have an affinity to works of German poetry and am very taken by the emotionalism that originated from the ‘Sturm und Drang’ movement of the late 18th Century.

In 2014, Rita Pierson’s TED Talk, “Every Kid Needs a Champion,” had a profound impact on me. Her insights resonated deeply with my educational values and reinforced the importance of fostering strong, meaningful relationships and ensuring all students have access to an enriching curriculum and an opportunity to succeed. This belief is personal to me. Removing anxieties and barriers to learning has become my core mission—whether supporting students or collaborating with colleagues. Celebrating young people’s individual achievements was the driving force behind my decision to become a teacher and subsequently a specialist tutor.

Hi,

I’m Hannah and I study French and Italian at university.

I’ve been tutoring for 3 years now and my teaching method is patient and understanding, whilst my lessons are engaging and effective.

I am super passionate about travelling, learning languages, dance and cooking.

I can also help with MLAT and personal statements.

My lessons will always meet your requirements and way of studying.

I have been studying French since I was 11 and I started learning Italian at university as ab initio.

Tutoring is not only beneficial for the student, however also for the student as well as teaching someone a subject always helps to consolidate your own knowledge and understanding of the subject.

I am a hard-working and passionate tutor and I look to tutor students with the same mindset as well.

I have just completed an MSt in Modern Languages (French & English) at the University of Oxford, following a BA in French & Philosophy.

I started Sixth Form with a science focus, however quickly fell in love with studying French literature which enabled me to gain a deeper cultural understanding of my French heritage.

Throughout my BA and MSt studies in French, I explored a broad range of early modern and modern French texts and how these sit within the wider cultural, historical and political context. In particular, I am familiar with the works of Molière, Racine, Hugo, Camus, Sartre, Beckett, Ionesco, Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Mérimée, Maupassant, Flaubert, Duras and Djebar, amongst others.

For my undergraduate coursework project, I was awarded the inaugural Clément Olympe Lavanne Prize in 2023 for the best performance in Francophone Literature, with a preference for French Caribbean Literature.

My postgraduate studies spanned three particular areas of research: Beckett’s Poetics of Ignorance; Law and Literature in France from 1450-1700; and Molière’s celebrity status in the 17th century French theatrical landscape.

Having studied arts, humanities and sciences up to IB, I can support with mathematics and science from KS1 to GCSE, as well as French and English Literature up to A-level / IB standard. I achieved 41/45 points for my IB (2019) with a 7 in French, 6 in Chemistry and 6 in Biology at Higher Level; following 12 GCSEs all graded A*-A / 7-9. I am a native French speaker and received extensive translation and essay writing training over the course of my undergraduate studies.

I am happy to help with any university personal statements, support MLAT and interview preparation, and offer general information about the Oxford Modern Languages and Philosophy courses as well as demystify the college system and university life more broadly.

I also love theatre, cinema, dance, music and travelling!

Hi there! My name is Tia and I am a recent graduate from the University of Oxford with a degree in French and Spanish. I have experience teaching French, Spanish and English to a range of students at all levels.

As a graduate in languages, I know exactly what foundations need to be laid to excel at French and Spanish, and I’m familiar with a range of exam boards. Having myself achieved 9s at GCSE in both languages, and A stars at A-Level, I am well-placed to support students. Beyond A-Level, I am keen to work with students who are prospective Oxbridge applicants. Having worked as an Open Day helper for the university, with experience running mock interviews for Christ Church, I know exactly what tutors look for in admissions and how to stand out.

My degree was centred around literature, and so I also enjoy tutoring English Language and English Literature to A-Level. I achieved 100% in both my English Language and English Literature GCSES (Edexcel) and I’m comfortable with a range of texts.
