Tutored over 900 hoursA*AA A-levels - PE/Biology/ChemistrySat the UCATSEN2900 UCATDyslexia support from a dyslexic4 offers for MedicineHelped over 150 students

Hi, my name is Arun and I am currently a 5th year medical student at Sheffield University. I had 4 interviews and received offers from all four. I am a well-experienced tutor having completed over 2000 hours of tutoring in a range of topics, from GCSEs and A-Levels to UCAT and interviews as well as university consultations

I was one of the few students to undertake the A-level exams in November 2020 after my exams were cancelled due to Coronavirus. I am dyslexic so I have weird and wonderful ways to remember critical information and I hope I can support prospective doctors (dyslexic or non) to achieve their dream of becoming a medical professional.

I was not labelled as your typical medical student by my school. I continued to persevere until I reached the goal that I set for myself, with the help of my family.

I hope we can work well together and achieve what you want, just like I did. 🙂

I’m Charlotte, a Graduate from the University of Cambridge with a Masters and BA in Physical Natural Sciences. I would love to help you achieve your academic potential! With a proven track record of academic excellence at GCSE, and A level (4 A*) I have maintained a wide scope of discipline whilst at university. Before finding a passion for History and Philosophy of Science this year, I have previously taken university modules in Mathematics, Physics, Materials Science and Earth Sciences, making full use of the diversity the Cambridge Natural Sciences course provides. With over 5 years tutoring experience in the sciences and maths, I have developed an enthusiastic and positive approach to help you achieve your potential. I’m a strong believer in practice exam questions as the key to success, so not only will I deal with the challenging concepts of the syllabus with clarity but teach you how to best apply this knowledge to an exam situation. I am unique in that as a Cambridge Organ Scholar I was able to apply to both Oxford and Cambridge, and thus have gone through the preparations for entrance exams and interviews for both institutions, before receiving an unconditional offer from Cambridge. This means I’m highly equipped to tutor both the NSAA and the PAT, as well as skilled at helping you to master the environment of the Oxbridge interview. I’m confident, concise, and committed to helping you achieve your fullest potential in your chosen academic avenue.

    Hello there, my name is Esin and I study Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. My degree is like any other Psychology degree, but with the added focus towards experimental design, statistics, and data analysis. In preparation for this degree, I took Biology, Maths, and Chemistry at school, as well as Psychology, to supplement my ability to interpret and produce scientific writing.

    Additionally, the Oxbridge application process is a distinct and memorable one, with interview styles being updated year to year. As a current Oxford student, I bring the advantage of having very recently gone through the application process myself and having friends in many different departments and degrees that can offer insights from their own recent experience.

    Besides my scientific and academic interests, I also play piano and took Music Theory in adherence to the ABRSM curriculum. I would be very happy to tutor in the area of Psychology and Human Sciences, Oxbridge applications, or music.

    Thank you for considering me for tutoring. I hope I can be of help by offering my skills and experience.

    First-class degree from Oxford3/3 students secured Oxford offers in 2025

    Hi, I’m Oli! I’m a recent first-class Music graduate from New College, Oxford. I have tutored in Oxbridge Music admissions for four years, with a strong record of guiding candidates to application success.

    I achieved top grades in Oxford across a broad range of topics, including Analysis & Criticism, Composition, SCART (stylistic composition), Performance, and Special Topics (music historiography). I am a flautist by trade, formerly the Principal Flute of Oxford Festival Orchestra and a side-by-side alumnus of the professional Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra. I am regularly booked as a concert soloist by 50+ venues, many of which involve taking music into community. I am also a freelance composer and arranger: several of my works have been performed in concert and I work regularly with Warner Music UK as a choir arranger.

    Outside of music, I am completing a postgraduate conversion course in Law and will begin as a Trainee Solicitor at a Music and Media specialist law firm in October 2026. Contrary to the popular myth, there really are many interesting and varied careers that a Music degree can lead you towards!

    I am an enthusiastic, capable, and experienced tutor in Music, who is passionate about unlocking the potential of each individual student. I hope to work with you soon!

    I started learning the piano when I was six and ever since then I have either been learning, performing or teaching music – and for the past ten years it’s been all three!

    I studied musical performance at college, then obtained a degree in ethnomusicology, all while working as a touring musician.

    Using fun and creative learning techniques, you can expect to improve your technical playing ability, gain an understanding of musical theory, develop skills in musical performance and ready yourself for collaborative musicianship if that’s what you want.

    I always had the most fun and engaged the most when I was learning the songs I liked at the time. I didn’t particularly like how music was taught at my school or doing grades but I would write songs on the guitar every night and teach myself my favourite songs by ear.

    I really look forward to every lesson with each student and want to share everything I can so you can get the most out of music

    Hi! I’m Isla, I’m 18 years old and a 1st year student at the University of Glasgow studying history and politics as a joint degree. I have always been passionate about these topics and would love to help people engage with them just as I did.

I achieved all A’s in my Nat 5’s and have 5 A’s at a higher level alongside 2 B’s at higher and an A and B at an advanced higher level. I am hugely passionate about written subjects and find them highly important in people’s development. I am also interested in music and perform frequently both with and without my guitar. I have been playing guitar since I was 9 and have been dedicated to it ever since. I love helping people learn and hope that through this I can help more people love the subjects as much as I do.
