Oxbridge Application Tutors : 1-1 Oxbridge Application Preparation

I recently graduated with a Masters in Global and Imperial History from the University of Oxford in June 2023 after having completed my Bachelors in History from Oxford in June 2022. At university, I was involved with various student societies, most recently having completed my term as Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Review of Books. Currently on a gap year, I am looking forward to tutoring students interested in academic study at Oxford or Cambridge, with a particular focus on the Humanities. I would love to hear from students who require extra help with school or academic work. Equally, I would be happy to provide ‘liberal arts’ tutoring for students interested in the Humanities that goes beyond the limits of a school curriculum and introduces them to the vast diversity of subjects and skills that the Humanities has to offer. This knowledge can be especially useful for students while writing EPQs or other forms of coursework as well as providing a good foundation before embarking on undergraduate study.

Hi,
My name is Aleksandra and I’ve just finished my 1st year of medicine at the university of Cambridge.I’m a friendly and approachable tutor and having recently been through the admissions process and A-levels myself I understand how stressful this can be. I hope to be able to pass on the skills,tips and tricks I have learnt during my academic journey to help you achieve your goals. I hope to be able to help with time saving strategies for the UCAT and BMAT as well as GCSE and A-level exam technique. I also have experience of both MMI, panel and Oxbridge interview styles and give constructive feedback to help you improve your answers.I also have experience volunteering as a mentor to help students with their university admissions focusing mainly on interview practice.I am a very patient tutor who aims to structure the lesson to match your needs. I hope I can help!

My name is Lizzie (she/her) and I am currently a final-year law student at the University of Cambridge (Queens’ College). I began tutoring four years ago as an A Level student and was consistently credited by tutees for my ability both to present complex information in an accessible form and to personalise my tutoring style. I have a superb academic record, achieving ten Grade 9s at GCSE, placing me at the top of the country, as well as three A Stars at A Level in English Literature, Economics and History. My academic success comes not from pure natural ability but from my diligence and determination, traits which put me in an ideal position to support tutees of all abilities with an approach based on harnessing their potential.

A strong belief of mine is that everyone can achieve their goals with the right direction, which inspired me to pursue tutoring at University. Volunteering for charities to provide admissions guidance to aspiring Oxbridge students allowed me to build a rapport with key individuals involved in the Oxbridge admissions process. These experiences honed my extensive knowledge of the admissions process and motivated me to begin sharing my expertise with tutees aiming to study law at Oxbridge. My excellence as a tutor is evident in the consistent success of my tutees in securing their top University choices, through a learning plan consisting of a mixture of legal workshops, analysis of legal texts, mock interviews and personal branding sessions, each designed to enhance the student’s confidence. Furthermore, I am an expert at supporting students in their LNAT preparation, having worked as one of the authors of an online LNAT resource platform.

My friendly nature and drive to go above and beyond expectations make me an ideal choice for a student looking for a tutor to prepare them for University admission to study law. Outside of academia, I hold a graduate position as a trainee solicitor at a leading US law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, am involved in musical theatre and volunteer as a welfare representative for students in my college.

Hello ! I am a multinational (Spanish and British) Cambridge University first class graduate (2025), who comes equipped with a highly interdisciplinary background and passion for learning new skills. My interests within architecture are currently enormously varied because the subject itself is so vast! , but primarily lie in museum design and curation, sustainability and bamboo construction, and theoretical discourse on phenomenology and space.

Having been panel interviewed and successful for a number of committee roles and achievements at different scales (Head Girl, university applications… as well as current internship interviews) I am well versed in interview technique and experience. I am able to provide general Oxbridge interview/ mock interviews for humanities subjects as there is a substantial overlap with what I study in my course (particularly humanities interviews). I specialise in architecture, and have made multiple professional portfolios (and continuously make one every term for my degree), with an eye for detail, and so as well as mock interviews and general advice, I will happily advise in this key area.

I did five A levels, six AS levels, so have been through pretty much most academic scenarios and can provide tips for efficient revision, and efficient time management, in the similar way that worked for me.

My highly interdisciplinary architecture degree also means I am trained in professional presentation skills (persuasive presenting of work at least four times every week to a crowd), graphic skills in rendering, photography and videography, and confidence in all Adobe software. Analytical, academic essays are also a substantial part of the course and I further hone my writing skills writing university articles for the Cambridge Language Collective, Climate Journals and producing graphics for an Arts Magazine.

My name is Emily and I am currently studying towards an MEng in Materials Science at The Queen’s College, Oxford. Prior to University, I attended a state grammar school where I was the sole student to get into Oxford. I have got lots of experience in mentoring students for Oxbridge interviews, and have helped many with proof reading and tailoring their personal statements, too, as this can be the outstanding factor when universities choose who to offer a place to! I am highly charismatic and enthusiastic about my studies, and hope this is reflected both in my teaching and also in the results I can obtain in my students, as I have found many times students struggle to understand concepts as they either lack motivation or it hasn’t been taught to them in such a way that they can easily grasp and understand. I firmly believe everyone learn even the most challenging of topics, it just needs to be viewed from a different perspective, as everyone thinks differently!

Hi there, my name is Ronan Goss and I am a recent 1st class land economy graduate at the university of Cambridge. Since I was 16 I have tutored various students in a range of subjects and levels, including mathematics, business and economics. Since then I have worked with a range of students for both GCSE and A-level, and I can work with exam boards such as Edexcel, AQA, IB, and WJEC. More recently I have tutored 8 students who have applied to Land Economy at Cambridge, assisting in personal statement writing, admission tests, and interview preparation. Some of these students have started or will be starting at Cambridge, with many others securing places at the UK’s most prestigious universities.

In my spare time I love to travel, and I am currently living in and around Portugal tutoring remotely. After travelling I have an offer to join a leading consulting firm based in the UK.

If you have any questions about my tutoring or would like to know more about my teaching please feel free to contact me!
