Alex

Hello,

I’m Alex Rodway. I graduated from Jesus College, Oxford University in June 2023 with an integrated undergraduate and master’s degree in biology.

I achieved 4 A*s at A-level and 12 A*s at GCSE.

I have a lot of experience tutoring at GCSE and A-level standard in science, maths and language subjects. I am bilingual in English and French. I have also tutored students for Oxbridge interviews, with two students successfully achieving places at Oxford and Cambridge for biology and natural sciences, respectively.

At University, I founded and acted as the president of a podcast society called OxPods (https://linktr.ee/oxpods). This involved students interviewing professors on niche aspects of their chosen subject in an accessible way to the wider public. One of the main purposes of this was in access – it gives prospective Oxbridge applicants a taste of what education at the University is actually like, and aims to help them prepare for entrance exams and interviews. It also aimed to provide a platform to allow students that may not otherwise have access to such high-level research, the opportunity to consume information in an easily digestible way.

This helped develop my skills in communication, simplifying information, organisation, and understanding the thought processes of Oxford professors, which is of vital importance for entrance interviews.
