Why work with me?

Applying to university can feel overwhelming, particularly when applying for competitive courses where the selection process goes far beyond your grades. Having successfully applied to both the University of Oxford and Imperial College London, I understand the challenges students face when making a strong application.

During my time at Oxford, I was heavily involved in outreach through both my college (The Queen’s College) and the Department of Chemistry, supporting prospective students and developing my understanding of the admissions process.

What happens during lessons?

After our initial consultation, I design a course of sessions based on the student’s specific goals and where they’re currently at in the application process. For example, for a student applying to study the MChem Chemistry course at the University of Oxford who is in the very early stages of the admissions process, I would recommend the following lesson structure:

• 1 lesson giving a general overview of Oxford admissions, college selection and the MChem course

• 1 lesson discussing initial personal statement ideas and recommending supercurricular activities

• 2-5 lessons developing and refining the personal statement

• 1 lesson discussing the interview process in detail and giving recommendations for preparation

• 3-5 mock interviews with detailed feedback given in each session, focusing on different areas of the course and developing skills
