Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Across eight years I have tutored over 120 students, tailoring ESAT preparation, mock interviews and personal-statement workshops to each applicant. Within the last two admissions cycles, 95 % secured places at their first-choice colleges—many for Veterinary Medicine. I craft bespoke study plans, timed drills and examiner-style feedback, ensuring conceptual mastery and exam fluency. My background in Vet Med sharpens my insight into the analytical thinking Oxbridge demands. I also collaborate with parents, tracking progress and refining goals weekly.

Tutoring Approach

Every lesson begins with diagnostic questions to pinpoint gaps, followed by concise teaching and timed practice that mirrors real ESAT sections. I use Socratic questioning to deepen reasoning, annotate model answers live and set micro-targets so improvements are measurable. Regular mock interviews cultivate composure and articulate thinking, while personal-statement drafts receive line-by-line feedback until every word earns its place.
