Our Tutors

Our consultants are supported by a network of over 1000 outstanding Oxbridge-graduate tutors, many of whom were supported by Oxbridge Applications when they applied.

A number of our graduate tutors have gone on to pursue further study and now work for us on a part-time basis.

All of our tutors are interviewed by a member of staff before we invite them to join Oxbridge Applications. Following the phone interview, tutors are recommended for specific roles, whether that be interviewing, working at our in-school events, supporting students with their admissions tests or subject-specific mentoring. Tutors receive in-depth training from the Oxbridge Applications team, as well as from external interview specialists to help them give the best possible support to students.

We constantly review our tutors based on their feedback and results to ensure that the students we work with are receiving outstanding subject-specific guidance and advice at every stage of their application. 

Here is a selection of some of the tutors we currently work with:

Reading Recommendations

Our tutors come from a variety of backgrounds and locations and, as you can see, their interests are manifold and diverse.  What they do have in common is a passion for their subject and the curiosity to keep asking questions and acquiring new knowledge.

Our reading room is packed full of books, blogs and articles recommended by our tutors to ensure that you have access to the best material for your subject.  This is essential not only in order to write a convincing personal statement, but also to give interesting, relevant and well-considered examples in your admissions test and interview.
