During my university application tuition sessions I typically follow this process: firstly, I establish the subject and universities which the student would like to apply to, as this affects the way the personal statement will be written. Secondly, I show a number of exemplar personal statements (which other successful students have kindly offered). From this, I help student establish a structure for their personal statement; I offer tips and tricks for a great structure and focus greatly on the language being used and the important information which personal statements should include! I can offer academic readings and insights which will enhance any application, and can aid my student in employing effective critical analysis in their personal statement which will help them stand out from their competition. Finally, over the sessions we curate a fantastic personal statement which will ensure a successful university application. Additionally, for those students applying to Oxbridge, I can offer mock interviews (from my own experience, and the experience of other students at my university). Having successfully got into Cambridge myself, I can offer some inside insights into what makes a successful interview, important tactics and key questions which may come up! From a number of my university friends I have curated a bank of questions tailored to each subject to ensure the tuition sessions are perfectly catered to each student’s specific application! In all sessions, I focus on making sure my student feels comfortable with their application, and that they feel they have included everything they want to!
