Admissions tutoring experience

As a state school-educated Oxford insider who has excelled in the tutorial system, I understand exactly what tutors are looking for in an Oxbridge candidate, whatever a student's background. I've been helping students through the admissions process for over a year, since I first received my own offer — supporting students at my former sixth form and in the local area with super-curricular advice, personal statement feedback and interview practice, using questions I designed myself to mirror the style of real interviews. I've helped students secure offers for Biomedical Science at Oxford, Music at Oxford, and Psychology at Cambridge.

Hi, I'm Aaron, a First Class Natural Sciences graduate from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, specialising in Oxbridge admissions and the biological and physical sciences. My Cambridge interview went well enough that my interviewer offered me a job in his research lab, where I've since worked closely alongside him. That has given me an insider's understanding of how interviewers actually think and what makes a candidate stand out.

Admissions tutoring experience

I have over 150 hours of tutoring experience across admissions preparation, A-Levels, GCSEs, and even first-year undergraduate courses. I hold Gold awards in both the Physics and Biology Olympiads and placed in the 95th percentile in the biology section of Cambridge's science admissions assessment — the test the ESAT replaced — so I understand what these assessments demand and how to prepare for them. I've run many of my own mock interviews and have conducted real interviews in a previous role, and I've supported applicants for Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Natural Sciences. My approach is direct and tailored: I break problems down to first principles, prioritise reasoning over rote answers, and adapt each session to how you actually learn. Whether you're chasing top grades, a Natural Sciences place, or the confidence to excel at interview, I'd be glad to help.
