Economics Admissions SupportInterviews, the TMUA and the TARA

I recently graduated from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, with a First in Economics & Management. I was also awarded the John Hicks Prize for the highest mark in Macroeconomics Finals. I tutor Maths and Economics, and I try to keep lessons practical — we go through whatever a student is struggling with, work out exactly where the confusion sits, and spend most of the lesson applying it to real questions.

I'm particularly good at spotting small mistakes in someone's reasoning and explaining things a different way if the first explanation hasn't landed. I like students to talk through how they reached an answer, because that makes it far easier to see what's actually going wrong. I've helped two Economics & Management applicants with the Oxford admissions process, mainly by putting together tailored reading lists and suggesting ways they could build on their interests beyond the school curriculum — both went on to receive interviews, and one received an offer. I sat Oxford's reasoning admissions test myself, scoring 73.9, before it was replaced by the TARA. I'm happy to work with students aiming for top grades, but just as happy with anyone who wants the subject to feel less confusing.

Hi, I'm a Cambridge Economics graduate with a strong passion for teaching and academic mentorship. I achieved A*A*A*A at A-Level in Economics, Maths, English Literature and Further Maths, and I'm happy to tutor these subjects at A-Level and GCSE.

I have experience tutoring GCSE subjects and helping students prepare their UCAS applications for the universities they're aiming for. I tailor my approach to each student's needs, so they can reach their academic goals.

Hi everyone! I'm Isabelle, and I'm studying Economics and Management at the University of Oxford. I scored 84 in TSA Critical Thinking and as well as securing an offer from Oxford, received offers from all five of my UCAS choices, including LSE and Warwick. Alongside the TARA, I can also support TMUA preparation, and I love helping students build genuine confidence and tailor my approach to how they learn best.

I achieved four A-Levels (two A*s, two As) and an EPQ, and I've tutored students from KS3 through to A-Level in Maths and Chemistry, as well as mentoring Year 12 students in Chemistry. Outside academics I competed in regional hockey and cricket through school and now row at Oxford — so I know first-hand what it takes to balance serious academic work with other commitments, and how to help students manage their time to do the same.

My name's Ben and I'm a student at the University of Oxford studying Economics and Management. I offer tutoring for Oxbridge admissions, including the TARA and interview practice, as well as A-Level Maths and Economics. I achieved four A*s at A-Level and eleven grade 9s at GCSE, so I understand both the subject knowledge and the exam technique needed to achieve top grades. I particularly enjoy breaking down difficult concepts into simple, intuitive explanations and adapting my teaching style to suit each student.

I've been tutoring for the past three years, helping students build confidence and improve their academic performance, and I've supported students preparing for the TARA as well as giving personal statement feedback. I've tutored ten students in Maths and Economics at A-Level and GCSE — including one GCSE maths student who passed the subject after previously failing it seven times. For Oxbridge applicants I can provide guidance throughout the admissions process, helping students approach it with greater confidence and develop the problem-solving and analytical skills Oxford and Cambridge look for. I sat Oxford's reasoning admissions test myself in 2025, before the TARA replaced it, scoring 78 — it assessed the same critical thinking and problem solving the TARA now covers.

Hi! I'm Auriane, and I am a second year studying Economics and Management at Oxford. I am offering tutoring for the TARA, interview practice, and A-level Economics and Maths tutoring. I achieved 4A* in my A-levels, and ten grade 9s at GCSE. Having recently gone through the Oxbridge application process and A-levels myself I understand how stressful this process is, and will ensure to help students build both their confidence and skills to be successful.

Throughout school I also mentored students in subject clinics (mostly maths clinic), helping to build my tutoring ability. I have experience informally mentoring students through the Oxford admissions process, through advising them on matters including where to apply, what to include in personal statements, how to prepare for admissions tests, and how to succeed in interviews.
