How we help

Support for every part of the application

Interview practice

Oxford and Cambridge interviews are conversations about your subject. A tutor runs a mock interview with you, gives you honest feedback, and helps you think out loud about something new. Book one session or several, by the hour.

Online interviews

Oxford Geography interviews are online, on Microsoft Teams, and some Cambridge Colleges interview online too. Our lessons are online, so you practise in the same format.

Cambridge College assessments

One College sets an assessment at interview; check your College's page. If yours does, you can practise writing under time pressure with a tutor. Your work must be your own, so we won't write or edit it for you.

Choosing a course

Not sure whether Geography, Human Sciences, Earth Sciences or Archaeology and Anthropology suits you best? A tutor can talk you through how the courses differ.

Hi! My name is Kit and I graduated with double First Class Honours in Geography BA from Selwyn College, Cambridge, in 2026. Overall, I ranked in the top 15% of my cohort, and have been awarded a variety of academic awards, including the Lyttelton, Tripos, and Corfield Scholarships.
I have been tutoring for over three years now, working with both international and domestic students aged 16-18 on application advice for Oxbridge. My experience spans the Land Economy, Geography, and HSPS subject areas, focusing on personal statement recommendations, mock interviews, and consultations for supercurricular readings. I also have experience tutoring the Geography, Philosophy, and English Literature A-levels, for which I received A*A*A, as well as GCSEs and the EPQ.
My philosophy for admissions is simple: teachability beats outright confidence every time. As a tutor my aim is to help students understand what Oxbridge supervisors are really looking for, and how to make their fascination in their chosen subject area shine through. I look forward to working with you, and answering any and all questions along the way!

Admissions tutoring experience

I began tutoring immediately after I finished my A-levels in 2023, where I covered A-Level subjects (Philosophy, Geography, and English Literature), GCSEs (particularly Religious Studies, English Literature, English Language, and Geography) and Oxbridge admissions (between the Land Economy, HSPS, and Geography degrees). For Oxbridge admissions, I have worked with 5 individuals - 3 with a school that brought me in to advise, and 2 who I knew personally through family connections. I successfully helped one applicant gain their place at Cambridge for Geography in 2026, after we had conducted 5 hours worth of mock interviews. My emphasis for Oxbridge admissions tutoring is that these interview sessions are where time is best spent, being a unique scenario for most applicants and often the real differentiator. This is something I converse to all my tutees, and I have gained over 20 hours experience conducting mock interviews with these students. Outside of this, I also make sure to review all personal statements before the deadline, and I have adapted to the new 3-part system introduced this year. I also discuss readings with students, and provide recommended material directly from the Geography, HSPS, and Land Economy departments. Finally, my interview questions are not created randomly, but directly excised from previous supervisions of mine, as well as actual admissions interviews held for the aforementioned subject areas.

Hi! I'm Lara, a 2nd year Geography student at the University of Oxford.

Having achieved 10 grade 9s at GCSE as well as A*A*A at A-level with these grades securing my place at the University of Oxford, I am a qualified tutor for a wide range of subjects and can likewise assist with Oxbridge applications. Indeed, I have supported students from a range of backgrounds with their personal statements and interview preparation, helping them stand out as candidates for top Universities and boosting their confidence in their own ability. I have also previously tutored students for the 11+ exams (with a 100% success rate) as well as having tutored for French GCSE and am eager to help more students achieve their academic ambitions at a range of levels.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy playing piano and violin as well as going on walks and spending time with friends and family.

I would love to help you reach your full potential in your studies and work with you to overcome challenges while developing the confidence and skills to achieving your goals!

My name is Antreas! I come from Cyprus and hold a First-Class degree in Human, Social and Political Sciences from Christs College of the University of Cambridge, during which I specialised in Social Anthropology and Politics.

I have a flawless academic record during my university, A Level and GCSE years, receiving among others the Dr Fred Eade Prize award for my academic performance at Cambridge and the Pearson Edexcel High Achiever Award for receiving the Highest Mark in the World in A Level English Literature.

My approach to teaching is student-based and results-driven. I will not waste time on marking any homework as I will mark it from before. I am able to provide exemplar answers and past papers. The time will be used most effectively to maximise your chances of improving your grade or gaining admission to your course of choice.

I am a lover of the arts, a keen writer, musician and actor, and also work in the field of theatre and film. I love cycling and swimming and now based in London!

These courses have no entrance test you register for. Cambridge colleges may set a short assessment at interview, and interview preparation covers it. So each tutor shows up to two prices: one for interview and/or personal statement preparation, and one for ongoing A-Level tuition if you carry on with this tutor.

Questions

Geography admissions FAQs

Do I need A-level Geography?

Oxford recommends Geography, but doesn't require it. At Cambridge, some Colleges ask for particular subjects; check your College.

Is there an admissions test for Geography?

No. Neither university has a test you register for. At Cambridge, one College sets an assessment at interview; check your College's page.

When are Geography interviews?

At Oxford, shortlisted candidates have at least one online interview, on Microsoft Teams. Interviews run on weekdays from Wednesday 9 to Wednesday 16 December 2026. Not everyone is interviewed. Invitations go out from mid-November to early December, sometimes with about a week's notice.

At Cambridge, interviews run from 7 to 18 December 2026, online or in person, depending on the College. Most invitations go out in November.

When will I hear back?

Oxford sends decisions on 12 January 2027. Cambridge sends decisions in January 2027.

How many mock interviews should I book?

We suggest a series of sessions with one tutor, as many as you need, to build your technique. A tutor who knows you can see what you're improving on and take each session further than the last.

Then book one or two sessions with tutors you haven't met. On the day, you'll be interviewed by people you've never spoken to, who ask questions in their own way. Practising with someone new shows you whether your technique holds up when the style and the questions are unfamiliar.

Ready to strengthen your Geography application?

Tell us a little about the course and where you'd like support — interview, a College assessment or choosing a course — and we'll get back to you about a tutor who fits. No packages, no obligation.
