Preparation Sessions
In addition to Practice Interviews we also provide a bespoke one-to-one Interview Preparation Session to help you to prepare for your interviews.One-to-One Preparation Session
Our One-to-One Preparation Sessions have been designed in
association with a former Oxbridge tutor and provide a focused opportunity to gain
individualised, one-to-one support in your university interview preparation.
The hour-and-a-quarter session is run by one of our experienced Oxbridge educated team. The session covers:
- The motivations behind your application to Oxford or Cambridge. This looks into the questions that are often asked at the beginning of an Oxbridge interview, and helps you to think about how you might best answer these questions
- An analysis of the skills that Oxford and Cambridge look for, and what skills you need to develop. You will be given a news item related to your subject and will be asked challenging questions based on this. This will be an opportunity to demonstrate your analytical skills, independent thought, capacity to make a case and defend a point of view, to think on your feet and respond to challenges - criteria which tutors and dons look for
- How you come across at interview - your personality, body language and presentation
- A personalised action plan for you to put into practice
before your real interview
You will be given oral feedback throughout the session and will have the opportunity to discuss questions you have on the interview process. You will be sent an in-depth written feedback form shortly after the preparation session which our pupils often choose to review further with their parents and teachers. We will be on hand for the fortnight after the session to answer any further questions you have by email or phone.
As part of our philosophy to provide bespoke support for all the pupils we support we have a limited number of One-to-One Preparation Sessions.

Many pupils find it helpful to have a practice interview after their preparation sessions. A practice interview with one of interviewers who studied your subject at Oxford or Cambridge helps pupils to put into practice what they have learnt in their preparation session.
