Secure that offer.

Demystifying the Oxbridge admissions process.

At the OTC, we recognise that applying to Oxbridge can be a complicated and intimidating task. The opacity of the interview process combined with a dearth of information concerning admissions tests can often leave students and parents scratching their heads. But it needn’t be this way.

Our elite tutors have gone through the painstaking process of researching colleges, personal statement pitfalls, admissions test techniques, and interview tips / tricks, so that you don’t have to. We offer a holistic approach and guide your child through the entire application process.

The OTC Effect

Applying to Oxbridge is competitive. Our team of academic mentors coach you through each stage of the application process, to help you to find your edge and get that offer.

We are very proud of our track record, averaging a c.45% acceptance rate over recent admissions cycles, with previous OTC students having received places to read Economics (& Management), Engineering, and Natural Sciences amongst a host of other courses in recent years.

Our programmes are bespoke, designed to meet the needs and preferences of each student.

Personal Statement counselling.

Your personal statement is the initial opportunity

to stand out from the crowd, and first impressions matter.

Our bank of successful Oxbridge personal statements can

guide and shape your own. They offer insight into not only

the supracurricular preparation required, but the linguistic

devices used to convey your academic capacity

and finesse to the admissions team.

Interview Coaching. Your Head Tutor,

an undergraduate or graduate in your

chosen course, will lead you through

a series of sessions to stimulate your mind,

and encourage organic development of the

core skills required to excel. This means that

no matter what your interviewer throws at you,

you will an excellent grounding to tackle the

question from first principles

Mock Interview Carousel. Alongside

interview coaching, our students conduct a

series of mock interviews. Each of these mock

interview sessions will be conducted with a new

and unfamiliar tutor from within our network.

We find this best replicates the Oxbridge interview,

in which you face an unfamiliar subject expert to engage

in intense academic discussion. It also means that you are

exposed to a range of interview styles and content,

offering a breadth of preparation unmatched elsewhere.

t The OTC, educational support is continuously tailored to a student’s need. Your bespoke plan will focus on any / all of the above components, as determined in your free 30-minute consultation call. This then acts as a springboard from which to begin your Oxbridge journey, but is continuously fine-tuned and assessed as we move through the year, rather than acting as dogma to be religiously followed.
