Enrichment
​
For all the idiosyncrasies of the College admissions process, English tutors are largely in agreement in identifying reading as the most crucial discriminator. This is liberating and terrifying at the same time; knowing where to begin or how to fashion a reading list that feels authentic as well as ambitious can be overwhelming. I will help you get started, discuss your reading in ways that stretch and challenge (in both senses of the word) and help you make the most of your UCAS statement. I do not spoon-feed; my academic mentoring is about facilitating and empowering you to forge your own independent interests.

'Unseens' at Interview
​
It’s hard to know how to prepare for the unseen part of the Oxbridge interview format – unseen material rules out the need for revision but doing nothing seems inappropriate when the stakes are so high. I offer practical ways of approaching extracts as well as opportunities to develop and practice honing the analytical skills it puts to the test.
