In a city like Oxford, with its world-renowned university and high-achieving schools, it’s understandable to feel the pressure for your child to do more than just well in English.

Building the Skills That Open Doors to Top Universities
A strong command of English is more than just a great grade; it's the key that unlocks opportunities. It’s the ability to craft a compelling personal statement that gets noticed, to analyse complex poetry with confidence, and to structure a persuasive argument in an exam. These are the skills that admissions tutors at Russell Group universities look for, and they are foundational for success in any degree and future career.

Lucy F
I went from grade 2 in english language in my mocks to a grade 7 in 7 months of tutoring. Each lesson had been incredibly useful. By the time of my exams, Lucy's predictions for both the english language and literature papers on what the questions would be on, and what poem would appear on the paper, had also been incredibly useful. As her predictions had been almost entirely correct and the preparation for the paper using them had meant i was fully prepared for the questions that came up, and prepared for any other questions on potential themes, topics or poems that could come up.
