Hear From Our School Partners

I thoroughly enjoyed the Oxbridge workshop; it was extremely helpful to understand how much more work I should do. In particular, I would like to say thank you the tutor, for his excellent teaching. Overall, I thought it was well-organized and provided a great opportunity to learn from experienced tutors. Thank you for organizing such a fantastic workshop.

"At Cardiff Sixth Form College, one of the cornerstones of our provision is that we 'demand and deliver excellence'. Our partnership with Oxbridge Applications, is a wonderful example of this, with expert guidance provided for our students and expert training provided for our staff in the pursuit of the highest university ambitions."

Gareth Collier, Principal, Cardiff Sixth Form College

"Oxbridge Applications have offered an invaluable service in supplementing Marlborough College's programme of preparation for Oxbridge admissions tests and interviews. Their bespoke approach is flexible but robust, and has offered our pupils greater exposure to admissions test papers and interviews. The quality of their tutors always impresses our pupils, whose feedback is consistently positive."

Andrew Oxburgh, Head of Oxbridge, Marlborough College

"We have been really happy with the way Oxbridge Applications have helped to guide our students through the demands of the application process, providing high quality feedback and support at all stages."

Ruth Lexton, Head of Oxbridge, Wellington College

“Thank you so much for the interview day today. The students were nervous (which is normal) but they all commented on just how interesting and stimulating the interviews were. They all commented on the professionalism of the tutors, and they all learned a lot from the experience. They will certainly be more confident and prepared for any Oxbridge interviews that they might face in the future. Thank you again for a wonderful event!! We look forward to working with you again in the future!"

Peter Sullivan, British School of Madrid

“Another great day and the students, as ever, got a huge amount out of it. We hope to see you next year!”

Ed Lamb, Davenport High School

I just wanted to let you know the wonderful news that [student] has received an offer! I have no doubt that the two interviews with you played a massively vital role in securing this offer and wish to offer my most profound gratitude. Your patient and kindly approach really settled his nerves and he performed superbly well in his interviews with Cambridge. A huge "thank you" to Alison and Alicia for all of your help.

“Thank you again - from my point of view, the remote interviews worked really well. It was good to have access to a larger number of tutors, to give all the pupils two interviews, and for me to be able to drop in on them too. I was particularly impressed with Alison's interviewing! Really helpful!

Terry McDermott, Surbiton High School

“I have used Oxbridge Applications with many students over the years and have found them to be excellent. They have contributed to innovations in our Oxbridge support which has seen our Oxbridge offers at Surbiton High triple in recent years when most independent schools are seeing their offers go in the opposite direction. I am happy to use their services year after year."
