Learn how to get into a highly selective university from a Cambridge Graduata

From 32.13 £ /h

If you're looking to apply to a prestigious university with a very rigorous selection process, I can help coach you for your interviews and provide feedback for the work you'll be presenting to them. I intend my coaching to leave you feeling confident that you'll be able to do your best when you have to prove yourself to the university interviewers!

I'm Joseph, and I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2019. I'm the first member of my family to ever go to that prestigious university, and I come from rural France, where the number of students at my schools who went to Oxbridge could be counted on the fingers of one hand. My help is therefore catered both to those who've aimed to go to such universities for years, and those who don't know where to start to make it possible!

I specialize in tutoring and consulting related to the US university admissions process. This includes SAT and SAT II prep, essay writing, interviewing tips, and helping you create a compelling narrative to send to US universities. I was admitted into Harvard, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and a few others, and have been tutoring people of all ages.

I know this process can be daunting, but I truly believe every student has a unique and amazing story to share. I am committed to helping the applicant shine in all areas of the admissions process, and to help them feel more at ease during it.

During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students.

Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch and face-to-face or online, depending on the location.

Location face-to-face classes: Citizen M Amsterdam, at your home or in the public library.

This class is for basic mathematics and english as well as writing poems and essays. I believe that it is simple to learn without memorization but just understanding . I will provide enjoyment and creativity with the students and also some challenges that they will like as math is. I will provide homework as their assurance that they learn something new and will be ready on the next lesson and for that i give them grades and certificate that they did well.

Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!

Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.

Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.

I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.

Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

Hey! My name is Yasmin, I was born in Denmark, mainly raised in the Netherlands, but moved more than 14 times to different countries and cities. I have always attended an international school and received my Bachelor's degree in English & Pre-Law from the University of California Santa Barbara last summer. I have decided to continue my studies and am currently studying international & European law.
I provide English tutoring where we can focus together on whatever you need, such as: writing, speaking, writing essays and creative writing. I can also help with homework or help with public speaking and giving presentations in English, of course. It is important to me that you receive enough help so that you can continue with full self-confidence.

In addition, I am also there for children whose parents want them to be able to master the English language. I do this by having fun and educational conversations with the child.

Hopefully see you soon!

Are you in your graduation phase? Is it sometimes too much for you? And would you like to look at your piece together with an expert?

Hey!

I am Elias. Lecturer at the Applied Psychology course at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.

My expertise lies in supervising students in their graduation phase. I help monitor the overview of the time schedule. I give feedback on thesis parts. And I mainly help you to obtain a logical story in your thesis research. Your story!

How it works:
- send me your piece before our appointment
- also send the guidelines that your assignment must comply with
- indicate where your learning needs lie. What do you need help with?

During the session:
- we look at your learning needs, planning and there is room for questions
- Get your feedback and feedforward. Then you know where you stand and where you can make improvements.
- at the end you have the choice to make an incidental follow-up appointment or to coordinate a follow-up process.

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
