What Is Included in Our Oxford TSA Tutoring

Our Oxford TSA tutoring programme covers every aspect of the TSA, significantly boosting your score. Here’s what you can expect:

Each course of TSA tutoring begins with an initial assessment, allowing our tutors to identify your strengths and target areas for improvement. Based on this, we create a tailored study plan, ensuring that your preparation is focused and strategic. 

Section 1 of the TSA tests critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our tutors guide you through each type of question, covering logical reasoning, critical thinking, and data analysis. With timed practice and step-by-step answer guides, you’ll learn how to efficiently navigate this section.

The essay in Section 2 is a critical component for PPE applicants. It allows you to showcase your ability to construct coherent, persuasive arguments. Our tutors teach you how to structure your responses, select and defend your arguments, and refine your writing style. You’ll practice with sample prompts and receive detailed feedback to sharpen your skills.

Regular mock tests are integral to our programme, providing you with realistic TSA experience. These timed exams help you practice under pressure, improve pacing, and track your progress over time. Each test is followed by an in-depth review, where TSA tutors analyse your performance and teach you how to improve your marks.

As a Dukes Plus student, you’ll have access to a wealth of study resources, including practice papers, question banks, and TSA preparation guides. Our materials are curated to mirror the actual exam, so you’ll always be practising with the most relevant and up-to-date content.

Feedback is key. After each lesson, tutors review your progress, tracking it against TSA benchmarks. This continual assessment allows us to refine your study plan as you advance, focusing on areas that need extra attention.

We offer both online and in-person sessions, making it easy to fit TSA preparation into your schedule. Our in-person TSA tutoring is available in London, while online lessons can be accessed anywhere in the world.

Each element of our tutoring is designed to ensure you’re thoroughly prepared, confident, and ready to excel on test day.

Do I Need a Tutor for the Oxford TSA Test?

Oxford admissions are very competitive, and a strong TSA score can set you apart. Oxford themselves have said that the TSA is one of the most significant aspects of the application process, so scoring highly is key. 

To improve your performance in section 1, tutors introduce problem-solving techniques and shortcuts for tackling the most common question types. For PPE applicants taking section 2,  an Oxford TSA test tutor can improve your essay-writing, helping you structure arguments clearly within tight time limits.  

Balancing schoolwork and university applications can limit the time available for TSA prep. A tutor helps you stay on track with a clear schedule, making it easier to use your time wisely. The TSA is also a time-pressured exam, and tutoring can teach you strategies for approaching questions efficiently and maximise your score. 

While some succeed through independent study, a dedicated tutor offers invaluable guidance and targeted support. At Dukes Plus, our experienced tutors have a record of helping students improve their scores – the average student improves by 20% after just 4 hours of tutoring.

Customer Stories

“I highly recommend Oxbridge Applications. Alicia, Tom and Victoria were very professional, helpful and patient. From start to finish, everything was clearly communicated and all my questions and concerns were answered (even the most obvious ones!). My daughter has an offer from her first choice university and couldn’t be happier. The staff really care about the students and work hard to ensure the best outcomes for them.”

FAQs

The Oxford TSA (Thinking Skills Assessment) is a test required for certain courses at the University of Oxford including PPE and Economics and Management. It assesses critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to communicate ideas effectively under timed conditions.

Our Oxford TSA test tutors draw on their years of experience to offer insider advice and guidance on answering both sections of the TSA. Tutors can teach efficient approaches to time management, logical reasoning, and essay structuring, all aimed at maximising your score.

It’s generally best to start preparing at least a few months before the test date. This allows ample time to familiarise yourself with the question types, practise key skills, and build confidence. Starting early also helps reduce test-day anxiety by ensuring you’re thoroughly prepared.

Our TSA tutoring includes a personalised study plan, regular mock tests, access to exclusive TSA resources, and continuous feedback on your performance. Each session is tailored to your strengths and areas for improvement, covering all aspects of the TSA. 

Yes! We use the same virtual learning environment as top universities like Oxford so you can be sure the remote learning will be effective and engaging.

Absolutely. If you need targeted support for either the multiple-choice or essay section, our tutors will focus on that area. They’ll help you develop the skills and strategies you need to perform well on whichever part you’d like to improve.

Practising with past papers familiarises you with the test format and types of questions you’ll encounter. Our tutors use past papers to provide realistic practice and refine your timing, accuracy, and overall performance.

While it’s possible to prepare independently, many students find that tutoring significantly boosts their performance. Our students improve their Oxbridge admissions test scores by an average of 20% after just 4 hours of tutoring.
