What’s Included in our Oxbridge Interview Tutoring?

Our packages draw on our 25 years’ experience providing comprehensive Oxford and Cambridge interview support. We offer packages of 2, 4, or 6 mock interviews plus in-depth feedback.

We work closely with Oxbridge admissions interviewers and use only Oxbridge-educated tutors to replicate the style, pace, and challenge of a real interview. This gives students a genuine feel for what to expect on the day.

Students are matched with multiple Oxbridge-educated interviewers, each trained to deliver authentic mock interviews. Because they’ve all been through the process themselves, they bring valuable insight into the different styles and approaches admissions tutors may use. All our Oxbridge tutors are carefully vetted and monitored to maintain the highest standards.

Each mock interview lasts around 30 minutes of discussion – the same length as a typical Oxbridge interview – followed by 15 minutes of immediate verbal feedback and written notes afterwards. This structured process allows students to demonstrate enthusiasm for their subject and practise the skills that can make the difference on the day.

Our team compiles hundreds of past Oxbridge interview questions every year, specific to each subject area. Interviewers draw on this bank to challenge students with questions that reflect the real experience.

We assess students against the same core criteria used in Oxbridge admissions: intellectual potential, subject knowledge, and communication. After every mock interview, we provide detailed feedback on your performance and identify areas for improvement.

Our Oxbridge interview tutoring can be arranged on the platform that suits you best – whether that’s Microsoft Teams™ or Zoom™ – at a time that fits your schedule.

How Does Our Oxbridge Interview Tutoring Work?

The two example packages below indicate how our Oxbridge interview support can be used to provide comprehensive preparation for two candidates’ interviews.

Example Package 1

Iris is preparing for her Medicine interview at Cambridge. With two and a half weeks to go, she spreads her Oxbridge interview tutoring across this period. Below is an example of the types of interviewers she might work with:

Interview OneHector. Currently in his sixth year of Medicine at Cambridge, Hector focuses on the kind of material Iris would have encountered in a first-year pre-clinical interview.

Interview TwoWasiq. An Oxford Biomedical Sciences graduate, Wasiq draws on real Medicine interview questions used at both Oxford and Cambridge. He tests Iris’s ability to apply her biological knowledge to challenging scenarios.

Interview ThreeRuby. A Cambridge Medicine graduate now pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience, Ruby pushes Iris to engage with unseen material, assessing how she thinks on her feet when faced with unfamiliar concepts.

Interview FourSilas. With a Philosophy degree from Cambridge, Silas explores medical ethics and broader questions around the NHS, encouraging Iris to articulate her views on topical and ethical issues.

Example Package 2

Daniel is preparing for his PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) interviews at Oxford. With only five days to go, he schedules all four of his mock interviews over the weekend. Here’s an example of the interviewers he might meet:

Interview OneRahul. An Oxford PPE graduate now working at a leading strategy consultancy, Rahul challenges Daniel with three complex problems, focusing on his grasp of Game Theory.

Interview TwoCharlotte. A Maths and Philosophy graduate from Oxford, Charlotte puts Daniel’s mathematical ability to the test. Since PPE is highly quantitative, she ensures Daniel shows the numerical ability expected in the real interview.

Interview ThreeEdward. An Oxford History and Politics graduate now working for an MP, Edward explores Daniel’s wider reading. He pushes Daniel to engage with advanced political texts and ideas beyond the school syllabus.

Interview FourMaya. A full-time tutor and Oxford PPE graduate, Maya uses past Oxbridge interview questions to test Daniel’s ability to form and defend views on recent developments in UK politics and economics.

FAQs

Our Oxford interview preparation includes mock interviews in your chosen subject with Oxbridge-graduate interview tutors, plus in-depth written and verbal feedback.

Our Cambridge interview support is a comprehensive course of 1-1 prep for what you will face in your interview. We offer subject-specific mock interviews, conducted by experienced interview tutors who were educated at Cambridge or Oxford, plus detailed feedback to improve your performance.

Our interview support is led by expert tutors, all of whom are Oxbridge graduates who studied the subject you are applying for, or one closely related. They have in-depth knowledge of what Oxford and Cambridge look for in candidates.

The number of mock interviews is flexible and depends on your needs. Most students benefit from multiple mock interviews to refine their technique and build confidence under simulated conditions. We offer packages of 2, 4 and 6 mock interviews, depending on how much interview prep you need.

Yes, all our interview support is carried out online. This includes live mock interviews conducted over video call – just like all interviews at Oxford and most at Cambridge.

We recommend starting your interview prep before you find out whether you have been shortlisted for interview. This allows sufficient time to practice, address weaknesses, and build confidence. Then, if you have been shortlisted, you can step up  your preparation with mock interviews in the weeks immediately before.

Our mock interviews are designed to replicate the actual Oxford and Cambridge interview experience, using real past questions. Our interviews are conducted by Oxbridge graduates who have been through the process themselves and know firsthand what the interviewers ask and how to impress.
