Personal Statement Support
Personal statements serve as an initial glimpse into your character and aspirations for the admissions committee. Crafting one can be challenging as it requires the right equilibrium between infusing personal experiences and articulating academic insights. As you navigate the process of writing your personal statement, I will provide advice to help you through each stage to ensure your narrative flows seamlessly while equally highlighting your academic strengths and personal story, ultimately leaving a strong first impression that captures both your personal and academic identities.
Oxbridge Mock Interviews
Drawing upon my experience as a former admissions assessor and interviewer at University of Cambridge, I bring a unique perspective to the preparation process for prospective Oxford and Cambridge applicants. In our one-to-one mock interview sessions, I will tailor the experience to align with your chosen course of study. The sessions will simulate the format and style of a real Oxbridge interview, and this is not just about answering questions; it’s about engaging in a dynamic academic conversation where your critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills are put to test.
Postgraduate Applications
Developing a compelling statement of purpose and/or research proposal is a crucial yet often daunting task for prospective postgraduate applicants. This process requires not only a thorough comprehension of the subject at hand, but also the skill to articulate one’s goals and intentions in a clear and impactful manner. Recognising these challenges, I work with each student to explore their individual experiences and aspirations, helping them to uncover the key elements of their academic journey that weave into a persuasive narrative to effectively showcase their potential for postgraduate study.
Academic Writing Support
Having previously worked as an academic supervisor at University of Cambridge, I offer guidance to students as they work through the challenges of academic essays. My approach emphasises clarity and critical thinking, ensuring that each student comprehends the essential components of academic writing. I guide students in refining their ideas, improving their writing skills, and ultimately producing well-crafted essays that adhere to academic standards while highlighting their individual perspectives.
Research Consultancy
Trained as a research psychologist, I offer expert guidance and support to organisations and institutions seeking to enhance their research endeavours. My services include comprehensive project design, methodology development, and data analysis and interpretation, ensuring robust and impactful results. With a proven track record of successful collaborations across diverse sectors, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate complex research challenges, maximise findings, and translate data into actionable strategies and recommendations.
