IB Oxbridge prep tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Oxbridge prep at IB.
Oxbridge admissions cover Oxford and Cambridge undergraduate applications — distinct in process from each other and from other UK universities. Components vary by course: personal statement, written work submission, admissions tests (TSA, MAT, STEP, NSAA, ENGAA, BMAT, LNAT, HAA, ELAT and others depending on subject), and interviews at shortlisted colleges. Tutoring helps most with admissions-test preparation (most schools don't teach to these), with interview practice (the format and style differ sharply from school assessment), and with subject-specific written-work or super-curricular preparation. Look for tutors who've been through the process recently and who know the current course-specific requirements.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
