Mock Interview

As part of your Private Consultation, we will provide you with a Mock Interview. Ideal for those applying to the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or Medical School, this consultation is the perfect way to prepare. Interviews play a significant role in determining the success of your application once you have got through the previous stages of the application process. Indeed, Interviews are often the last stage in the application, and it is therefore vital that you are fully prepared. Many students will be unfamiliar with the interview set up, the nature of being interviewed, and the type of questions asked. This inexperience may contribute to nerves, so we believe it helps to know what to expect. By completing a mock interview, we will help applicants to feel more familiar and comfortable with the format and style of questions asked. Helping to reduce any unnecessary nerves, we will help manage expectations. Practising answering interview-style questions will build your confidence, which in itself will enable your passion for the subject to shine through any nerves.

Full Feedback with Strategy Session

In addition to a Mock Interview, you will also receive a full feedback with strategy session. This is carefully designed to maximise your preparation before your interview, benefiting doubly from both practice and feedback. The feedback session will help you realise any sections of the interview process which you may need to invest in further, or if there is anything mentioned on your personal statement which should be further developed in anticipation of the interview. Our tutors, as experts themselves, will provide constructive feedback on your performance and work with you on any areas you need to improve. Practising an interview is incredibly helpful, as is the perfect opportunity to strengthen your performance before your real interview. This strategy session will help you to improve your interview technique and teach you valuable and helpful tips to combat nerves, ensuring you feel prepared. At this stage parents will also be able to ask the tutor questions about how to best support their child through the application process.

Private Consultations can be conducted via whatever platform works best to you, be that Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Skype.
