Oxbridge admissions mentoring for language applicants

Oxbridge Admissions

Thank You LinguaTute!

I contacted LinguaTute last summer so that I could have some tutoring for my Oxford application, mainly for the MLAT, as I was applying for Sole Spanish and felt underconfident with the necessary grammar. Ffion assigned me to Cici, who went above and beyond to give personalised grammar worksheets and sessions. As well as this, she also gave me really useful personal statement advice and a number of mock interviews. Cici’s help has also given me so much confidence with my A-Level Spanish and LinguaTute has offered supercurricular courses to further my learning outside the classroom. All of these were so helpful as I went through the application process and today I have just accepted my place to study Spanish at Oxford next year. Thank you so much for all your support!

Why is LinguaTute's Oxbridge admissions mentoring selective?

Through years of first-hand experience, we have learned that some students apply to study languages at Oxbridge because it is one of the subjects with a higher acceptance rate.

At LinguaTute, we want to help students secure a place at Oxford and Cambridge if they are truly passionate about languages, not because they think it’s the easiest way to get into Oxbridge.

This is why our mentoring programme is selective. All you need to do is demonstrate that you are genuinely passionate about languages in order to begin your support sessions with us.

Hello!

I have been supporting Oxbridge applicants in Modern Languages and its Joint Schools since my first year at Oxford. Many of those I have helped have gone on to receive offers.

Having achieved 96% in the MLAT and near-flawless scores in my admissions interviews, I am well-placed to know what applicants can do to increase their chances of success. I offer intensive MLAT practice and interview preparation (including mock interviews) to identify and resolve areas of weakness.

All successful applicants to Oxford and Cambridge are genuinely enthusiastic and curious about their subject. Conveying such enthusiasm to subject experts in a personal statement or at interview can seem intimidating. Increasing one’s subject knowledge is the only antidote; with this in mind, I offer all applicants tailored reading lists which play to their interests and could enrich their personal statement. I also systematically test oral fluency in the target language and knowledge of grammar.

Through working as an Ambassador for three different outreach programs at Oxford, and being involved in over thirty events for prospective applicants and/or sixth form teachers since 2019, I have a unique insight into how the Oxbridge admissions system works and how students can best prepare to make an outstanding application.

I have sat alongside admissions tutors on the Q&A panel for Oxford University Open Days and MML Faculty Teachers’ Conferences, delivered mock interviews in open day demonstrations, and supported applicants during the admissions interview week at Pembroke in 2019. I also mentored a group of year 12 students on the OxNET Modern Languages summer school in 2019, and was delighted to see two of my mentees accept offers from Oxford the subsequent year.

I can offer personal statement and written work review, mock interview practice, admissions tests prep, and general application advice, with experience in applications to Oxford University for History, Modern Languages, and Sole or Joint Honours.

I spent three of the best years of my life at Oxford University, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone with a passion for their subject to put in an application! If you feel you would benefit from one-to-one mentoring with me in preparation for your application, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
