Personal Statement for UK Universities: Stand out and make your application count with the help of an Oxford educated tutor.

Àpd 40.89 € /h

The key to getting noticed and accepted by UK universities is the 4000 characters long personal statement, which is your one chance to stand out from all the other candidates. This is not a lot of space, but I am here to help you make the most of this piece of writing to present yourself as genuinely and effectively as possible. Having myself benefited from a similar assistance, I have been accepted to the University of Oxford.
This can take form of regular classes in which we draft and revise the text or a single session with feedback, depending on your preferences.

Présentation

Hi!

I am Vendy and I am originally Czech, but have lived in the UK for the past four years and have recently moved to Sweden. Having completed my degree in Mathematics and Statistics at Oxford, I now feel keen to help other students with their studies.
I have experience tutoring Mathematics and English at levels from primary school up to pre-university level. Besides being able to help with tutoring, exam preparation, or homework, I can also assist in the UK university application process by revising personal statements.
In my free time, I love being active outdoors - primarily running and doing yoga, cooking, and baking, or reading a good book with a cup of coffee. And I really enjoy helping students achieve their full potential, which is why I am offering my tutoring skills. Please reach out to me if you have any questions at all!

Support in the areas of hiring:

- Writing and presentation of a hard-hitting CV both in form and content (how to arouse the interest of the reader and how to be invited to a job interview).
-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).
- Preparation and repetition of a job interview (key questions ... to say and not to say)

Together we identify the relevant elements that guarantee you a CV that attracts attention and guarantees that you will be invited to a job interview.

During the rehearsal of a job interview, we prepare the answers to give, the aspects not to say. I work on both the verbal and the nonverbal aspects. If desired, a video can be recorded and analyzed together.

Je donne des cours d'aide à la rédaction de textes tels que des dissertations, des résumés, des synthèses et d'autres travaux écrits (travaux académiques, mémoire, éventuellement CV et lettre de motivation...). Je donne également des cours de français pour s'améliorer dans cette langue en cas de difficultés ou lorsqu'il ne s'agit pas de sa langue maternelle. Je peux ainsi aider en orthographe, en grammaire, à mieux s'exprimer oralement ou par écrit. Je ne donne pas cours de français langue étrangère au niveau débutant. J'adapte le cours en fonction de la demande de la personne. J'aide également à préparer les examens de français du Jury central.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

I adapt to the profile of each intern or student according to their objective and level.
The goal is not to work endless hours, but to show how to be able to work alone or partially independently in a short time.
It is always a pleasure for me to be recognized in the street 15 years after classes, and to be thanked for having provided a real service to the person concerned.
This activity is a passion of mine that I have been pursuing since I was 16 years old.
I hope to be able to share it with you to prepare effectively, by significantly reducing your legitimate apprehension of exams.
