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

Van 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.

Over

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!

Wil jij het frans beter onder de knie krijgen ? Wil jij het frans vlotter begrijpen en spreken ?

Ik kan jou helpen tijdens conversatietafels om jou frans beter te beheersen en het vlotter te spreken.

De inhoud van de lessen wordt aangepast naargelang het niveau en in overleg.
Tijdens de lessen kunnen we samen het schriftelijk en het mondeling frans oefenen. Na de les zullen oefeningen voorgesteld worden om het frans zelfstandig te oefenen waarna deze samen verbeterd worden.

Ik ben tweetalig opgevoed door mijn ouders. Na het lager en het middelbaar in het Nederlands (Tongeren) te hebben gevolgd, ben ik aan de universiteit van Luik gaan studeren om eveneens het schriftelijk frans beter te beheersen. Ondertussen werk ik al 3 jaar dagelijks in het frans.

Oxford and Cambridge are the UK’s most elite universities and, especially for a European student, far easier to reach with the proper support. This is what I am here to provide: help writing an ideal personal statement fit for a future Oxbridge offer holder, aid with UCAS, interview practice and advice on any possible question you could have. As a European Oxford student myself, I know the challenges and hardships of an Oxbridge application and aim to make the entire process easier for you. This will not only better your chances of securing an offer, but also make this already stressful time a bit less confusing.
