Shay Oxbridge & Social Sciences Tutor Bachelors
- Travels 3.0 miles
- Online Tuition
I'm a tutor and mentor for 10+years, specialising in Oxbridge admissions and the social sciences, where I have sought to capture the diversity of each student, providing a platform for each individual to excel in their academic journey.
I tailor all lessons to the individual as every student has their own needs, requirements, and unique ways of learning. One size does not fit all. Our sessions will always be interactive and structured, allowing us to really delve into the materials at hand and achieve the results that we want.
I've gained admission into many top universities in the UK and enjoy nothing more than helping students achieve better and to find and navigate their academic paths.
About Me
I taught myself my A-Levels and from that; I understood the value of broadening one's views and intellect beyond the academic syllabi. I teach my tutees how to do this and have several resources and advice on hand for optimal results in going beyond the classroom.
I successfully gained admission at Oxford for PPE in 2016, and Cambridge for HSPS in 2018. A unique opportunity and insight into the entire process were gained from start to finish at both universities, from applications to interviews to gaining admission.
During my time at Cambridge, I worked with the admissions team and mentored potential applicants for admissions, with a focus on accessibility & inclusion. This has allowed me to understand what the admissions tutors are looking for, how they assess, and the different approaches depending on the college you apply for.
I tutor and mentor locally in my community and beyond to help bridge gaps in knowledge, opportunity and potential.

May 2023Shay tutored me for Oxbridge admissions providing support from the very beginning to the end. I was unsure which of the two to opt for; Shay helped me navigate these choices based on my own goals and academic background. We explored everything from subject choices to college choices and where I would fit in best as all these choices mattered in the likability of receiving an offer. In the end, I received an offer from Cambridge and I am so grateful for Shay's help in getting me there! -

Apr 2023I am not a native English speaker and struggle with putting my points out here. Shay was very patient with me and really helped me in improving my academic reading and writing skills in my A-Level subjects. She also helped me choose which UK university to apply to given my interests as I was unsure. I am grateful for her help as not only has it improved my academic writing but I have also secured offers at universities I would not have even considered applying to because of my grades. -

Feb 2023Shay really helped bridge the gap that I had in my A-Levels due to missing a lot of school. She structured her lessons very well and held them like tutorials so I always felt engaged and challenged. She also took into consideration the fact that I have ADHD and provided the needed tailoring as I can lose focus pretty quickly. She helped me achieve grades beyond what was predicted, I am very grateful for her help. -

Jan 2023Shay helped me to secure an offer for PPE at Oxford! She really understood the process and helped me through it all. We did many mock interviews and she was very patient with my answers and requirements. We even changed my college choice and I'm grateful that we did as I couldn't be happier where I am right now!
