As well as economics tutoring, I also provide support for students applying for UK universities.
This includes:
- Personal statement work. This includes:
- Which activities you should attempt for your personal statement;
- Discussions of these activities;
- How to build paragraphs;
- Reviews of personal statement drafts and individual paragraphs and more.
- How to approach each of the three questions required for UCAS applications.
- Please note I do not write the personal statement for the student however; this is all down to them.
- For Oxbridge Economics applicants I can also offer mock interviews and extended preparation for interviews.
- Economics interview sessions often include an extended mock interview before feedback near the end of the sessions.
- Extended preparation can include reviews of typical interview material, which is essentially a look into undergraduate economics and economics mock interview sessions.
- Where information is available, I try to tailor this to the college, as interview questions vary significantly by college.
- I can also help students prepare for admissions tests (TMUA and TSA).
- Discussing choices for university courses or any other questions related to the application.
I typically offer personal statement guidance for applicants to economics courses at UK universities. Students with my support have received offers for courses such as Cambridge Economics and Oxford Economics and Management, as well as from various Russell Group universities.
In addition I can support students applying for similar courses, such as economics joint honours courses (such as PPE), business, management, marketing and more.
This is a service independent of my A-Level Economics tuition. However many (but not all) students choose to combine both A-Level tutoring and UCAS application support. I am happy to offer UCAS support alone as well.
Tutoring reviews
“Tom was indeed extremely helpful when writing my personal statement.”
“Tom has given me invaluable help in the preparation of my interview! I was very nervous during the mock interview, but Tom was reassuring and calmly led me through it.”
These are the words of students whom I’ve supported with their personal statements or interviews.
Please feel free to read my full list of economics tutoring reviews. This includes a section on UCAS applications and undergraduate economics,
I cannot give a guarantee of success for any individual student’s application. Other factors such as student effort and ability matter, and economics in particular has become a very competitive course.
Nevertheless, please do read my reviews for a sense of the impact my tuition can have.
