Testimonials

Noah

Received an offer for Classics from Oxford, 2023

"Talking through the interview process was really helpful. The interviews were good practice. The Oxford student who took our sessions was really excellent and gave us lots of useful information. Other students should absolutely use Leading Education if given the opportunity."

Dan

Received an offer for Medicine from Cambridge, 2023

"There were lots of opportunities to answer interview questions with feedback immediately given, which was very useful to improve the structure and content of my answers. I believe the programme improved my confidence in interviews as well as my interview technique, which were both instrumental in attaining an offer from Cambridge."

Amelia

Received an offer for Psychology from Cambridge, 2022

"Leading Education provided me with opportunities to improve every part of my application that I would never have otherwise received. I got the chance to have proper mock interviews on my subject and had my personal statement edited by a knowledgeable tutor. They enabled me to improve my critical thinking skills and knowledge of my subject."

Evan

Received an offer for Computer Science from Cambridge, 2022

"I would recommend this scheme to any Oxbridge applicants as it offers authentic information about the application process that is very difficult to obtain otherwise. It also offers personalised support to each applicant which is extremely valuable."
