UCAS & University Applications
Your university application, handled with care
As a former school UCAS co-ordinator, I've guided hundreds of students through the university application process from the inside. I know what admissions tutors look for, what makes a personal statement stand out, and how to navigate every stage — from choosing the right course to preparing for interviews.
Choose the right level of support
Two packages designed for different needs. Both deliver expert, hands-on guidance from a qualified teacher.
Personal Statement Package
Ideal if your child knows where they're applying and needs expert help crafting a compelling personal statement.
- Initial consultation to understand their story, strengths, and goals
- Structured drafting guidance — not writing it for them, but teaching them how
- Up to 3 rounds of detailed, written feedback
- Final review and polish before submission
- Tips on what admissions tutors actually look for
Full UCAS Package
End-to-end support for students who want guidance through the entire application process.
- Everything in the Personal Statement Package
- University and course shortlisting — finding the right fit
- UCAS application form guidance and review
- Interview preparation with mock sessions
- Ongoing support until offers are received
- Advice on responding to offers (firm and insurance choices)
Interview Preparation Add-on
Already have the Personal Statement Package but need interview support? Add it on separately.

University applications have key deadlines. Here's when to start and what happens at each stage.
May – July (Year 12)
Research & shortlisting
Start exploring courses and universities. Attend open days. We work together to build a balanced shortlist.

Filling in the application, checking everything is correct, and submitting before the October deadline (for Oxbridge/medicine) or January deadline.
