The things people actually bring us.
Not products or packages. Just what people turn up with, written as sentences. If what you need is not here, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly if it is not us.
If you are at university
- 01
Spring weeks and internships
Which ones to go for, when they open, and what each process is really like once you are in it. Most close on a rolling basis rather than on the advertised deadline, which nobody tells you and which is the single most expensive thing not to know.
- 02
Applications that get past the first screen
CVs and application forms, read properly and marked up, by people who were filling in the same forms last year and can tell you which parts nobody reads.
- 03
Online tests and video interviews
What the formats are, how to practise for them, and the technical basics for quant and tech roles.
- 04
Mock interviews
With someone who sat one in the last year. We will be honest afterwards, which is the only part that is worth anything.
- 05
What to do when you get rejected
Rejections land in waves from late October and most people quietly give up around the fourth one. That is the point at which the people who get a spring week do something different.
If you are in sixth form
- 06
Working out where to apply
Five choices, and an honest conversation about whether they are realistic. We will tell you if we think one of them is not, and we will tell you if we think you are aiming too low, which happens more often.
- 07
The UCAS application
Three questions now, not one essay. We go through it draft by draft until it sounds like you. We will not write it. Universities check, and a statement that is not yours falls apart at interview anyway.
- 08
Planning the year
What to do beyond the syllabus, when to do it, which competitions are worth entering, and how to write about any of it later without it sounding like a list.
- 09
Getting the grades
Revision that works rather than revision that feels productive, past papers, and what to do in the fortnight after a mock has gone badly.
- 10
Interviews
What actually happens in the room, and practice with someone who sat them recently enough to remember what it felt like.
- 11
Results day and after
Offers, Clearing, retaking, applying again. Yuyao has been through the worst version of that morning, so it is not theoretical advice.
What we do not do
We do not teach admissions tests: TMUA, ESAT, STEP. We can help you plan around them and tell you when to book, but the teaching itself is someone else's job and we would rather say so than do it badly.
We do not do subject tutoring, medicine, law, US applications or the IB. We do not write anything that goes in your name.
And if your school is already doing this well, you probably do not need us. That is a real answer and we give it fairly often.
Start whenever
Fifteen minutes to work out what you need, or an hour to get on with it. Nothing to buy upfront and no minimum.
