Student Success Stories

“My mentor was essential in helping me write a strong Oxford Maths personal statement. Her comprehensive support made the process much easier.

She excelled in three areas. First, she knew what makes statements effective and asked insightful questions that helped me clearly express my mathematical abilities and passion.

Second, her feedback was always practical and easy to follow. She responded quickly and encouraged questions, making the process collaborative.

Finally, she was refreshingly honest, identifying weaknesses and providing diplomatic criticism that helped me create something I was proud of.”

“When I first started thinking about applying to Oxford, I honestly didn’t think I stood a chance. I had no idea how to approach the personal statement, or what the process would be like. What really helped me was having someone walk me through the process step-by-step and really push me to think deeply about why I wanted to study science.
When I got the offer email, my first thought was, I couldn’t have done this alone. First Class’s programme didn’t just improve my application, it transformed the way I think.”

“I’ve always wanted to study Chemistry, but the process is so competitive for top UK universities, and I wasn’t sure how to write a personal statement that would stand out. Working with my mentor changed everything. He helped me shape my experiences into a story that I was proud of.
What made the difference was my mentor’s patience. He never rushed me or made me feel bad. Instead he helped me to understand what admissions officers look for and highlight my strengths.”

“I was really anxious about the Cambridge interview as I had heard about how challenging and nerve-wracking it could be. My mentor prepared me really well for this, creating a safe space in our mock interviews for me to make mistakes and learn. She gave me a lot of feedback on the way I was answering questions and insight into what the interviewers are looking for.
Our sessions gave me the practice and confidence to perform well at the interviews, and I was offered a place at Cambridge! My mentor even introduced me to her friends at the college I’ll be going to.”
