"The students who reach the top aren't necessarily the most talented. They're the ones who were taught by someone who knew exactly how to get there."

Oxbridge Edge was founded on a single principle — that exceptional students deserve exceptional teachers. Not tutors who have read the textbook, but Oxford and Cambridge scholars who have lived the journey: who sat the exams, secured the places, and know from personal experience what it takes to succeed at the very highest level.

Every tutor on our roster holds a place at Oxford or Cambridge, and achieved top grades in the subjects they teach — A* at A-Level as a minimum.

Whether your child is targeting an Oxbridge place or preparing for a demanding university entrance exam such as MAT, STEP or LNAT, our tutors in London and online have the expertise to help.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How quickly can we get started?

Very quickly. Once you submit an enquiry we'll be in touch within 24 hours. We'll match your child with the right tutor based on their target university, course and timeline — and have you set up within 48 hours of your first contact.

How much do sessions cost?

Sessions are priced based on the subject and level of support required. Get in touch for a personalised quote — we'll recommend the right programme and give you full pricing upfront with no hidden costs.

Are sessions in person or online?

Both. We offer in-person sessions across London as well as fully online sessions via video call. Many of our students combine both — in-person for intensive preparation and online for regular weekly sessions.

What if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?

We'll rematch them immediately, no questions asked. The relationship between student and tutor is everything — if it isn't working for any reason, we'll find the right fit. This has rarely been an issue, but we want you to know the option is always there.

My child is in Year 12 — is it too early to start?

Absolutely not — in fact Year 12 is the ideal time to start. Oxbridge applications require a depth of subject knowledge and interview preparation that takes time to build. Students who start early consistently outperform those who begin in Year 13. The earlier you start, the more we can do.

Do you only offer Oxbridge preparation?

Our focus is Oxford, Cambridge and the most competitive university courses — but our tutors can also support applications to Imperial, UCL, LSE, Durham and other top universities. If your child is targeting a highly competitive course anywhere in the UK, we can help.

Which entrance exams do you cover?

We cover all current Oxbridge entrance exams — ESAT (Engineering & Science), TMUA (Mathematics), TARA (PPE, Economics, Psychology), LNAT (Law), UCAT (Medicine) and STEP (Mathematics condition of offer). Our tutors have sat these exams themselves and provide preparation grounded in first-hand experience.

How are your tutors selected?

Every Oxbridge Edge tutor is a current undergraduate or recent graduate of Oxford or Cambridge. We select only those who achieved exceptional results in their own admissions process — so they understand exactly what it takes.
