I'm Jennifer Pitcher, a finalist reading BA English and Spanish at Exeter College, University of Oxford. I know the admissions process from the inside: the reading that interests an admissions tutor, the difference between a polished statement and a memorable one, and how to stay clear-headed in an interview.
I went to a comprehensive state school with a year group of hundreds, and only my twin sister and I were offered places at Oxbridge. As is the case for many students, particularly those applying from state schools, we had little structured support in our Oxbridge applications. So, we built it ourselves. We read widely, sat each other through mock interviews, and slowly worked out what these universities are actually looking for. The process of familiarising myself with the application process taught me something I now believe firmly. What separates students who succeed is rarely ability; far more often it is whether they were given the right environment in which to flourish and reach their full potential. That is what our lessons offer: an extra point in the support network around your child as their academic goals come to fruition.
Throughout my degree, I have built up hundreds of hours of experience working with students from a wide range of backgrounds and ability levels, from 11+ to university admissions. I have also gained hands-on classroom experience, from working as a language assistant in a Spanish primary school, to visiting prestigious institutions such as Concord College and delivering workshops on analytical thinking to students considering Oxbridge. I am a passionate and encouraging tutor, who truly cares about giving each student the greatest possible chance to reach their fullest potential.
I understand the chaos and intensity of education. Students often have a great many commitments to contend with during their studies, and learning to carry them all is part of the work. While at school I earned a black belt in taekwondo and learned to fly an aircraft solo at seventeen, all while achieving Grade 9s across my GCSEs and an offer from Oxford. Helping your child navigate the admissions process as efficiently as possible, without it swallowing everything else, is central to what I do.
I work with a small number of students at a time so that each receives close, individual attention. I hold an enhanced DBS check and follow a clear safeguarding policy, available on request.
