About Annabel
Unlike interview tutors, I specialise in the written application portion. My MPhil and award-winning dissertation mean I understand what Oxbridge genuinely values: authentic intellectual curiosity, original thinking, and cohesive presentation.
I aim to reframe the often intimidating application timeline as an exciting opportunity to develop your ideas. This structured approach got me accepted at postgraduate level to KCL, LSE, St Andrews, and Cambridge. If this sounds like something that could support you—no matter your background—please get in touch!

1. Progress Review – each lesson we will begin by assessing what's improved since last session
2. Close Reading– identify structural patterns and content gaps in your statement/proposal
3. Targeted Development – each lesson identify 2-3 key standout areas (e.g., opening impact, authentic voice, positioning yourself as a candidate) which crop up.
