How are The Profs' Oxbridge tutors selected and vetted?

The Profs operates one of the most demanding tutor selection processes in UK tutoring for applicants to the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. We accept just 3% of applicants so every Oxbridge tutor is an expert in subject tutoring, Oxbridge admissions and the specific admissions test or interview format required by the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.

• All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates (PhD/MPhil)
• Every tutor has at least two years' teaching or tutoring experience; the average is over 10 years
• All tutors are fully vetted, pass identity verification and an enhanced DBS check plus KYC
• Many tutors are current or former teachers, examiners or researchers with direct experience of A-Level, GCSE, IB and university assessment
• Tutors are vetted against the exact A-Level, IB or admissions test specification (MAT, STEP, BMAT, TSA, LNAT, etc.) and the Oxbridge application process for each subject

How much progress can applicants make with Oxbridge tuition?
