Our coaches are drawn from a pool of Oxford’s brightest and most accomplished Master’s and PhD researchers. We select candidates with deep academic expertise, teaching experience (often to Oxford undergraduates), and strong interpersonal skills.
-
We are committed to high-quality, consistent, and attentive engagement with our students, both in and outside of our pathway sessions. Coaches will provide full summaries of each session, comprehensive feedback on students’ writing assignments and general learning progress, and weekly notes on past challenges, successes, and future learning goals via e-mail. Coaches will respond promptly to any general or specific questions from parents or students.
-
Our initial complimentary diagnostic call with families provides us with the necessary information to curate customised syllabus plans. We consider students’ interests, skill sets, learning needs, character, and higher education goals when writing our syllabi proposals. We send an outline of our syllabi to families within three days of our call and accommodate any requests for syllabus modification before and during our pathway journey together.
-
Our pathways develop intellectual skills — critical thinking, analytical reading, persuasive writing, public speaking, and others — that transfer to academic and professional settings. We coach our students to apply these skills through entering essay competitions, conducting academic research, publishing creative writing pieces, and other avenues. These pursuits are both inherently rewarding and enhance our students’ academic and professional profiles when the time comes for higher education and career applications.
-
If your coach is not the right fit, we will reassign you to an alternative candidate. We can also accommodate any requests to modify the structure or content of your pathway. If you remain dissatisfied with our services after your third session, you may opt out of your pathway package and receive a refund for all remaining sessions. Any cancellations beyond this point will incur a 50% fee of the total agreed-upon price.
