About Oliver

I'm a top tutor well recognised for my achievements as an award-winning Oxbridge graduate, with a successful career beyond education.
I help students excel in their applications to UK universities, offering SuperProf students a discounted £59/h rate. I have a highly effective mentorship style and a strong track record, with students typically paying £150-200/h when hiring me through a company.

I have helped my students win offers at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, KCL, Durham, and Warwick, as well as other fantastic universities. Having supported 100+ long-term students across 5 admissions cycles and 10 countries, my experience is much deeper than most tutors on this platform. Beyond those mentioned, I have also helped students secure places at Ivy League colleges from Bachelor's to PhD, and can support applications for humanities, social sciences and STEM subjects.

My academic track record is strong: this is usually the main reason students choose me. I achieved top in the Oxford entrance exam in my college and won multiple prestigious prizes. For example, I won the Isaiah Berlin Prize for Y2 exam results, warned multiple high firsts for innovative quant research projects, and a first for my final dissertation. In my spare time I ran an academic organisation with 70+ contributors across 12 timezones. I then went on to receive a full scholarship from a top 15 global university with an acceptance rate lower than Harvard, and founded a successful startup in China.

Please do not hesitate to reach out! I would love to set up a free consultation session to discuss how I can help you achieve your full academic potential.

Perfect! Oliver has been an exceptional tutor throughout my PPE interview preparation. His feedback is sharp, specific, and always pushes me to refine my reasoning rather than rely on surface-level answers. He consistently challenges me with questions that mirror the depth and style of real Oxford interviews. I’ve seen clear improvements in clarity, pacing, and analytic thinking because of his guidance. I’d highly recommend him to anyone preparing seriously for PPE.

Oliver's response
Pranjal was a fantastic student to teach. We worked on interview preparations and took several different approaches, improving fluency in discussing complex academic subjects whilst adding personality and flair to her answers. She was always responsive to feedback and improved remarkably throughout our sessions. I'm sure she will do very well in the future, wherever life takes her.

Oliver is currently tutoring me for my PPE application. His tutorial style approach has helped me to not only improve my confidence and eloquence in interview settings but has also been a great help in vastly improving my knowledge base in all three areas of: Politics, Philosophy and Economics.

Oliver has been such a great help and is always available in between sessions via email to answer any questions that I have. His passion for the subject shines through and has helped me to improve mine.

I couldn’t recommend Oliver highly enough. He is such a great help in the application process and generally for improving knowledge. Oliver is always prepared and provides relevant and interesting resources from articles to books to Youtube videos. From the beginning I found him polite and patient and he is great at explaining new concepts.

Oliver guided me through the Oxbridge Application process. He creates a learning environment where you can learn without the worry of getting things wrong. His lessons were well-planned and I enjoyed how thought-provoking and engaging each session was. His genuine interest in my development was clear to see and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Olive tutored me in philosophy in preparation for my university applications. He is incredibly good at walking students through complicated ideas and simplifying concepts. He was also attentive to my ideas and engaged me in conversation to solidify my understanding.

I met Oliver a few months ago, when I started preparing for my Oxford exam. He was recommended to me as one of the best people who could help me get past the TSA. After working with him, I can genuinely say that there is no other person I would have wanted to be my mentor.
From critical thinking questions to essays about morality and political doctrine, Oliver had always offered me the best advice in terms of writing, structuring my ideas and choosing the best rhetoric. We talked about political theory, social trends in our current society and I eventually learned a lot from him about Philosophy concepts.
As a future PPE student in the UK, I can sincerely say that Oliver is the best person who influenced my thinking and decision-making process. His patience for revising essays, his promptitude in meetings and dedication to explain new lessons would be a perfect fit for any student wishing to get some help.
