Our Vision
Our Vision is to realise every student's aspiration, drawing upon our extensive first-hand experience in higher education and career planning to provide the best-suited coaching programme and mentorship to maximise our students' potential.
​
From strategic career planning to interview preparation, OXBRIDGE GATEWAY help our students to develop a well-rounded skill set and to build on their academic strengths and inner qualities in paving way to a successful higher education and future career.
The ASPIRE Coaching Programme​
​Every student is unique, and so should be our coaching programme.
​
​
The ASPIRE coaching programme is a structured and tailored mentoring programme which is designed differently for each and every student according to their personal aspirations and academic strengths to best prepare them for the challenging university selection processes and beyond.
​
ASPIRE consists of all one-to-one private consultations providing highly tailored training and advice to students. All of our consultants are top-graded Oxbridge graduates or postgraduates highly equipped with UCAS admissions and career mentoring experiences.
We begin each of our programmes with a free private consultation with the applicant and their parents to discuss their applications and to assess their strengths and areas that they will need to focus on for furthering their application. This will be followed by our dedicated senior consultant drawing up a bespoke programme which will be specially tailored to each of our student's background and strengths.

Charting your Path to Success with our ASPIRE Coaching Programme
University application support
We offer review and guidance for our student's university, college and subject selection in relations to their preferences, academic merits and future career plans. Expertise will also be provided to develop a most-suited list of courses and colleges for our candidate's application, drawing on our research and knowledge on factors such as subject support, course assessment process and admissions criteria.
​
We will provide guidance and support during the application processes including the completion and checking of all application forms. Bespoke advice will also be provided on how to write an effective personal statement, where our consultants will review and offer detailed feedback on how the personal statement may be refined.
Admissions test and interview preparation
We support our students to excel in any expected pre-interview and admissions tests through mock tests which our consultants will review and provide detailed feedback for individually. We will also provide a series of subject-specific or general mock interviews with past interview questions to enhance our student's subject knowledge, communication and confidence. Feedback will be provided to the student and their parents following every mock interview in order to track progress, accompanied by suggestions for subject-specific reading lists to extend knowledge beyond syllabus.
​​​
The recommended time of engagement is at pre-A-Levels (or equivalent) or during their first year of A-Levels (or equivalent) to allow time to develop necessary skills and profile for top university admissions processes.
PROFILE BUILDING
& CAREER MENTORING
Profile building is an extended process which begins with a deep passion for a specific discipline, and the profile demonstrates what the student has carried out and achieved to build on their academic interest. Being Oxbridge-graduates themselves, all of our consultants provide first-hand experience in how they have uniquely shaped their profile which allowed them to succeed in their own admissions and subsequent endeavours. We provide specialist recommendations and support to excel in a broad range of extracurricular and supercurricular activities such as academic essay competition to create a distinct and competitive profile with the student.
Our programme provides latest insights into different possible career paths stemming from student's elected subject. All of our consultants are top-graded Oxbridge graduates who have insider and specialist knowledge in their respective fields. Our career mentoring will assist the students in searching and applying for internship placements and research opportunities.
Beyond-syllabus
academic
training
ASPIRE places central emphasis on training our students to be critical thinkers as well as being academic achievers. Our one-to-one beyond-school-level academic training is typically carried out on the bases of other aspects of our ASPIRE Mentoring Programme, such as during pre-interview assessment preparation. Our academic training will help students to develop a systematic and critical approach in self-learning, enhancing their ability to analyse and evaluate issues objectively, and to identify logical connections between facts and ideas.
We see critical thinking and learning as a fundamentally vital skill for not only academic success, but also an attribute important in the new knowledge economy. Our consultants will provide structured training and subject guidance to help enhance our student's abilities to build new connections between academic disciplines, and to develop personal rationales and approaches when faced with unmet academic problems.
university
subject taster programme
We provide expert guidance to Year 9 and Year 10 students to help them develop subject appreciation and support for university course selection through a tailored arrangement of Subject Taster Sessions all conducted by our Oxbridge-qualified subject consultants. Sessions are highly structured to include guided studies and discussions around student's elected subject(s) of interest, preparing students for independent university-level learning.
The consultations are aimed to mirror small group teachings at Oxford and Cambridge which will help students to gain an in-depth understanding of the subjects and to develop the student's confidence in argumentative reasoning and systematic thinking. The Subject Taster sessions will also be aimed at assisting the student in identifying their genuine interest and assisting them in selecting the right university courses to apply for, and the future career paths they are to pursue.
