Unlock your academic potential and achieve your university dreams
with our personalised mentorship and support.

Intellectual Enrichment

Having a passion for the subject you’re applying to makes all the difference. Tutors want students who share their intellectual interests.

We help you identify your subject passions by immersing you in your chosen subject; Mentors help you evidence these interests with resources, to illustrate that your passions are genuine.

Personal Statement Support

Your personal statement is the first opportunity for you to make an impression when applying to university. It’s important for you to stand out, and also to not make mistakes.

We are able to give you advice on how to structure your statement, and provide references for you so that you can show your understanding of the course you are applying to.

Entrance Test Training

Application entrance exams are very different from GCSEs and A Levels. They are set by universities to test your abilities, and make sure that you are ready for the standards they expect.

Working with our Mentors, we are able to help you prepare for these by going through mock tests, and making you aware of what to look out for when taking them.

Interview Preparation

Interview preparation is one of the least covered application areas in school. Oxbridge and other top UK universities conduct interviews with all of their applicants, so it’s vital that students practice, and are fully prepared for questions they might face.

Our Mentors are able to conduct mock interviews with students to help them understand the process, and give guidance on what interviewers are looking for from applicants.

Testimonials

— JULIA

Moving from year 12 to uni is a transition that takes time and effort. Louis at Doxa recommended Nathanael who proved an outstanding mentor and role model while our son was undergoing this transition. His tutoring was at an intellectual level that suited our son; pitching challenges in ways that made them seem more achievable, identifying gaps in in his learning, building his confidence at each step and enjoying shared interests in biosciences. Nathanael's ability to demonstrate how to think through a topic, or solve more complex problems for yourself, will have a lasting impact. In the short-term, he also provided excellent, practical and supportive guidance on the Oxbridge entry process. Nathanael made a tangible difference to our son's belief in his ability to achieve academic excellence, and we heartily recommend him.

One of my classmates recommended Doxa to me when I was applying for Cambridge. In Doxa, I had several sessions with a chemistry mentor (Rebecca) and a physics mentor (Jacob). We mainly talked about some interview-style questions in the sessions. They were really nice and patient. What I especially appreciated was their high scientific literacy.

— TEACHER

We used this service for training our students to strengthen their interview skills. I was so impressed with results that I shall be sending my own son to help him in his interviews to 6th form. I cannot recommend the team highly enough.

— REBECCA

The mock interviews helped greatly in preparing me for the real Oxford interview. I was given detailed feedback and an hour-long Skype conversation to go over the feedback at length. The preparation guided me in deciding which ideas I should develop for the interview and helped me focus on my weaker areas. After the mock interviews, I felt that the real interview was much simpler than expected and I was able to go in with confidence. Would definitely recommend!

— NAOMI

I used Doxa to prep for my Oxford interview and it really helped my application and improved my technique. I ended up getting a place and I’d say that using Doxa played a key role in that. The interviewer was very helpful and the customer service is great. I’d highly recommend using this service.

— MEHRU

The interview training was great; I was surprised how useful it was and how much there was to know. The general pointers really made the difference as well as the actual mock interview. Feedback was great too and helped me know where to focus. Made me feel much more comfortable going into my actual interview; it helped incredibly with building confidence.

Knowing how to structure arguments and speak clearly was something I hadn't thought about much prior to speaking to Kes and James. However, I realised its importance in the actual interview and was glad I had prepared. Overall, really recommend and wish these guys the best of luck! I'll definitely be back if I have another interview.

— SELENA

They are very responsive to my request, which I made on the website. I was working with Kes to help my masters application to UCL and Imperial Business School. I got the offer from both universities.

Doxa were very patient with my requests and prepared for the sessions. He also sent me task reminders before the session started, which was helpful as I was a full-time student at the time. It was a very good experience overall. I highly recommend it for people who want to apply to top-tier universities.

— DOXA CLIENT

We were very pleased with the interview practice sessions arranged with Doxa. They listened to what we wanted and provided suitable tutors accordingly. Both tutors were very helpful and encouraging and my son found the sessions very useful for his university interviews. The organisation and communication was also very good!

— DOXA CLIENT

I was in need of someone who can read and give me feedback on my personal statement and I eventually came across Doxa. I have received the best service from them and their tutors who are extremely eligible to review personal statements. Because of their support, I got an offer from my first choice which places a heavy emphasis on personal statements. Extremely happy to have worked with Doxa and its tutors!

— DOXA CLIENT

Even though I’m not preparing for a school entrance I used this to increase my skills for the future. The interviewers’ questions challenged me, to begin with, I was a little irritated but that’s because I was having to think through my answers. The main thing I took away from this is to stay with my convictions. I was being gently pushed to see if I could back up my arguments. When I saw the report afterwards I understood why I was being challenged. It’s really changed how I would conduct myself in an interview situation now. I think everyone should have access to this.

— DOXA PARENT

Great company, my son really benefited from his session. Not only was he given great feedback on how to improve his skills for the interviews at competitive schools, but he was given confidence in the things he did know. The feedback was constructive with clear steps for us to work on too. Very friendly and reliable. Communication thereafter was outstanding! Highly recommend them.

— DOXA CLIENT

I had a couple of mock interviews with Doxa and managed to secure a place to study Medicine at Oxford. The tutors were friendly and knowledgeable and were great at explaining everything I didn’t fully understand. Thanks!

— LOUIE, SUCCESSFUL OXFORD APPLICANT

“By continuous interviews with three tutors, I was able to do the real thing comfortably. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the staff and tutors.”

— GRACE, SUCCESSFUL CAMBRIDGE APPLICANT

“The advice I was given was invaluable. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone wanting to make a successful application.”

— DOXA CLIENT

"In a short time, Doxa were able to find the type of tutors I needed based on the information I provided about my interview. They were well-organised and polite and the actual mock interviews were as realistic as you could expect given the slightly random nature of the true interviews. They were also very generous with the length of the sessions and some of the questions were very similar to what came up in my real interview."

— DOXA CLIENT

"I received an offer from Oxford for Engineering Science. I did a number of mock interviews by Skype. Since I am Korean, I wasn't comfortable explaining the academic description of the question. By continuous interviews with three tutors, I was able to do the real interview in Oxford really comfortably. I would like to express sincere thanks to the supporting staff and tutors."

— DOXA CLIENT

"The advice I was given on my Personal Statement was invaluable and made such a difference to my application. The specific and detailed advice that they gave me was different to any help given at school and the session was friendly and enjoyable but also extremely productive. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone wanting to make a successful application to Oxbridge."

— TÉO, SUCCESSFUL CAMBRIDGE APPLICANT

“My sessions with Doxa… were easy to organise, and the mentors were both friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and as I would later find out, very accurately replicated the structure and atmosphere of the interview. They answered all of my questions thoroughly, and gave me valuable feedback, including the opportunity to work on my graph sketching. Since my interview, Doxa and the mentors have also kept in touch to support me and see how I’m doing, which I have greatly appreciated.”
