Our Promise to Families

A Partner You Can Trust With Your Child's Future

Choosing the right tutoring partner is one of the most important decisions you'll make in the run-up to your child's application. Every Oxbridge Mentors tutor is a graduate of Oxford or Cambridge — personally interviewed, reference-checked, and matched to your child by subject, course, and learning style.

You'll receive session notes after every lesson, transparent progress updates, and a direct line to our team whenever you need it. No black boxes, no surprises.

Secure Online Sessions

All sessions take place over reputable video platforms. Sessions are not recorded unless both parties agree in advance.

All communication between tutors and students uses official channels. Parents can be copied on all correspondence upon request.

Dedicated Safeguarding Lead

We have a named safeguarding lead and a clear process for reporting concerns. Contact us immediately if you have any worries.

What Parents Ask Most

Every tutor on our team studied at Oxford or Cambridge. We verify degree certificates and collect two professional references before any tutor can begin working with students.
Sessions start from £50/hour. We offer pay-as-you-go sessions as well as structured admissions packages tailored to your child's needs. Visit our pricing page for full details, or get in touch for a personalised quote.
Absolutely. Parents are welcome to observe online sessions at any time. All sessions take place over video call, so you can join from the same room or another device.
Your tutor provides detailed session notes after every lesson, shared through our Student Portal. You can view session history, upcoming bookings, tutor feedback, and progress against application milestones at any time.
We want every pairing to be the right fit. If it isn't working, let us know and we'll re-match your child with a different tutor at no extra cost. Getting this right matters to us.
Sessions are arranged at times that suit your family — evenings, weekends, and school holidays are all available. Most families book weekly sessions, but the schedule is fully flexible and can be adjusted as needed.
The Admissions Package is a structured programme tailored to your child's target university, course, and timeline. It typically covers personal statement support, admissions test preparation, and mock interview practice — but the exact mix depends on your child's needs.
The earlier the better, but it's never too late. For Year 12 students, starting 6–12 months before the UCAS deadline is ideal. Year 13 students can still benefit from focused interview and test preparation even a few weeks before their assessments.
