The summer Admission course has been a good chance to see a range of questions that are from both MAT and STEP. I have enjoyed the feedback that each of the tutors have given and how they suggest different methods that may be quicker or needed if the question is longer. I personally enjoy the range of question lengths and topics as it helps in areas of both strength and weakness.

I've really enjoyed this course, as the content is challenging but impossible and the tutoring is very good.

It was such a useful course and I have learnt so many tips and tricks which will prove to be invaluable in admissions tests. I particularly enjoyed the breakout rooms because it provided me with an opportunity to ask questions in a smaller group and get individual feedback on my thoughts on how to approach a question.

The course has been extremely useful and have found many new methods and techniques that have helped better myself as an aspiring applicant. There are various helpful tutors that offer guidance on all difficult practise problems to help keep you up-to-speed. I never felt daunted during the course and it has been excellent.

We went through multiple techniques to tackle questions. This helped us tackle similar problems in the future which speeds up the working out. You learn to adjust your way of thinking in preparation for admissions tests- would recommend.

It was essentially several maths lessons which spanned 4 days although these maths lessons truly challenge your understanding of maths and not only how to solve a problem but the best way to approach and solve problems in maths.

For anyone looking to improve their problem-solving skills, join this course! Rather than teaching maths formulas and methods that are easily available in most textbooks, this course walks you through and challenges you to develop a strong ability to problem solve and plan solutions from beginning to end. The tutors are great: challenging, easy to understand and great at probing understanding with questions that are just difficult enough. The questions are varied in topic and difficulty, enough that you get a good understanding of many topics.

The course was great! I improved my Maths greatly and would definitely recommend.

The course is very engaging and interactive and really allows you to see improvement and progress in yourself. The tutors are very nice and helpful and regardless of your skill level, they help you to find alternative ways to solve problems and other ways to improve.

I was able to customise how and when I wanted to study which allowed me to focus on what I found difficult and gave me flexibility to focus on other tasks outside of TSA preparation. This was mainly facilitated by there being separate videos for each question and a well structured homepage which showed my progress over time.

10/10 would recommend. It helped me to learn many shortcuts and tricks that helped me answer many problem solving questions quicker and more accurately than before.

The Economics Summer Course was very helpful in getting a deeper dive into economics, and explore its topics with a group of experienced Oxbridge tutors who explained the material thoroughly.

The tutors are excellent. They explain everything in detail and the students are free to ask any questions. The course content was very good. There was a small quiz, covering the essential concepts and ideas and then there were a few problems on each topic which overall help you to master that topic. Also, we were all assigned breakout rooms, where we as a group would discuss ideas and explore various approaches to the question. The quality of the course was excellent. I have definitely got a better understanding and learnt many more techniques from the course and I would definitely recommend the course to others as well. The best bits of the course were:
a) the quality of the content
b) exposure to various different types of problems
c) the breakout rooms

I would say the course is a Bootcamp on all the topics that you can possibly be asked about in the entrance exam. It is a very enjoyable experience given that you are able to discuss problems in small groups and clarify any questions that you may have with tutors. The tutors are very patient and have a very well structured way of explaining things. I have also enjoyed seeing how other people approach problems, enabling me to see how I can improve for next time. The Oxbridge Formula overall, helps you to become more agile and efficient when it comes to solving difficult problems that you are not generally taught in school. I would recommend the course to anyone who gets stuck very easily on difficult problems and is looking for strategies on how to improve their problem-solving skills.

I really enjoyed the course as it really enhanced my problem solving abilities and improved the way I approach problems and plan them. The tutors were great at giving hints and tips leading you to the answers, allowing you to work it out yourself instead of them just telling you. The group work was really good, as it allowed you to collaborate with others in a relaxed but productive way. Overall I would really recommend it to anyone who want to improve their physics problem solving ability.

This course has greatly boosted my confidence for my Cambridge application. It has taught me what to expect in admissions test as well as thoroughly preparing me for any foreign type of question I might encounter at the interview. Some amazing tips and tricks were taught that I couldn't have learnt somewhere else. The group work is also really insightful when listening to many point of views and the summer course was extremely beneficial as we went through most of the topics needed with tons of help and support through tough questions.

The course was really informative and engaging, and clarified a lot on the content of Oxbridge entrance exams, as well as providing a lot of useful tips.

A very thorough course that goes through every topic that can come up in the PAT in detail. In addition, the tutors in the course provide valuable tips and methods of solving common types of problems which helps increase speed as well as accuracy for many types of questions

This course is really valuable in terms of developing my Maths techniques. Although the contents for the Maths problems are not beyond A-level, however, the skills and thinking are much harder. I like the way each tutor is distributed with about 5 students and we discuss a question in the break-out room and then an overall solution is introduced in the main room. This course is strongly recommended as the Maths problems in the 4 days are so inspiring.

This course was a very good course which taught new skills, before then going on to develop these skills further. There was a lot of group discussion balanced with individual work in breakout rooms which all contained a tutor to guide you through the question. The variety of different topics covered was quite large, and I feel that it has really improved both my knowledge and how to apply it.
