Students tell us that, when they see the answer the examiner was looking for, they get it, but that they would have never have known the intended answer on their own.
Our 800+ video solutions have been created by our handpicked team of expert tutors. They have been created to express every thought process, so that you can start to think just like an expert and approach problems or passages of text in the same way.
This video content and the extra practice questions we provide form the basis of the independent study that Mastermind students will do at home.
You will have access to the online resources for 1 year, i.e. until after your admissions test and interview have both taken place.
“Using the online resources, I felt there was somewhere I could turn every time I had a question!”
–Charlotte
“It’s really helpful to see the best way to tackle a question and what to start with. In particular, the use of diagrams to explain problems made a lot the explanations very clear.”
–Siddharth

The pressure of an Oxford interview is real. The number of truly exceptional students that have walked into an interview only to succumb to their nerves is incredible.
Our 1-1 interviews help you avoid this situation and allow you to walk into your interview with confidence.
You’ll get three mock interviews in a two hour session, with detailed feedback after each one.
Becoming comfortable answering tough questions in your subject “out loud” – and facing pushback from the interviewer! – takes some getting used to. Our expert tutors emulate the interview process so you are fully prepared!
We are sure that no other organisation offers such a comprehensive and rigorous package of online and group courses specifically for Geography admissions tests and interview preparation. In the unlikely event that you do find an identical package at a lower price, carried out by tutors with comparable credentials, we guarantee to match the price.
We guarantee the quality of our tutors. All of our tutors are either Oxbridge-educated or hold a PhD from a Russell Group University in a relevant subject. Our tutors go through an intense selection process before they qualify to work with us, and even after that they undergo further training to shape them into the best teachers possible.
There is a 14-day money-back guarantee available to students who attend the first two weekly workshops and send us their notes and marked questions to prove that they have used the online resources. If you have done both of these and you still don’t feel that the programme will benefit you on your journey to Oxbridge, just let us know and we would be happy to refund you your full payment. Please note that, if you have had some 1-1 tuition sessions with us, these will still be payable.
Not to worry, send us a message at support@oxbridgeformula.co.uk with the order number of your previous bundle and we’ll send you a way to purchase the bundle at a further discount.
As a Mastermind student, you get access to ALL of the workshops that we run, and one summer course and one October course (or equivalent). These will initially be allocated to you when you choose the course, but if you change your mind, half way through the year, we can reallocate the courses you have access to.
Everything we do here at the Oxbridge Formula is highly interactive, so you will get a much better experience if you can attend live. Therefore, we recommend you plan around the dates of the intensive courses if possible. Nonetheless, if you absolutely cannot attend, you will also have access to pre-recorded versions after each course has taken place. If practical, we also intend to record parts of the skills workshops. Please note that we are not able to share a recording of the interview group course.
The Mastermind is for students who are aiming for 2024 entry or deferred entry in 2025.
When you apply, you will complete a baseline academic assessment and discuss with us your motivations for applying to Oxbridge to allow us to determine if you are a good fit for the Mastermind. We only work with highly motivated and determined students as our programme requires a good deal of independent study on top of the classes and courses on offer. To be successful, students will need to spend several hours each week on independent study, a level of commitment is required of all students.
