We are Oxford PhD researchers offering 1:1 tutorials, current affairs workshops, and university admissions advice.

Fostering foundational skills

You can’t build a house without scaffolding. That’s why we believe in the vital importance of honing foundational skills like reading, writing, and verbal reasoning.

Resisting AI Dependency

We foster the curiosity and discipline required to engage deeply with ideas themselves, rather than outsourcing thinking and academic work to AI tools.  Training our critical thinking protects us from ideological polarisation, fake news, and the many challenges we all face online.
