In partnership with your school

UK & Oxbridge admissions support
in partnership with your school

Mentors who studied the exact course your students are applying to. Free first-touch programmes, delivered beside your guidance office — with no referral fees and no cost to the school.

The gap we close

UK admissions are not US admissions

UK admissions are course-specific, test-heavy, and interview-driven — and they work nothing like the US system most international guidance is built around. Students apply to a single course, sit subject admissions tests, and face academic interviews.

We are the UK-specialist layer beside your guidance office — not a replacement for it. Your team knows your students; we add the course-specific, interview, and test expertise that only graduates of the process can give.

Free first-touch programmes

Eight ways to start — at no cost

Free during a first-year partnership. Online or in person. No cost to the school.

1
Year 12 & 13

UK Admissions Assembly

A whole-cohort talk on how UK and Oxbridge admissions actually work: timelines, UCAS, course choice, and what admissions tutors look for. Demystifies the process for students and staff alike.

2
Year 12 & 13

Oxbridge-Style Mock Interview Day

Realistic 1-to-1 mock interviews run by graduates of the exact course, in the same format students will face. Each student receives written feedback on reasoning, communication, and subject knowledge.

3
Year 12 & 13

Personal Statement Workshop

A practical workshop on what makes a strong UCAS personal statement, the most common mistakes, and how to show genuine intellectual engagement. Optional individual feedback follows.

4
Year 12 & 13

Admissions-Test Seminar

A subject-specific seminar on the relevant admissions test — TSA, LNAT, ESAT, MAT and others — covering format, strategy, and the problem-solving examiners reward.

5
Teaching & guidance staff

Teacher CPD Session

Continuing professional development for teachers and counsellors on supporting UK and Oxbridge applicants effectively — common misconceptions, the realities of the process, and how to spot potential.

6
Parents & guardians

Parent Evening

An evening session for parents on the UK admissions journey, costs, timelines, and how families can support an application from overseas — in clear, jargon-free terms.

7
Year 11 to 13

Subject Taster Lecture

A short, university-style lecture in a chosen subject delivered by a specialist mentor — designed to build the supercurricular curiosity that strong applications and interviews depend on.

8
Year 9 to 11

Early-Careers Session

An aspirations-raising session for younger students on UK university pathways and the choices that keep options open later — sown early, before subject decisions are made.

Two ways to partner

Choose the model that fits your school

Model A

School-Contracted

Your school is the contracting party. Delivery sits inside your school’s own safeguarding framework, and we work to your policies and named staff.

  • School holds the agreement and oversees delivery
  • Delivered under your safeguarding policy and DSL
  • Best where the school funds or coordinates the programme
Model B

Approved Provider

Families contract us directly. Your school simply recommends or lists us as an approved provider. There are zero referral fees — ever.

  • No financial relationship between us and the school
  • School recommends; families choose and contract directly
  • Best where the school prefers to stay at arm’s length

No referral fees, ever.

Partner School Basic Support

Free with any partnership — Model A or Model B.

Monthly group Q&A for applicants
Recorded webinar library
One mock interview per applicant, per cycle

  • Professional Indemnity (£1M) and Public Liability (£5M); certificates provided before any in-person delivery.
  • Safeguarding policy aligned to KCSIE; named Designated Safeguarding Lead.
  • All mentors complete child-protection training as part of onboarding.

Questions counsellors ask us

Are you replacing our counsellors?
No. We are a UK- and Oxbridge-specialist layer that works beside your guidance office, not a replacement. Your team keeps ownership of the student relationship; we add course-specific, interview, and test expertise.
Do you pay schools or staff referral fees?
No, never. This is explicit in our Model B (Approved Provider) agreement. Families contract us directly and no money flows to the school or its staff.
Safeguarding — who will be near our students?
In person, DBS-checked mentors only. Our safeguarding policy is aligned to KCSIE with a named Designated Safeguarding Lead, and all mentors complete child-protection training during onboarding. Under Model A, delivery sits inside your own safeguarding framework.
Are you insured?
Yes. Professional Indemnity (£1M) and Public Liability (£5M). Certificates are provided before any in-person delivery.
What is your track record?
Our students receive 25+ Oxbridge offers and 40+ Imperial offers each year, alongside UCL, LSE and wider Russell Group offers. An anonymised outcomes summary is available on request — we never publish student names.
Are you legitimate and qualified?
Our mentors are graduates of the exact course students apply to. We are Oxbridge Mentors Ltd, registered in England & Wales (Company No. 16862372). Company-level accreditations are in progress and will be listed here only once formally awarded.
How do you handle data and privacy?
We work in line with Japan’s APPI. We hold no student data without consent, and we never access your school’s systems. See our privacy policy for full detail.
What does it cost the school?
The eight first-touch programmes and Partner School Basic Support are free — no cost to the school. Only families who want intensive 1-to-1 mentoring pay, and they contract us directly.
What language is the mentoring in?
Mentoring is delivered in English (as the admissions process requires), with bilingual communications and a LINE channel for families. JP-relatable mentors are available where helpful.
Online or in person?
Both. In-person delivery is around Tokyo and the wider Kanto area; online delivery and online mock interviews are available nationwide.
How do we start without committing?
Run one free assembly or mock interview day, with no contract. Decide whether to go further afterwards. There is no obligation.
What do you need from us to run a session?
A date, a room (or a Zoom link), approximate student numbers, and one staff contact for the day. We handle everything else.
