About Madeleine
I am an experienced Oxbridge admissions tutor and current Cambridge supervisor with extensive experience supporting students applying to Oxford and Cambridge.
I hold a First Class BA in History and an MPhil in Modern European History with Distinction, both from the University of Cambridge. Through my academic work and teaching experience within the Cambridge supervision system, I have developed a detailed understanding of the qualities that admissions tutors look for in successful applicants.
I specialise in helping students applying for History and related humanities subjects, providing expert guidance on every stage of the application process, from course selection and personal statements to admissions test preparation and interview practice.
My approach combines rigorous academic challenge with personalised support. I help students develop the intellectual confidence, analytical skills, and independent thinking that are essential for success at Oxbridge and beyond.

Applying to Oxford or Cambridge requires far more than excellent grades. Success depends on demonstrating intellectual curiosity, developing subject-specific skills, and performing confidently in admissions tests and interviews.
My lessons are tailored to each student’s academic interests, strengths, and target course. Sessions focus on building the knowledge, critical thinking, and analytical skills that Oxbridge tutors look for in applicants.
Support can include:
- Strategic guidance on course selection and the application process
- Advice on developing a strong and authentic personal statement
- Preparation for admissions tests, including subject-specific exam techniques
- In-depth exploration of academic topics beyond the school curriculum
- Practice with Oxbridge-style tutorials and mock interviews
- Feedback on written work and guidance on independent reading
Lessons are designed to be challenging, engaging, and supportive, helping students develop the confidence to think independently and communicate their ideas clearly.
Whether you are at the start of your application journey or preparing for final interviews, I provide expert, personalised support to help you present your strongest possible application to Oxford or Cambridge.

Madeleine has been a godsend. She tutored me for A-Level History, and inspired me to pursue the subject at degree level. She helped me at every stage of the Oxford admission process, including brainstorming ideas for the personal statement, choosing which written work to submit and then preparing for the interview. I truly believe that I received an offer solely because of her constant encouragement and help. After I received the offer, she helped me prepare for Oxbridge level History by giving me sessions on historiographical debates and teaching me how to write a Uni level essay. She is always so encouraging and supportive, and made sure I was confident discussing high-level topics.
Madeleine helped prepare my son for his English and History GCSEs. She is a consummate professional, and I can highly recommend her services. She makes difficult content engaging and digestible. She truly cares about her students and is willing to go above and beyond to meet their individual requirements.
I can't recommend working with Madeleine highly enough; I approached her in my capacity as an opera producer for some coaching to be able to inform my production historically, and also for articles I had to write about the historical performance style. She is a fountain of information and gave me so much useful help and support through the process. She has brilliant energy and is genuinely passionate about using her knowledge to help other people! I'll be going back to her for future help and also for tuition for my daughter when the time comes.
