If you’re an Oxbridge graduate (or equivalent top-tier university) with outstanding academic credentials and a desire to shape the next generation of high achievers — this is the opportunity that sets you apart.

A prestigious, high-performing secondary school in Kensington is searching for an exceptional Academic Mentor to join their elite support team. This role is designed for the top 1% of graduates who want to operate at the highest level of education, working directly with ambitious students targeting Russell Group and Oxbridge pathways.

This is not classroom observation or basic support work. As an Oxbridge Academic Mentor, you will become a key driver of academic excellence, working with some of the brightest young minds in London.

You will:

• Provide 1:1 and small group mentoring to high-achieving students

• Support Oxbridge, Medicine, and competitive university applications

• Deliver stretch and challenge sessions beyond the national curriculum

• Coach students on critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic writing

• Assist with preparation for entrance exams (e.g. TSA, BMAT, MAT, LNAT)

• Outstanding A-Level results (A*/A grades expected)

• Strong academic background in a core or essay-based subject

• A genuine passion for education and developing young talent

• Confidence, intellectual curiosity, and strong communication skills

Previous tutoring or mentoring experience is highly desirable — but your academic pedigree and drive are what matter most.
