This, combined with eight years' experience as an interviewer on medicine interview panels at Imperial has made me a welcome addition to practice interview days held in many schools. During this time, I have given practice interviews to thousands of students including Oxbridge and Russell Group applicants across the full range of subject areas. Feedback is consistently excellent with many schools directly attributing the increased success of their students' applications to the work I do.
I have spoken to students, teachers and parents about different aspects of the Higher Education application process, helping sixth form students with their applications and interviews and teachers with UCAS references. For eighteen years, first at LSE and then at Imperial College London, and the past four years at Optimising Futures I have devoted my time to working with hundreds of schools in the UK and in various parts of Europe.
