Chay A

I am a graduate of London (B.A.), Oxford (M.St.) and Cambridge Universities (M.Phil) and am now finishing my D.Phil. (PhD) at Christ Church, Oxford. I have worked as a freelance journalist and sub-editor for international publications including The Financial Times and Frieze. I have also taught undergraduate courses at Oxford for the past five years and have been an admissions interviewer at Christ Church, Oxford.

I am an academic by training and have a wealth of experience teaching undergraduates at university level. My knowledge of the admissions process and the academic expectations of universities such as Oxford enables me to offer valuable advice concerning university applications. I also bring a wealth of experience in editing and proofreading from my work at The Financial Times, Frieze and The Art Book. I am friendly, patient and conscientious and enjoy using my experience to help others. I look forward to working with you!
