Everything you need to know about OxbridgeAI, TMUA, ESAT, the platform and how it works.
Getting started
Go to oxbridgeaitutor.com/signup. Select whether you are a student, parent or teacher. Students choose their target exam (TMUA or ESAT) and subject. You can start the free trial immediately — no credit card required.
Yes. You can access diagnostic questions and sample AI tutor sessions for free. Full preparation access unlocks after the £100 one-time payment.
No. OxbridgeAI is entirely web-based and works on any modern browser on any device.
Most students prepare for 8–14 weeks before their exam. The platform adapts to your schedule and always prioritises your most urgent weak areas.
Exams & university requirements
TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission), ESAT (Engineering and Science Admissions Test) and Oxbridge admissions interview preparation.
TMUA is required or recommended by Cambridge, Oxford (Maths and Computer Science from 2026/27 onwards), Imperial, UCL, LSE, Warwick, Durham, Bath, Cardiff, Sheffield, Lancaster and Southampton. It applies to Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science and related quantitative degrees. Always check the specific course page as requirements change annually.
ESAT is required by Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and UCL for Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science, Physics and Chemical Engineering degrees. Cambridge and Oxford applicants must sit in the October session.
TMUA sits in October and January each year. Cambridge applicants must sit October. All other universities accept either sitting. Registration typically opens in August.
ESAT sits in October and January each year. Cambridge and Oxford applicants must sit October. Imperial and UCL accept either sitting. Registration opens in June.
Yes. Warwick uses TMUA for Computer Science (compulsory) and recommends it for Economics and Mathematics. Check the specific Warwick course page to confirm.
LSE requires TMUA for BSc Economics and BSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics, and recommends it for several other maths and economics degrees. Check the specific LSE course page.
ESAT. Oxford replaced its in-house engineering admissions test with ESAT from the 2025/26 cycle. Oxford Engineering applicants must sit ESAT in October.
It depends on the course. Engineering, Natural Sciences, Chemical Engineering and Veterinary Medicine require ESAT. Mathematics requires TMUA. Computer Science may require both — check the Cambridge course page. Cambridge applicants sit in October for both tests.
The platform & features
The AI tutor uses the Socratic method — it asks you questions to guide you toward understanding, rather than giving you the answer. It adapts difficulty to your current mastery level in real time and is available 24/7.
A built-in whiteboard where students write their full working using a stylus. The AI reads the handwritten working directly, identifies exactly where the mistake occurred, and explains the correct approach step by step — the same feedback loop as a human tutor, available at any hour.
Yes. The whiteboard is designed for use with a stylus on a tablet. It works on iPad and other stylus-enabled devices.
Every topic has a mastery level that updates in real time. ESAT: Warming Up → Needs Focus → Building → Strong → Exam Ready. TMUA: GRAY → RED → AMBER → GREEN → GOLD. A topic only advances when genuine mastery is demonstrated across multiple questions, and topics decay if not revisited — so the system schedules spaced reviews automatically.
Yes. Students can take timed TMUA and ESAT mocks at any time. Readiness signals recommend when an attempt is likely to be most useful, and each completed mock includes a detailed breakdown by topic.
Yes. It is fully web-based and works on mobile, tablet and laptop.
For parents — safety & trust
OxbridgeAI was built by students who went through this exact process themselves and got Oxford offers. Every question and explanation was curated and validated by Oxford Engineering graduates, built to the exact spec of TMUA and ESAT past papers. In beta testing, two students scored in the top 3% globally and both received Oxford offers.
The AI tutor operates within tightly controlled parameters. It does not generate explanations from scratch — it works from verified question content and solution logic built by Oxford Engineering graduates. If you have a concern about a specific explanation, contact vlad@outclass.tech and we will review it immediately.
ChatGPT has no structure, no curriculum, no mastery tracking, no exam-specific question bank, and no way to review written working. OxbridgeAI has all of those, built specifically around TMUA and ESAT, and shows you as a parent exactly where your child stands.
The AI specifically does not give answers — it asks questions and guides, the same philosophy as the best human tutors. Students have to work through problems themselves; the AI just makes sure they never get permanently stuck or go unchallenged.
The minimum necessary: name, email, school, target university, target course and session activity. No data is sold to third parties. The platform is GDPR-compliant and a full Privacy Impact Assessment has been completed. Contact vlad@outclass.tech for the full documentation.
Yes. Data is stored on secure servers within the UK/EU. Student data is never shared with third parties or used to train external AI models. The platform complies with the UK GDPR and the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code.
Yes. The parent dashboard shows every session, mastery level for every topic, when they last practiced and how many sessions this week. An AI mentor answers your questions in plain English — for example "Is my child on track for October?"
No, intentionally. Raw scores can be anxiety-inducing and misleading without context. The dashboard shows mastery levels and trajectory — whether your child is improving, stagnating or falling behind.
We recommend 3–5 sessions per week of 25 minutes each, starting 10–14 weeks before the exam. The parent dashboard shows the actual session count each week.
OxbridgeAI works well alongside a human tutor. It handles daily practice and identifies weak areas, so tutor sessions can focus on what needs human attention — often reducing the number of tutor hours needed.
In beta testing at Brighton College, two students scored in the top 3% globally and both received Oxford offers — a 100% Oxbridge offer rate in the beta cohort. The platform is live at Brighton College where Miss Duelas uses it for ESAT preparation.
A real product built by Vlad Agureev, an Oxford Engineering offer holder from Brighton College, alongside his two older brothers, both Oxford Engineering graduates. It is live at a real school with real students and results — Vlad's full focus before he starts at Oxford in October 2026.
For schools & teachers
Yes. OxbridgeAI is live at Brighton College, where Miss Duelas uses it for ESAT preparation. Teachers can create class codes and manage students through a dedicated teacher dashboard. Contact vlad@outclass.tech to discuss school-wide access.
Teachers see all enrolled students in one view with status indicators, identify which topics the class is struggling with, and use an AI class assistant to answer questions like "which students need intervention this week?" Weekly class summaries are also available.
Yes. OxbridgeAI provides a Data Processing Agreement for schools. Contact vlad@outclass.tech to request one before deployment.
Pricing & payment
£100 as a one-time payment per test type. TMUA is £100. ESAT is £100. There is a free trial before payment is required. No monthly fees, no subscription.
No. One payment of £100 covers full access to preparation for one test type. There are no recurring charges.
Almost certainly not. Most students only need one test. TMUA covers Maths, Economics and Computer Science at most universities; ESAT covers Engineering and Science at Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and UCL.
Contact vlad@outclass.tech within 14 days of payment to request a refund.
