Elfi Pallis has for many years successfully mentored students aiming for Oxbridge. She also runs advice sessions for teachers and parents on how to help able young people from all backgrounds prepare for its admissions process. As a journalist, academic researcher and media producer, she created programmes on education and still writes on it for a range of publications. Pallis came to look into Oxbridge entrance after editing the London quarterly of the National Association for Gifted Children and running workshops for poor but gifted pupils. She was shocked to find that even the very brightest did not usually reach Oxbridge. After extensive research and interviews conducted with Oxbridge students and dons, she wrote her family guide, OXBRIDGE ENTRANCE: THE REAL RULES, which is annually updated. Since it first appeared, the author has received a steady flow of thank-you posts from delighted readers. Many insist they would never have got into Oxford or Cambridge without it. Some would not even have considered applying. After following its advice, though, all are now thriving at Oxbridge both academically and socially. See less
