About Lara
I have just graduated from New College, Oxford where I was an Academic Scholar and read Modern Languages and Literature, specifically German and Modern Greek.
I have tutored part-time for two years now, specifically in English Language and Literature as well as in applications to Oxbridge where I have assisted students hoping to read English Literature and Modern Languages. Here my tutoring has consisted of one-to-one sessions with students, conducting mock interviews, offering feedback and working on various aspects of their application. I also have experience tutoring students in common entrance exams. Before Oxford I attended St Mary's School Ascot.
Theatre and drama have always been a huge part of my life and whilst at Oxford I performed in numerous plays as well as directing and producing various productions, one of which I then transferred to the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2018. I lived in Berlin on my year abroad where I also staged a production of Tom Stoppard's 'The Real Thing'. I achieved Trinity Guildhall acting grades to grade 8 with distinction and LAMDA acting grades to Grade 7 with distinction and 100% in GCSE drama and would be very keen to tutor students in drama and acting.
I come from a large family and am the eldest of five children so have lots of experience with younger children. I also have work experience working in a primary school. I am friendly, warm, outgoing and enthusiastic and am passionate about teaching.

Lara Marks gave me invaluable advice on Oxbridge admissions in 2018-19, constantly delivering precise and detailed feedback throughout the application process, particularly in regards to my personal statement and other submitted documents. Having graduated from Oxford, she is clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to the ins and outs of the system, and is always eager to share her insights!
Thanks to Lara's coaching, I felt at ease once I got to the interview stage of the Oxford University admissions process. I can confidently say that the mock-interviews she offered followed the same structure as that of the actual interviews, and were incredibly helpful. I went into my interview, self-assured and very well-prepared.
Lara is friendly, charismatic, intelligent, and an amazing tutor - I cannot recommend her enough!Lara’s energy, passion and patience are just some of the qualities which mark her as a truly exceptional tutor. Lara taught me so much, and her support and guidance allowed me to develop far more confidence in English Lit than I had before. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
