Hanan International · GLOBAL EDUCATION
One-to-one mentoring from Oxford, Cambridge, G5 and Ivy League tutors — from school selection and essay polishing to multi-tutor mock interviews, turning your dream school into an offer in hand.
Our tutor network spans Oxford Cambridge Imperial College London LSE UCL Harvard Yale Stanford MIT
Four things others find hard to replicate form the core of what makes us different.
Every tutor has successfully walked the path you are about to take — currently studying at or graduated from Oxford, Cambridge, G5 or the Ivy League. They know the courses, the interviews, and how admissions officers think.
Our signature rotation: three or more tutors from different backgrounds — all new faces to the student — conduct mock interviews in turn, recreating the uncertainty and pressure of a real Oxbridge interview.
A bespoke visual roadmap for every application, with progress on each milestone visible to students and parents alike — no more "black box" agencies.
Every enquiry and question receives a reply within 48 hours. Every minute of application season is precious and should never be wasted waiting.
One program covering the entire journey from positioning to offer: school strategy, profile building, essay refinement, admissions test preparation and multi-tutor mock interviews — through to your final decision. Three tiers of engagement to match different goals and budgets.
The UK and US are our flagship grounds, with Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore running in parallel — one plan, multiple pathways.

Behind every offer lies a strategy and a method that can be applied again.
The interview rotation was the single most important preparation for my offer — by the third round, I was no longer afraid of any question. The real interview ended up feeling like the easiest one.
My tutor actually studied this subject at Cambridge, and she instantly spotted the passages in my essay that read "like reciting a textbook". After the rewrite, that personal statement became the anchor of my entire application.
As a parent, what moved me most was the transparency: what happens at each stage, why it happens, and how much it costs — all crystal clear. It never felt like handing my child to an agency; it felt like fighting alongside a team.
Between a non-target university and Columbia lay more than hard work — it was the differentiated story Hanan International helped me find. It turned out I had been underselling my own experience all along.
If you are not satisfied after the first formal lesson, you receive an unconditional full refund. The experience itself is our best argument.
Any disappointing result earns you a detailed review report — even if we part ways, you take the method with you.
Not a penny beyond the contract. Every fee structure is confirmed in writing before the service begins — no surprises later.
Traditional agencies trade on an information gap; we close a capability gap. All of our tutors are current students or graduates of Oxford, Cambridge, G5 or Ivy League universities, guiding you through admissions tests, interviews and essays from first-hand experience. Mechanised methods such as the Mock Interview Carousel turn "experience" into a repeatable training system.
For undergraduate applications we recommend starting 1–2 years ahead (Oxbridge tests and interviews require long-term build-up). For master's applications, begin planning your profile in the autumn of your penultimate year and move into essays and school selection in the spring. That said, whenever you start, we begin with an honest feasibility assessment.
We cover the UK and the US (our flagship destinations) as well as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong SAR and Singapore. We focus primarily on undergraduate and master's applications.
Along three dimensions: subject fit (same or closely related discipline), school fit (currently at or graduated from your target university), and style fit (both sides confirm rapport during the free assessment session). You may request a change at any time if the fit is not right, and changes do not consume tutoring hours.
Different programmes and hour combinations correspond to different levels of investment (see the transparent pricing table on the Fees & Pricing page). We always assess first and quote afterwards — after your free 30-minute assessment you receive a written proposal with exact pricing. You will never be asked to pay before we talk.
Not satisfied after the first lesson? A 100% refund. During the service period you can change tutors free of charge. If the final outcome falls short of expectations, we provide a free in-depth review report to turn the experience into an asset for your next step.
