Oxford Mentors, Not Tutors
We believe in mentorship, not passive tutoring.
Every student is paired with a current Oxford student studying their course, providing first-hand insight into the admissions processes, and how to succeed.

Altheone is a boutique Oxford admissions advisory founded by current Oxford students, providing personalised one-to-one mentoring for ambitious international applicants across the UAE and beyond. We combine personalised strategy, application guidance, admissions test preparation, and interview mentoring to help exceptional students navigate one of the world's most selective admissions processes with clarity and confidence.

Attention. Precision. Distinction. Three principles govern every mentorship we accept.

Every engagement begins with The Altheone Assessment.
We evaluate academic strengths, identify areas of risk, and design a preparation strategy tailored to each student's profile, subject and application timeline. As students progress, we continuously adapt our approach to maximise their chances of success.
Our mentorship does not end with the Oxford offer.
Where appropriate, we remain available as mentors throughout the transition to university, offering guidance as students begin their Oxford journey. We foster lifelong relationships.
Every mentoring programme begins with an individual assessment, allowing us to design mentoring around your ambitions and goals.
Begin with a comprehensive diagnostic led by a current Oxford student. Through academic discussion, application review and interview-style questioning, we create a personal profile before making any recommendations.
Following the assessment, you'll receive a: - A detailed strategy report outlining your current position - Areas for improvement - A clear roadmap for the months ahead.
Based on the assessment, we'll recommend the most appropriate next step. Most choose to continue with one of our tailored mentoring programmes. We recommend programmes only when we believe they will meaningfully improve a student's application.
