Why choose Uniprep?
Course Dates and Fees
Our intensive 3 hour seminars provide you with an understanding of the skills that are being assessed in either HAT or ELAT. In essence, both of these tests are seeking to identify a potential or flair for independent thinking and critical analysis which will be further developed when reading History or English at Oxford University.
Our carefully selected and very experienced tutors will help you make the leap from A level to university level commentary and analysis. Class sizes are restricted to a maximum six students to ensure you receive individual attention and feedback from your tutor.
Course Outlines 
The Uniprep HAT and ELAT seminars cover:
• Test Structure
• Critical skills (literary or historical) which are being sought
• Writing style and how to structure your answer
• Test practice activities
• Detailed individual feedback and suggestions for improvement
HAT Seminar:
Dr Hazel Gray read Medieval and Modern History at King's College London, and then went on to complete both her MA and PhD at King's College. Dr Gray has over 20 years' experience teaching History, including providing Oxbridge preparation to students with high academic aspirations. Dr Gray has an unusually wide range of historical expertise, and is well-placed to provide individual guidance on the historical approaches and writing styles that are sought in the HAT test.
ELAT Seminar:
Dr James Miller gained a first class degree in English from Oxford University, and distinction in his MA from UCL. He completed his PhD at King's College London and now lectures in the English Department there. Dr Miller has also recently published his first novel to literary acclaim. Dr Miller will focus on the university-level skills of writing a comparative piece of literary analysis where students themselves are expected to identify the specific topic they will write on, as tested in ELAT.
