About Joshua
I'm Joshua, an experienced college consultant, specialising in UCAS and Common App (US) applications. I started in 2022 to help friends apply to US and UK universities, having gotten into top universities including Oxford, Columbia, and other top Russell Group and US unis (across a range of subjects including CS, Maths, Economy, and Philosophy) During this time, I kept seeing the same pattern behind successful applications: passionate students who were willing to apply themselves both in academics and beyond. To help more students join these successful applicants in top universities, I began to provide high quality college application advice to help prospective students get into their dream universities. From essay writing to interview prep, I provide applicable implementable and concise feedback to make you a competitive candidate. Students I have worked with have gotten into top universities like Harvard, Oxbridge, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and more.

I offer a free, no strings attached consultation call prior to lessons starting. So if you're interested, feel free to reach out! I have worked with students across disciplines ranging from CS, Economy, to Philosophy. Services for prospective applicants:
- Personal Statement overview: I have worked with UK and US applicants for over three years, reviewing their essays. I go over your UCAS, Common App, University specific essays to help you get the best results.
-CV audit: university applications are competitive. Extra-curricular activities are very important in demonstrating interests. I can go over your current CV and activities to suggest what you might want to pick up and what you might want to drop.
- Interview prep: (for Philosophy/ Theology/ Religious Studies applicants) I provide mock interviews and give feedback to ensure top performance and confidence entering into your Oxbridge interviews.

Joshua is a great tutor, who helped me improve my writing and philosophical thinking skills!
Josh is super helpful and patient. He is able to truly think from the other person's perspective and offer the best advice. He explained Kant and Hume’s arguments extremely clearly! Highly recommend if you need help with any philosophy work!
Joshua is patient, encouraging, and extremely clear in his explanations. He helped build both my understanding and confidence. I’d strongly recommend him.
Very experienced and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Joshua, especially if you are applying for humanities or social sciences.
I've known Joshua for many years, and he's one of the strongest essay writers and tutors I've come across—even though I studied at Harvard University for four years.
What really impresses me is how Josh works with people. He's genuinely supportive, stays positive even when tackling difficult material, and shows up consistently. He is someone you can count on.I discovered Joshua through his successful YouTube channel, where he perfectly demonstrates his ability to explain philosophical and theological concepts with clarity and clear understanding. Since getting to know Joshua, I am only more impressed. I would highly recommend working with him.
He explain concepts clearly and structure lessons in a way that makes learning manageable and effective. He encourage independent thinking rather than just giving answers, which really helps with understanding.
I am delighted to provide this recommendation for Joshua, whom I have known since we were students together at the University of Oxford. Our friendship, built on mutual respect and shared academic pursuits, has given me deep insight into his character, expertise, and dedication.
Joshua holds a first-class degree in Philosophy and Theology from Oxford, which has provided him with a rigorous intellectual foundation. However, what truly sets him apart is how he applies this knowledge in practical, impactful ways. As an experienced counsellor and author specialising in university applications, he has authored two highly regarded books on the subject and runs multiple educational YouTube channels aimed at demystifying the application process for students interested in philosophy and beyond. His content is thoughtful, well-researched, and consistently focused on empowering students.
Joshua’s tutoring style is patient, reflective, and deeply personalised. He doesn’t just teach—he listens, understands, and guides. Whether helping students craft compelling personal statements, prepare for interviews, or navigate complex subject matter, he combines academic excellence with genuine empathy. His background in philosophy and theology also brings a unique perspective to his mentoring, encouraging students to think critically and reflect on their goals and values.
I recommend Joshua without reservation to the Superprof community. He is not only highly qualified and exceptionally knowledgeable but also a person of great integrity and warmth. As a trustworthy friend and a dedicated educator, he embodies the values of confidence and reputation that Superprof stands for. Any student working with Joshua will benefit not only from his expertise but also from his sincere commitment to their growth and success.He is a highly competent and intelligent teacher of philosophy and theology. Could both break down the most complex topics in an easily digestible way whilst also holding the capacity to engage in deeply intellectually engaging discussions. Would highly recommend.
I watch Joshua’s videos on YouTube, and I always get the impression that facts matter more to him than defending his own positions. He is someone who interviews and speaks with people who hold completely opposing views, which shows that he is genuinely open to hearing different ideas. For almost everything he presents, he often provides references or recommends books from which he has studied the material. I consider him one of the most objective people on the YouTube scene. I myself am a YouTuber and have interviewed scholars from Cambridge, Oxford, St Andrews, and elsewhere, but Joshua is an excellent lecturer whom I would especially like to highlight and recommend.
