I am Shivaun Mason and I provide expert advice on your university application to help you stand out and secure the best education opportunities.
​
I help Sixth Form students in Gibraltar and beyond with their applications to universities in the UK, including Oxbridge, and the United States.
About Me
I have been a teacher for 34 years and for the last 20 years I have held senior sixth form leadership roles at Prior Park School in Gibraltar and Wycombe Abbey School in the UK. I am therefore an authority on university applications, including Oxbridge, from start to finish. I have many years of experience of assisting students to make the best choices and consequently receive offers when it comes to Higher Education.
I am a member of the International Association for College Admissions Counselling (IACAC).
About You
I work with A level students who are keen to know the best way to navigate their future higher education aspirations. They may already have a clear idea of their academic ambitions and come to me with a plan they want my help to execute, or they may need more help initially in order to explore the many choices they have and find the best course for them.
​
I use my experience to ensure they understand the best way forward and help them secure offers from institutions where they will thrive.
How i can Help you

Pretest and Interview Advice

Why work with a higher education consultant?
Working with an expert in the field of higher education leads to better choices and better outcomes. Young people and their parents can be daunted by the prospect of choosing the right course and institution and using a consultant makes the process much easier and more enjoyable.
​
A consultant makes the process personal to you by getting to know your strengths and aspirations through one to one meetings and then making you aware of options you had not considered.
​
They then help you navigate the application process and support you with creating the best materials which really showcase your talents.
​
Balancing your academic studies while applying to universities is not easy. A consultant takes some of that pressure away by ensuring you understand the deadlines and avoid common mistakes which can lead to rejections. They can also advise you on available scholarships and funding options which is particularly useful if you are applying to American institutions.
