Build strong foundational skills needed to excel and thrive in top universities and in life with StarWorks
Developed by Oxford and Cambridge graduated tutors for students ages 14 - 17
We developed StarWorks, an online university preparation programme, to help students during their formative years (ages 14 to 17) to discover their innate abilities, to extend their knowledge beyond a school syllabus and to make them capable of finding their own fulfilment in life.
With our experience of guiding over 200 students a year, we mapped out key subjects and skills that will push students towards becoming high achievers.
We equip students with crucial skills to help them survive in a competitive and demanding world such as critical thinking, communication and emotional regulation.
Students tend to cave under pressure or become demoralised in their interest to learn. Our programme addresses their struggles and provides them with tools to help with self-motivation.

Being mindful that students have their own school work and other tasks to accomplish, we aim to provide a healthy dose of work that is not overwhelming.

Jish received a full scholarship to read Jurisprudence at Merton College, University of Oxford, from which he graduated in 2015, winning prizes for best first and second year law student at Merton. For the past six years, Jish has been a solicitor at a global white-shoe law firm, prior to a planned return to Malaysia in 2022. Jish had counselled students in their applications to Oxford and law firms, and been involved in various charities to teach under-privileged kids. He believes that students should be supported in finding a balanced and sustainable approach to academics. Ultimately he believes that learning how to think critically and to ask the right questions are far more important than being taught the subject itself.
