About the founder

I'm Will McCreery, founder of The First Class Method. My journey to an Oxford First-Class degree, graduating among the very top of my year, forged a unique understanding of elite academic success, which I now distill into tailored mentorship for driven students.

What is The First Class Method?

A triangle diagram divided into three levels. The bottom level is labeled 'Conceptual Ascent,' the middle level is labeled 'Socratic Mastery,' and the top level is labeled 'Academic Excellence,' with an icon of a lion's head and a fountain pen at the top.

At its core, The First Class Method is built upon three foundational phases: Conceptual Ascent, Socratic Mastery, and Academic Excellence. This integrated approach ensures not only a profound understanding of subject matter but also the development of critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the strategic mindset demanded by the world's most competitive academic environments.
