Following tutelage from the present headmaster of Eton College, Mr Simon Henderson, and the completion of a Doctorate in Education at UCL, where I am now an honorary research fellow, I work specifically on applications to top independent schools in the UK. In the past few years, my students have joined Eton, Winchester, Westminster, Wycombe Abbey, Cheltenham Ladies College, Brighton College, Highgate, Benenden, St Paul’s, and many other top schools. My 10+ years of experience in this field has provided me with the knowledge and experience to ensure I can recommend the most suitable schools for a student and then provide the necessary tuition and guidance to help the student attain a place at their desired school. In terms of tuition, I am a firm believer in developing the skills that entrance assessments seek to identify while helping students foster the abilities and characteristics top schools regard most favourably – critical thinking and analysis, thinking outside of the box, compassion and empathy, creativity, etc. All lessons are bespoke to meet the needs of each student and are related to the specific schools they wish to join. Comprehension, writing, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, maths and interview practice are generally the key areas that I work on with a student, but in some cases, humanities and geography are also required. Homework is set every week for my students, which is marked and addressed during the following lesson. I am TESOL qualified and have experience supporting students from overseas. However, due to the nature of the school applications I support, prospective students should already have a reasonably high level of English. Enquiries from parents and students are welcome.
