Simon helped our family choose a boarding school for our son. His in-depth knowledge of British education was extremely helpful for us to understand the specifics of the system and to decide which school would align best with our son’s personality, academic interests and ambitions. Simon provided very valuable advice for our son’s personal statement and helped consolidate his preparations for the school’s interview. As the result, our son was successfully admitted to a top boarding school in the UK.
Family from Hong Kong .
Shun and Xi Wang are identical twins from Hangzhou in China. Although their English was quite weak when we first met them (both were in Year 9), they were very determined to receive an education in the UK.
We developed a two fold strategy to meet their needs by initially finding separate schools for them where their English would be allowed to gain a firmer grounding before introducing them to schools for them to study their A levels. They both partook in our mentoring programme.
Both boys are now thriving – Shun at St Edwards, Oxford and Xi at Radley College and both are keen to complete degree courses at a U.K. university before returning to develop their business interests in China.
Jessica approached us in January 2021 with the aim of applying at 16+ to some of the most selective Sixth Forms in London.
Our mentoring programme coached her as she prepared for the entrance assessments, which involved subject papers, reasoning and critical thinking, the writing of personal statements and plenty of interview practice.
A bright and motivated student who responded enthusiastically to the challenge, we were delighted when she was offered places at CLSG, Latymer, KCS and Westminster. All the hard work paid off!
Jacqui and Simon make a remarkable team. Jacqui’s coaching and mentoring for our daughter through the sixth form entry process was well rounded, organised and balanced. Her mindful approach to the entire process was simply impeccable.
Simon is a brilliant English teacher who reignited the love for the language and reading for our daughter. She has made tremendous improvement due to Simon’s commitment, philosophy, teaching methods and approach to reading comprehensions and writing. Simon’s calm demeanour and careful analysis of the right areas of growth provided the perfect balance during this stressful time.
We are extremely grateful and would highly recommend the team to any child who is seeking more in their academic journey and success.
