We can also help with Academic Assessments, Weekend Schools in Dulwich, or Hampstead and specialist tutors who are authorities in their 11 Plus subjects, or have a track record of success at particular schools.
We also offer 11+ practice interviews, group interviews and mock exams.
Academic Assessments

Our Tutors
We are incredibly picky about who we represent and to work with us, tutors must pass the most stringent tests. In addition to their teaching qualifications, we also check degree certificates and take up two teaching references. All our tutors have an Enhanced DBC Background check. We also meet all our prospective tutors in person and look for bright, interesting personalities, warm and friendly people, who engage with their students and make learning enjoyable and accessible.
Varsity Scholars
We also own Varsity Scholars, the UK’s pre-eminent Oxford and Cambridge Applications consultancy. Varsity Scholars works with private clients and also some of the most prestigious schools in the UK, such as Eton College, North London Collegiate School, Haileybury, St Albans High School for Girls, Wellington College and Putney High School, giving advice and support around preparation for admission tests, personal statements and interview preparation for elite global institutions.
