They can help your child to build their confidence and articulate their ideas clearly to make sure they perform well during the interview. With flexible online tuition, all of this is available to your child without adding to your family's schedule or stress.

Building Confidence for Highgate and Beyond
Preparing for the Highgate School admissions process helps your child to develop foundational skills for their future. The critical thinking, problem-solving, and confident communication required are the same skills your child will need to achieve high grades in their GCSEs and A-Levels, and eventually prepare successful applications to top universities. A tutor can help them refine their interview technique and strengthen their written assessments, making sure they feel confident and prepared to demonstrate their abilities in the admissions process and succeed in whatever comes next.

Finding a Tutor for Your Child's Highgate Application
We understand that success in the Highgate interview is about more than getting answers right on a test; it's about showing that your child is the right fit for the school. We'll help you find a tutor who has experience with selective school admissions and knows how to connect with your child, creating a supportive environment where they feel comfortable practising interview questions and exploring their interests.
In a busy classroom, personalised feedback on interview technique or creative writing is difficult to achieve. Our one-to-one lessons focus entirely on your child's specific needs, whether that's structuring a compelling story, tackling advanced non-verbal reasoning problems, or simply learning to relax and be themselves in a formal setting.
All our tuition is online, fitting around your family's schedule. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, saving you time and ensuring they're relaxed and ready for their session.

Joseph R
Joe has an incredible gift for teaching. He is highly knowledgeable, articulate, passionate, charismatic and supportive. We were so lucky to find him when our daughter decided to apply to a couple of highly selective London schools in 2021 (we had less than 6 months left before the 11+ exams and could not believe it was possible to cover so much material in so little time). Our daughter performs best in a structured and encouraging learning environment and this is exactly what Joe ensured throughout the whole process, first by identifying gaps in her knowledge and then giving clear instructions on how to address them. As our daughter put it: "Every lesson was an adventure where I learned so much not only about Maths, English and non-verbal reasoning, but also about myself and what I can do". Feedback was provided after each lesson, with homework always checked and discussed in detail. We received an offer from the school of our first choice and will go on accepting. Huge thanks to Joe!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Do your tutors have experience with the Highgate School 11+ or 13+ admissions process?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in selective school admissions processes, and have experience with the format of the Highgate assessments, including the written papers and the interview stage; you can see all of our tutors' experience on their page.
What if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key. That's why we offer our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the tutor isn't the perfect fit after the first session, simply email support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost.
Can the tutor help with other subjects besides entrance exam prep?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors cover a wide range of subjects, so if your child also needs support with their core Maths or English skills for school, your tutor can often incorporate this into their sessions.
How do tutors prepare a child for the interview stage?
Tutors focus on building confidence and communication skills by conducting mock interviews to help them articulate their hobbies and interests, and practise discussing topics from a supplied text or image, mirroring the format used by Highgate.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to discuss your child's needs, and you can book your first online session for a time that suits you, often within 24 to 48 hours.
How much do Highgate admissions tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, which allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
How many sessions will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's individual needs. Some parents book a short series of sessions focused purely on interview technique, while others prefer regular weekly lessons in the months leading up to the exams.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, every tutor on Tutorful is thoroughly vetted. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring they have the right academic background and teaching skills, and carry out background checks for your peace of mind.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything you need: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a dynamic and engaging learning environment that allows tutors to tailor sessions just like they would in person.
How can I track my child's progress?
You'll have a direct line of communication with your tutor. They will provide regular feedback after each session, highlighting areas of improvement and discussing the plan for future lessons, so you always know how your child is getting on.
Why choose Tutorful over a local tutoring agency?
Tutorful gives you access to the best specialist tutors across the UK, not just those in your local area. With our secure platform, flexible scheduling, and First Lesson Guarantee, you get expert support with complete convenience and peace of mind.
