Specialist Online Tutoring for Independent School Admissions
The independent school admissions process is a lot to get your head around, from the 11+ to specific entrance exams and interviews. You know the stakes are high, but it's hard to know how to best support your child.
Even when you can't help with the work itself, you can help them find the right person. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need. We then recommend a small, expert shortlist. No endless scrolling, just the right tutor.

More than just passing an exam — feeling prepared
A good tutor does more than drill past papers. They help your child make sense of tricky topics and build the confidence to tackle unfamiliar questions. The entrance exam starts to feel less like a hurdle and more like a chance to show what they know.
This isn't just about securing a place; it's about giving them the self-belief to start their next chapter feeling ready.
Find a tutor
You answer a few questions. We find the right person.
Our Tutor Finder asks what matters: the schools you're targeting, your child's current strengths, and how they learn best. We use this to build a personal shortlist of tutors we believe are the right fit for your child.
Every tutor we recommend is a subject expert who has passed a rigorous selection process—only one in eight applicants is accepted. They know how to explain things in a way that clicks.
If the first session isn't right, our guarantee means we'll find another tutor at no cost.

Iain M
Iain has helped to tutor my 10 year old for the last 3 months to help prepare him for a common entrance exam. My son had all the enthusiasm to engage in additional lessons that a typical 10 year old would have but Iain was quick to figure my son out and won him over so lessons never became a chore.
Iain identified the areas that needed improvement and boosted my son’s confidence. My son went from scoring 15/40 in weekly maths tests to 35/40.
We are yet to get the results of the exam but he helped my son’s confidence hugely and has helped to consolidate the skills he has been taught at primary school. Thankyou so much.
