Frequently Asked Questions

Every family is different, which is why our services are tailored to your individual needs. For some, this may simply involve a one-off consultation to discuss the available options and provide clear, impartial advice. For others, we offer comprehensive support packages that can include school research and recommendations, admissions guidance, application preparation, liaison with schools, interview preparation, relocation advice, ongoing educational planning and continued support throughout the admissions process. Whether you need a single consultation or end-to-end assistance, our aim is to provide the right level of support for your family's circumstances.

No. As an independent educational consultancy, we cannot guarantee admission or placement, as decisions are made by schools, universities or local authorities. Any organisation that guarantees a successful outcome should be approached with caution. What we do guarantee is honest, impartial advice and expert guidance, drawing on first-hand experience of the British education system to help every student maximise their chances of success.

Our team is English speaking. If we have a consultation and you require translation services, we can depending on timescale and language sometimes provide translator services to aid you in getting the most out of our meetings, although this may come at an extra cost which we will notify you of in advance. Alternatively you are welcome to provide your own translation companion for example a friend or a member of your family who can attend meetings for free.

We are not qualified lawyers and any guidance or advice given should be taken as just that. We do however work with and recommend legal experts depending on the area of expertise you require, which we are happy to help facilitate. But this is not something we would offer in house and would need to arranged separately.
