The Private School Formula

With their extensive pastoral experience supporting students during their personal development at leading independent schools, our mentors tailor guidance to each student individually. Working alongside one of our mentors enables you as a family to benefit from expert insight and guidance at each stage of your child’s academic journey.

Building Academic Profiles

Mentors begin by understanding your child’s strengths, interests and motivations, as well as exploring where they can lead. We then expose them to broader possibilities to stretch their aspirations and start developing their longer-term goals. Ideally, this process will begin during their early teenage years.

Over time, mentors guide and encourage students in their personal development and passions to build stand-out personal and academic profiles aimed at achieving their goals. We align the mentor’s experience with your child’s goals, this is often attending a particular university or studying a specific course.
