My expertise is helping students get places at the best schools and universities for them, in London and around the UK. I’ve been advising families and students on this since 2006.

I have been part of the university admissions programme at top schools, helping students with their applications to dozens of universities including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial and UCL. I went to Oxford myself, to study Modern History. However, I am aware that these big brands are not always the right fit: my priority is to provide tailored, sensitive advice which takes into account the circumstances and experiences of the student I am talking to.

I can support with university and course choices, Personal Statements, preparation for Admissions Tests and Interviews. Some universities give you the option to choose a college – mainly Cambridge, Oxford and Durham – and I can advise on this, too, considering carefully what environment and culture would work for the individual.

My approach is focused and structured, but I hope that it’s also human. My aim is to make the admissions process positive, constructive and exciting, even though it can be a source of anxiety for many students. I keep myself informed on the big trends within university recruitment and can also advise on Clearing and UCAS Extra.

Having over 15 years experience advising families, I am well-versed in the requirements of top universities in London and beyond. I work closely with the student but will happily involve parents or other family members in the discussion if desired.
