Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups do you provide education consultancy for?+
We support students at every stage of their UK education journey, from early-stage private schools and foundation level (pre-GCSE level students) right up to postgraduate and PhD level. Whether your child is starting secondary school or applying for a Master's degree, we can guide you through the process.
How do you help with UK university applications?+
We provide end-to-end support with university applications, including course selection, personal statement guidance, UCAS submissions, and interview preparation. We tailor our advice to each student's academic profile and career goals to help them secure a place at the right institution.
Can you help if my child is already studying in the UK?+
Absolutely. Many of our clients are students already based in the UK who need guidance on transferring programmes, progressing to postgraduate study, looking for a job, or simply making the most of their current course. We are here to help at any point in your journey.
Do you specialise in any particular subjects or universities?+
We have a team of 9 experienced tutors, each specialising in different fields, with broad connections across leading UK universities and industries. Between them, they cover all major subject areas including finance, marketing, engineering, and computer science. Our consultants stay up to date with entry requirements, course changes, and admissions trends, so we can offer informed, current advice regardless of your chosen field of study.
What does career coaching include?+
Our career coaching covers career planning during your studies, CV writing, interview preparation, intern/apprentice application and networking guidance. We help you build a clear path from education to employment, whether you are looking for part-time work, internships, or your first full-time role after graduating.
Do you offer guaranteed internship placements?+
Yes. Our career coaching package includes guaranteed internship and part-time job support. We work with you to identify suitable opportunities and prepare you thoroughly so you can secure a placement that aligns with your career goals.
Can you help with job applications after graduation?+
We certainly can. Our coaching covers the full job search process — from crafting a strong CV and writing compelling cover letters to practising interview techniques and building your professional network. We support you until you land the right role.
Is career coaching available to students at any level?+
Yes, our career coaching is available to students at all stages, from undergraduates exploring their options to PhD candidates transitioning into industry. The earlier you start planning, the better positioned you will be when opportunities arise.
What do your guardianship services include?+
Our guardianship services cover day-to-day support for international students living in the UK. This includes help with English forms and paperwork, guidance on practical matters like banking and healthcare, and general advice to help you settle in safely and comfortably.
Who needs a guardian in the UK?+
UK boarding schools typically require all international students under 18 to have a UK-based guardian. Even for older students, having a trusted local contact can make a real difference — especially when navigating unfamiliar systems or dealing with unexpected situations.
How quickly can you respond if my child needs help?+
We pride ourselves on fast response times. If your child contacts us with an urgent matter, we aim to respond within hours, not days. For routine queries, you can expect to hear back within 24 hours. Your child's safety and wellbeing are always our priority.
Can you help with everyday life in the UK beyond school?+
Yes, that is exactly what our guardianship service is designed for. From understanding NHS registration to opening a bank account, tipping etiquette to public transport — we help students navigate the practical side of life in the UK so they can focus on their studies.
What kind of study support do you offer?+
We provide academic support up to PhD level, including assignment preparation, exam revision strategies, and guidance on academic writing standards. Our aim is to help you perform at your best and meet the expectations of UK higher education.
Can you help with specific assignments or coursework?+
We offer preparation support and guidance on how to approach assignments, structure your arguments, and meet marking criteria. We help you develop the skills to produce strong work independently, rather than doing the work for you.
Do you support students preparing for UK exams?+
Yes. We help students understand exam formats, develop effective revision plans, and practise past papers. Whether you are preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, or university-level examinations, we tailor our support to the specific requirements of your course.
Is study support available for all subjects?+
We cover a wide range of subjects and can provide general academic guidance across most disciplines. For highly specialised topics, we will be upfront about what we can offer and connect you with the right resources if needed.
