Questions families ask
When should we start?
Ideally at 15 or 16, at least 12 to 18 months before applications open. For Oxford, Cambridge and medicine, earlier is better: subject choices, reading and admissions-test preparation all take time. We also work with families who come to us later.
Can you guarantee a place?
No one can. Universities make their own admission decisions. What we guarantee is our personal attention and a clear, well-prepared strategy, so your child applies as strongly as possible. That strategy is backed by our own experience: we went through admissions ourselves as international students, won places at top universities and were both awarded prestigious, fully funded doctoral scholarships.
Do you work with families outside the UK and Europe?
Yes, and that is exactly who we are here for. We specialise in families who live outside Britain and Europe, from the Gulf and the wider Middle East to Asia, Africa and the Americas, whose children want to study at the UK's and Europe's best universities. We guide you through an admissions system that may be new to you, and help your child settle confidently into life in a new country. We work online across time zones, and meet in person by arrangement.
Which universities do you cover?
We focus on the most prestigious universities in Britain and Europe, from Oxford and Cambridge to the leading institutions of London, Edinburgh, Paris, Milan and Zurich. Most families choose degrees taught in English. For students who speak French or another European language, we also advise on degrees taught in that language, which can open even more doors. Above all, we help your child aim for the university that is both outstanding and right for them.
How are your fees set?
After the complimentary introductory call, we send a personal written proposal with the recommended service, timeline and fee. Every engagement is tailored to the student.
Do you work with the student or the parents?
Both. We work closely with the student, who does the work and owns the application, and keep parents informed at every stage.
