Sally
Schools ConsultantChildren come in all shapes and sizes and a one size fits all approach to tuition and future schooling is not the answer. We consultants mentally measure up a child’s needs and a parent’s expectation and aim to produce a bespoke, tailor-made, “right fit” outcome
Brodie
Schools ConsultantBrodie’s philosophy is very much about supporting your child to achieve their full, individual potential and gain entry to the right school for them. As such, he believes it is critical to meet you and your child either face to face or via video link to really understand your child’s personality, their interests, what they love about school and to then match this up with a realistic selection of senior schools that will suit your child. Brodie will then offer the best possible advice and guidance on school selection, application processes and entry examinations.

She has been advising families on university entrance since 2006, and before that worked for the Access Scheme whilst an undergraduate at Oxford University. Camilla works closely with potential undergraduates and their parents to ensure they reach some of the UK’s most prestigious universities.
An established kid on the block these days and one that really impressed us with its quality and integrity. ‘The staff are professional, courteous and helpful, and the tutor they sent was good fun, patient and thorough. My son learnt a lot,’ said a typically satisfied parent, ‘and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ivy Education.
