Mrs O Earls Court
"Thank you for introducing us to Mr George Marsh. We all enjoyed talking with him. My husband was particularly pleased to have gained an insight into the British exam system and instant feedback on the boys' performance. As for the interview today, the boys came out very much relaxed. Mr Marsh put them into a right frame of mind and certainly it helped.”

Mr C Hammersmith
"The consultation went very well. Without Sophie's help, we would not have been able to truly understand the school system and the right options for L. Given our circumstances, Ivy Education was able to tailor make the consultation, providing the service we needed at a discounted price. I would be happy to recommend Ivy Education to anyone."

Mrs M Putney

A full UK university application service
Our team of expert university admission consultants can support your family along every step of the admission process for UK universities.
For students needing advice on their UK university application, we begin by arranging an initial meeting with one of our University Application Consultants.
During the meeting, our consultant talks with your child about every aspect of their university application. They will then provide a personalised plan of action following the meeting, helping your child to choose both the right university and degree (and college where applicable).
Should your child need further support, our Full Universities Placement Service offers complete coverage of Years 12 and 13.
In Year 12 or earlier, our university consultants help your child create a timeline to manage their application, finalise their A-Level, IB or Pre-U subjects, begin the process of researching degrees to ensure a competitive application, review their work experience, and potentially recommend additional subject courses or open days.
For Year 13 students, our university admission consultants begin by finalising the selection of degrees and identifying any need to prepare for entrance tests such as the UCAT, LNAT, or Oxbridge-specific exams.
While liaising with your school tutors over subject references and communicating with universities regarding any extenuating circumstances, they advise your child on the writing and editing of the personal statement (including, if necessary, input from subject specialists). They help complete the UCAS application to the appropriate deadline and assist in interpreting offers and deciding on ‘Firm’ and ‘Insurance’ Choices. After exam results day, they can provide advice on UCAS Clearing and Adjustment if appropriate. Our university application consultants also offer interview practice and support your child in planning their gap year if needed.
Oxbridge Applications
If your child is preparing an Oxbridge application, our university consultants will begin by assessing their suitability and providing guidance on selecting degrees and colleges.
They will help your child prepare for any additional tests (including the UCAT, MAT, TSA, MLAT, CTMUA, or HAT) and arrange any necessary tuition. Finally, they will set up any interview practice your child needs to ensure they attend their interview with confidence.
