"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 university system and helping our son with his personal statement. As for the interview today, our son 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 university 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.
