UK Schools Consulting
A Cambridge Chinese Studies graduate fluent in Mandarin and Spanish, Vivienne specialises in placing international families, particularly from Asia, in the UK schools best suited to their children.
Vivienne graduated from the University of Cambridge in Chinese Studies, winning the Modern Chinese Prize and the Michael Lowe Prize. She attended Yew Chung International School in Shanghai and Rye St Antony in Oxford, and speaks Mandarin, Spanish and English.
Vivienne led a UK schools consulting practice with a focus on families from Hong Kong, China and the wider Asia region. She has helped students win places at schools including Wycombe Abbey, Eton College, North London Collegiate and Tonbridge, from nursery through 11+, 13+ and sixth form, and advises on A-level and IB choices and UK university applications, including Oxbridge Chinese Studies. She accompanies families to school visits and parents’ evenings, translating and explaining the quirks of British schools, and has managed holistic education programmes for clients, coordinating tutors towards shared goals. Trained in supporting students with varied educational and emotional needs, she also helps families with ADHD and behavioural needs liaise with schools and specialists.
Vivienne takes a hands-on approach. She understands how competitive UK school entry is and has helped many families secure their first-choice school. Adaptable, practical and an excellent communicator, she is also an experienced mentor who stretches students of all ages.
