How I can help
I offer pragmatic and purposeful guidance to parents to help them support their children through secondary school.
My 1:1 consultation sessions equip parents with the understanding and tools they need to help their children thrive and succeed.
Please note, however, that although I am happy to advise on the differences between education at school and at university, I do not offer private tuition or support for the application process itself.
I am based in central Cambridge and I offer in-person or online consultations.
Prices: A block booking for 4 hours costs £520; this time can be subdivided in a way which suits your context. Alternatively, a single consultation costs £165.
I offer a reduced-fee option in certain circumstances; please contact me to discuss.
