‘What shall I do when I leave school?’ is just one of several important questions students make during their final three years at school. But it is one that they shouldn’t feel daunted by as this is an exciting time and, typically, the final step in their formal education. The most salient point to remember is that there is a spider’s web of people from whom they can seek advice: teachers, parents, friends and even current university students.

The tutors we work with have experience working abroad, or with students where English isn't there first language, and therefore are knowledgeable of EFL teaching strategies.
