Feedback on our UKiset tutors
"Lara is brilliant and works wonders! We cannot thank her enough for her work with our son. With Lara’s help, our son's English has improved considerably - his vocabulary is greatly expanded and Lara has taught him how to use this effectively to add detail and nuance in his writing. Lara has been indispensable as he successfully navigated the highly competitive school application processes to gain entrance into his first-choice schools. "
Mother of 11+ student"We can’t thank Philippa enough for how she helped my son. He was very lucky to have had her as a tutor. I’m glad the exams (13+ English entrance exam to Eton) went well, but even if they had not, it was clear he had learnt a lot and had come a long way. I am very appreciative of the care and attention you paid. Thank you."

During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and the school they are applying to.
After the first lesson, one of our dedicated client managers will contact you to find out how the lesson went. Our client managers are always available at the end of the phone and they are frequently praised for their efficiency, dedication and responsiveness.

FAQs
The UK Independent Schools’ Entry Test (UKiset) is an adaptive computerised assessment designed for overseas students aged between 9 and 18 years old.

Most schools use the UKiset to assess a student’s level of English and academic potential and is an efficient way to test a student's ability to thrive in an English-speaking school, before asking you to sit their own entry papers. Some schools however offer places based solely on UKiset results and school reports.
The tutors we represent are able to deliver in-person UKiset tuition within central London. For those outside of central London we offer online tutoring.
