Independent Schools

Celebrating 100% pass rate in 2025!

ISEB Pre-test Tuition

Personalised private tuition can significantly aid children applying to the diverse range of independent schools in the UK. It offers tailored instruction, focusing on specific entrance exam requirements and interview preparation. The right tutor will help strengthen academic skills, refine interview techniques, and boost confidence. This personalised support enhances students' chances of successful admission.  As a private school leader for many years, I have a experience of  working with many top independent schools and I was delighted that 100% of my private school tuition candidates received offers to their school of choice in the last year. 

​​

In the last year alone I have successfully supported learners with the ISEB Pretest, Quest Assessment and GL examinations along with independent school internal examinations.  My students to date have  a 100% pass rate in these exams.

Many independent schools produce and administer their own exam materials, whilst an increasing number are using the ISEB Pretest as part of their assessment process. When faced with independent school entry, an increasing number of schools are using the ISEB Pre-Test for entry at Year 7.

The ISEB Pretest is also used to provide some independent senior schools with information about a pupil’s current attainment and potential, prior to them taking Common Entrance for entry in Year 9.

Here are a few things to know about the ISEB Pre-Test

It's the only entrance exam that is adaptive. This means that the questions become more difficult depending on how your child is performing.

​

Used by many of the UK’s top independent schools, the ISEB is different to any other style of entrance exam, so there are unique strategies for succeeding at it which I will help your child unlock, having taught and led in a private school for many years with a proud 100% pass rate to private schools.

The all-important interview

Interviews are a crucial part of the private school admissions process. They provide an opportunity for schools to get to know prospective students and their families on a personal level, and for families to learn more about the school's and values. Through interviews, schools can ensure that they are admitting students who will thrive in their and social environments.
