International Student Support with Dukes Tutoring
At Dukes Tutoring, we provide expert international student support for families moving to the UK or following the British education system from overseas. With in-depth knowledge of the UK independent school system, we can support with school choice, applications, and academic tutoring.
Our services include school placement guidance, specialist preparation for the entrance assessments used by independent schools as part of their admissions process, and ongoing tutoring for the British curriculum, including GCSEs and A Levels. Families can choose a combined placement and tuition package or access each service separately.

-
School Admissions Support
Dukes Tutoring has a long and proven, highly successful track record of assisting children coming into the British school system from overseas and helping them gain a place at the right school for them. We have extensive knowledge of the independent boarding and day schools in London and across the UK that are likely to be of interest to families moving from overseas.
Our school admissions consultants support international students by shortlisting the best-fit schools for them and guiding you through every step of the application.
-
Entrance Exam Tutoring
Many UK independent schools set entrance exams as part of their admissions process.
We have a very successful track record in tutoring students for these assessments. Ever year, our 7 Plus, 11 Plus, and 13 Plus tutoring helps international students secure places at their independent schools of choice.
We also offer expert preparation for 4 Plus, UKiset, ISEB, and 16 Plus exams, as well as tutoring for occasional places in other year groups.

British Curriculum Tutoring
If you are following the British curriculum overseas, we offer the highest standards of online tutoring for international students.
From GCSE to A Level tutoring, we cover all major subjects and exam boards, with hand-picked, highly experienced tutors, personally matched to your child.
FAQs
We offer several services as part of our international student support:
– School admissions consultancy – helping families select and apply to the best-fit British schools for their child’s interests, personality, strengths, and ambitions
– Entrance exam tuition – expert preparation for the tests set by selective British schools as part of their admissions processes
– UK curriculum tutoring – 1-1 tuition for GCSEs, A Levels, and more
Families can choose to take both of these services or just one, depending on their needs. We are happy to discuss your situation and propose a bespoke programme of support in a free initial consultation.
If you are new to the UK system and need some extra support to catch up with the curriculum, we can also arrange one-to-one tuition for whichever subjects and exams are required.
