What is School Admissions Support?
School admissions support is a service designed to guide families through the often complex process of selecting the right school for their child and ensuring they are well-prepared for entrance exams.

Entrance Exam Success
We provide carefully matched and well-trained tutors to deliver high quality entrance exam tutoring when it is necessary, and we provide ongoing advice and support to our tutoring students and their families throughout their journey as part of that service.
School applications decisions need to start with an academic assessment, to test your child’s ability against the rest of their cohort nationally and establish their academic potential. The results of this process are invaluable in establishing which schools would be the best fit for your child and be realistic schools to aim for, as well as identifying whether they would benefit from tutoring as well as mock exam practice and interview preparation where applicable.
We also have an excellent track record of helping students from across the UK and around the world to successfully apply for prestigious British schools, through offering our advice and interview practice via Skype and providing individual tutoring for entrance exams at any level using our online tutoring platform.

A school entrance success story, in a parent’s own words:
After a great first experience with our elder son, who secured multiple secondary school offers and ended up taking a place at City of London, we approached Dukes Tutoring to help our younger son through the same process.
Despite increasing competition year on year for places at good schools and working with a very different child with different needs and skills, Dukes Tutoring worked their magic once again. They helped us to identify the right schools to apply for, and how best to prepare for the entrance exams
Their professionalism and expertise are clear, being able to identify and offer our son the targeted support and guidance that he needed to perform strongly enough in six exams, to open up six interview opportunities. Ultimately, he was offered the choice of four school places (two with academic scholarships) and we are all delighted with his decision to study at Highgate School.
We know we could not have had the same experience and outcome without the input from the Dukes Tutoring team. I would recommend them without hesitation to any parent who wants the right advice and support for their child to guide them through the stressful and pressurised secondary school selection process.
