School Choice and Applications
Whether you are relocating to the UK or living here already we can help you with your school search to find the best UK boarding schools for international students. We can guide you through the UK school application process and provide information about which school would suit your child. Advice on how to pass private school entrance exams and interviews can be provided along with visits to the school or contact on your behalf.
Interviews are a key element to almost all UK selective schools. We can help your children increase their confidence in this area and provide essential advice and feedback including mock interviews.

For many parents moving to the UK, school admission is a top priority. Online tuition can be provided to work for you in your time zone. Experience of the UK education system, curriculum and teaching methods are invaluable and sought after worldwide. A first class learning experience can be provided to those at International Schools overseas or to those seeking entrance to UK boarding schools.
Experience with International GCSEs, UKiset (the UK independent schools' entry test) for students with English as a second language is also catered for. Preparation for Common Entrance with ISEB exams, CEM or GL assessments are also covered.
We teach English as Foreign Language to many students located all around the world.

We have been working with Julia Evans, Director of Cambridge Guardian Angels for over 5 years. Julia and her team have taken great care of many international students who we have worked with.
