“Adam was highly sensitive to our children's individual needs and even thought strategically about the best way to 'pitch' the various options to them, understanding that their 'buy-in' was all-important. If you're looking for someone who understands the UK independent school system and what it takes to get into certain schools, but who also takes a holistic approach, taking into account the perspective of the child, then look no further…”
