“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…”

  • Adam is the consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable and bags of experience in the field, highly motivated and genuinely keen to find workable solutions for our daughter and family. His reports are very well written, case specific and very thoughtful / extremely helpful to us as a family with qualitative and quantitative observations.

  • Like many parents, we were a bit lost in terms of knowing which secondary schools (post 13) could be right for our son when we were considering a change. Adam has a charismatic personality and was able to work out what made our son tick through discussion and humour. He was able to talk through a large number of potential options (both day and boarding) and then gave recommendations which he helped us explore. We highly recommend him.

  • He presented us with detailed and thorough analysis of possible secondary schools/sixth form options for our son and daughter. In each case, 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!

  • His breadth of expertise and knowledge were very welcomed. He guided us through the process in a very well articulated manner. Our son was successful in his application and comments were made by the school as to how wellprepared and knowledgeable about the school he was.
