mini Genius method:
Don’t Just Prepare For The 11+… Out-Think It!
Most tutoring adds more pressure. We remove it.
Using the 'Hidden Syllabus' of elite Prep Schools and the science of high-performance psychology,
I help your child go from anxious to achiever.
"Join 500+ families bridging the Excellence Gap."
The Insider Who Saw the System’s Limits
I’m Andrew. For 30 years, I served as a Headteacher and Deputy Head in some of London’s most competitive school environments—from Hampstead to Muswell Hill. I’ve been sat in the Head’s office and I’ve seen the truth:
State schools teach to the national average
Selective schools test for the EXCEPTIONAL
The standard classroom model is failing our most capable children. Class sizes are too large, and the 'roadmap' is too rigid.
I left school leadership to bridge the gap. I combined my NPQH (Headship) credentials with Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP to create a new way of learning.
We don't just teach the subjects; we teach the state of mind required to master them.

The 30-to-1 Trap
In a room of 30, your child is a number on a roadmap.
Despite the best intentions of teachers, the system is designed for the average.
If your child is struggling, anxious, or bored, it’s not because they aren't clever—it's because they've been given the wrong map.
Our 3 Pillars of Success
Pillar 1: Elite Academic Rigour
Continuous 11+ and 13+ preparation delivered with the standards of a top-tier Prep School. We master the content so the test becomes a formality.
Pillar 2: The Psychology of Peak Performance
Teaching using NLP and 'Confidence-Code' language patterns to erase test-day panic and school refusal. We focus on the learner, not just the lesson.
Pillar 3: Exposure to Real Testing
All our teaching content is modelled on real paper tests from a wide range of Grammar and Private Schools for continuous exposure. Most prep schools focus on computer-based testing which only prepares your child to pass the initial pre-test but not the final paper test and interview.
Proven Success for the UK’s Most Competitive Schools
We provide specific strategies and "Hidden Syllabus" insights for entry into:
Grammar Excellence: QE Boys, Henrietta Barnett, St. Olave’s, and the Kent Grammar network.
Private Success: Godolphin & Latymer, North London Collegiate, Westminster, and St. Paul's.
