Our Method
How We Prepare Students
Diagnostic Assessment
We begin with an initial assessment to identify strengths, gaps, and priority areas — tailored to Brighton's specific entrance requirements.
Weekly Structured Learning Plan
Each student receives a personalised plan aligned with Brighton's entrance requirements. Tutors create bespoke lesson content and targeted homework.
Targeted Exam Practice & Mocks
Students work through hand-crafted exam papers with unlimited online practice tests that replicate the real assessment format, tracking performance throughout.
Interview & Confidence Coaching
Beyond academic preparation, we prepare students for interviews and assessments, building confidence, clarity of expression, and readiness for assessment day.
Many families use online platforms for extra practice. These work best when paired with expert tutoring. Our role is to identify the root cause of mistakes, teach the underlying method, provide written feedback, and guide parents through the entrance process.
“Our son's preparation was thorough and school-specific. His tutor knew Brighton's entrance process in detail and made sure he was ready for both the papers and the Orientation Day.”

Why us
Our background at Brighton College
Brighton College has grown significantly in academic reputation and is one of the fastest-rising independent schools in the country. Our tutors understand what both entry points require — and how to prepare for the distinctive Orientation Day format at 13+.
13+ is Brighton's primary entry route. The ISEB pre-test opens the door; the Orientation Day determines the offer. We prepare students for both stages — academic performance and the ability to engage confidently in group and interview settings.
