I specialise in UKiset preparation for students coming from international schools. I focus on the maths and non-verbal reasoning sections, using past-style questions and timed drills to get pupils used to the pressure of the test. I also support parents with realistic school targeting, drawing on my experience teaching in a British curriculum school in Dubai, particularly at Years 5 to 8.

I’m a primary teacher currently living in Hong Kong and I tutor UKiset online after school. Most of my students are 9–12 year olds aiming for boarding schools in the UK. We spend a lot of time on reading comprehension and written English, working with articles, short stories and past essays so they get used to thinking and writing in clear, natural English for the test, not just classwork, often under timed conditions.

As a former Head of Year at an independent prep school near Oxford, I have prepared many pupils for UKiset and subsequent interviews. I break the test into manageable strands: vocabulary, quantitative reasoning and non-verbal pattern work. Lessons are structured but friendly, with regular feedback so families can see exactly how scores are moving across each area of the assessment and over time, week by week.

Having taught English as an Additional Language for over a decade, I now focus on UKiset preparation for overseas applicants. My lessons target the specific language demands of the test, from cloze exercises to extended writing. I use detailed error analysis after each practice paper so students understand not just what the right answer is, but why their first choice was off and how to improve next time.

I’m a maths and reasoning nerd based in Leeds and I really enjoy working with UKiset candidates who like a challenge. In sessions we pick apart tricky number puzzles, talk through shortcuts, and then try a short timed section to see which strategies actually stick. Most of my students also send me school lists, so I keep an eye on what different schools tend to look for at entry across the age range.

Currently teaching in a bilingual school in Shanghai, I support students who are moving from local curricula into UK independent schools via UKiset. I place a strong emphasis on building academic English while not neglecting the quantitative and non-verbal elements. Families receive concise written reports after each block of lessons, outlining progress, recommended homework and clear next steps for study.
