How it works

Journey timeline

Step 1

Find the perfect mentor

You’ll be matched with a mentor with vast experience of the test and the interview. Our mentors span a huge range of backgrounds from working at the Civil Service and Netflix, to the world of journalism and the West End.

Step 2

Advisory meeting

You’ll have the option to book an advisory meeting with one of our client managers to align on anything you might be unclear about.  

Step 3

Start the Eton Handbook

Prospective students will start work through our Eton Handbook; content is delivered online and is interactive.  

Step 4

Monitor progress and next steps

You will receive progress reports following each of the sessions. This ensures you have oversight over the process.  

Step 5

Manage results

For those accepted, we help advise on house choices; for those waitlisted, we continue our support through their application into Year 7.

89% of Oppidan students are offered a place at Eton.

We support over 40+ students each year with Eton applications.

Parents rate us 9.3/10 for academic support.
