Our Approach
A Winterwood tutor will always have a clear idea of their objective, and they will always be working under the close supervision of the agency, benefiting from the expertise of our longstanding tutors and founders, Tom Parkinson and Jade Everingham. We go to great lengths to ensure tuition is fit to purpose, and make sure that all clients benefit from an initial introductory assessment which sets out exactly what a student will need before the process begins.
Drawing on our bespoke resources and carefully tailored tuition process, we have guided hundreds of entrance exam students to their target schools. Every year, Winterwood students are offered places at competitive independent schools, such as St Paul’s, Westminster, City of London, Haberdashers’, Highgate, UCS, Latymer, Dulwich College, Merchant Taylor’s and Mill Hill, along with St Paul’s Girls, City of London Girls, North London Collegiate, South Hampstead, Godolphin & Latymer, Francis Holland and more. Outside London, we help students gain entrance to schools such as Eton, Harrow, Wellington, Marlborough, Cheltenham Ladies’, Wycombe Abbey, Charterhouse, Bradfield, Millfield and many more. Testimonials, references and success stories are available on the website, or upon request.
Entrance Exams
The majority of the tuition carried out by tutors working for Winterwood involves preparation for entrance exams. Our experienced tutors have prepared hundreds of students for entrance exams at independent schools in London and boarding schools around the country.
Our method involves carefully matching a tutor to a student, ideally at an early stage so they have plenty of time to prepare. The tutor and student then work together intensively, covering all aspects of the admission process. We prefer to offer separate tutors for English/Verbal Reasoning and Maths/Non-Verbal, as we have found this to add value to the process.
Each student sitting entrance exams will also be closely managed by our administrative team and directors. They will be regularly appraised of progress, provided with reports and feedback, and re-assessed well in advance of entrance exams. We much prefer teams of Winterwood Tutors to provide all tuition, as we cannot vouch for, nor manage, tutors provided by other agencies or working in a private capacity.
