What makes Shelley truly exceptional is that she never treats families as just another case. She invests an extraordinary amount of time and energy into every student, thinking carefully about the best possible pathway for their future. Her patience, honesty, dedication, and remarkable ability to communicate with both families and schools make her one of the finest educational consultants we have ever met.

Ms C ZShanghai, China

Over the past two years, you have helped us so much in so many different ways, and we are truly, truly grateful for everything you have done. It’s hard to express how much your support has meant to us.

Mr C & Mrs YHangzhou, China

Shelley helped our family from choosing the right schools to guiding us through detailed preparation. Our daughter is now at Wycombe Abbey School and our son will start year 9 at Eton College this Autumn. They would not be able to make it this far without Shelley’s help and support. We are very impressed at how she carefully attended in every little detail throughout the admission process.

Mr P & Mrs SThailand

Reference letter from Eton College

During my time as Admissions Director, I have very much enjoyed working with Shelley. I have valued the experience that she has developed through working in the prep school world for the best part of twenty years. She has always shown the greatest integrity, putting the interests of the child front and centre at what is a key point in their development. Shelley is also most generous and accessible in her dealings with people, and I am sure that anxious parents always feel themselves to be in a safe pair of hands.
