Specialised Summer Courses and Boarding School Placement
“I was looking for a residential summer course focussed on architecture for my 14 year old son. One of my friends recommended Magnus Education London. They understood exactly what we were looking for and advised the best possible course for my son. All the relevant communication and registration were handled by them free of charge. My son loved the course.
One year later we decided to send my son to a British Boarding school to study at Sixth form level. It was an important decision for us. Therefore I wanted to check what other companies were offering. I contacted a few of the most popular education consultancy firms this time including Magnus Education London to get the best possible service. After talking to all of them I decided to work with Magnus Education London again for my son’s boarding school placement. They work with the best industry experts and they have very close relations with schools. They assessed my son academically and came up with a detailed school list suitable for him. They talked us through those schools and helped us make a short list.
They handled all the registration and organised school visits. They helped my son prepare for the school exams and interviews by means of private tutoring at home and remotely using Skype. They were always one step ahead of us indicating potential problems and suggesting ways in which these could best be resolved. Their aim is to place the students in the most suitable schools rather than the easiest schools to get into.
My son was accepted at his favourite school. He is looking forward to starting there. Thank you Magnus Education London. I will continue working with you for my son’s university preparation as well. I am sure my son will benefit considerably from the mentor you have suggested.”

English Summer Course
“Magnus Education London has recommended a fantastic English family programme in London for my 7, 12 and 15 year old daughters and my wife. I am already in touch with them regarding our plans for next summer. My eldest daughter is planning to study in the UK for university. It is a great relief to know they help with university applications as well.”

School Advice and Placement for Highly Academic London Day Schools
“Magnus Education London not only provides the best possible service for locating schools but they also offer expertise in finding alternative solutions to problems. As an international family we were faced with certain difficulties but Magnus Education London helped us overcome them using insight and experience and with the help of their professional network. They held our hands at every step, providing highly experienced assessors, consultants and residential tutors as well as practice interview training. Without their help my son would not have been accepted at St. Paul’s School and we still call on them for ongoing support. Thank you Magnus Education London team.”

SEN Support
“My son has mild ADHD. He was not happy in his previous boarding school. Magnus Education London has SEN specialist consultants and they placed my son in the school best adapted to his needs. He is thriving there.”

Residential Tutor
“We live in Turkey as a family. We have aspirations to send our son to a British boarding school when he is 13. I know that entrance to popular boarding schools is highly competitive. They have tough exams and interviews. We needed academic support to prepare our son for the exams.”
“Magnus Education London provided a very experienced residential tutor who came to Istanbul and tutored my son in our home intensively for 5 hours a day for a month. He also prepared him for the interviews. The tutor was so well selected with his lively character that he fitted into our family dynamics and became a part of the family right away. My son has been working with the same residential tutor for two summers in a row. I highly recommend Magnus Education London.”

SEN Support
“My daughter is in the early stages at a prep school in London. The school suspected that she could have learning difficulties and referred us to some specialists. My daughter started getting academic support at the school and we began working regularly with the specialists. They were unable to identify the source of the problem.
Magnus Education London suggested we tried an educational psychologist who was part of their team. The psychologist came to our home and observed our daily routine as a family. She made some suggestions to incorporate into our daily lives. She also accompanied me to school meetings.
I highly recommend Magnus’s individualised approach as well as their experienced consultants and positive approach to resolving problems.”

School Placement
“We decided to move to London when my daughter was 12 years old. I learnt later that 12 is a difficult age to find a good London day school. With the help of Magnus Education London, my daughter was assessed academically and a suitable school list prepared and school visits and assessment dates arranged within a very short period of time. Meanwhile my daughter was already being prepared for assessments via Skype with the help of their recommended tutors.
We have been living in London for a year now. My daughter has had a very smooth transition period and loves her school and friends. What else could I ask for? Thank you Magnus Education London.”

Mentoring and Personal Statement Support
“My son is in the second year of his A-Levels. He studies at a British boarding school. Magnus Education London suggested a great mentor who provided guidance, motivation and emotional support with the help of role modelling. My son sometimes connects with him face to face and at other times through Skype. The mentor has also helped my son to find his own unique voice while he was writing his personal statement.“

Interview Practice – City of London School
“My son was on the waiting list for the City of London School when he received a call from the school at the last minute. Magnus arranged interview practice sessions with very highly qualified consultants without delay which helped my son a great deal both psychologically and academically. My son found it challenging to adapt to the new school environment and once again I sought help from Magnus who immediately provided assistance with mentoring.”

Preparation for Highly Academic London Day Schools
“My son was getting prepared for the 11+/13+ exams with the help of tutors. However, I felt he was not reaching his full potential with his current help and I called one of the managing directors of Magnus. She identified the problems immediately and arranged for tutors for him in English and Maths. After intensive tutoring during the summer and Christmas holidays, my son began achieving his best possible results. He was offered places in both Westminster and St Paul’s schools. I truly believe he would not have been so successful without the help of Magnus.”

Boarding School Placement
“After deciding to send my daughter to a boarding school in London, I contacted Magnus. They have a very systematic approach to school placement. After an initial assessment, we came together to work out an individualised Educational Plan as my daughter’s academic level was quite low and she had poor results in English.
Thanks to Magnus’s online and home tutoring scheme and their continuous monitoring of her academic level, they have successfully brought out my daughter’s full academic potential. She has now won a place at our top choice of boarding school and will start there in September 2019.”

University Interview Preparation
“My son was invited for an interview at Imperial College to apply for a degree in electrical and electronic engineering. As he was not expecting this interview at all he was totally unprepared.
I contacted Magnus after they were recommended to me by a friend and they managed to find the most suitable person to help him with practice interview sessions. My son was in much better state of mind after the sessions and won an offer for a degree.”
