Having taken the time to get to know both myself and my son I felt Isobel had a great understanding of his personality, interests and lifestyle leaving her well equipped to find him the right school.

Isobel clearly has a thorough understanding and strong contact network with primary schools in South West London. I would happily recommend IW Schooling Consultants and was impressed by the service I received.

She has been a great support to both my girls from nursery right through to senior school encouraging them and helping them along the way.Isobel has a very special ability to identify and connect with all children and to understand what is unique about each child.

She expects the best from every one of them and provides tremendous support and encouragement to help each child achieve his or her potential. Isobel also has a breadth of insight into the British school system and familiarity with the different cultures and styles of many schools. Coupled with her ability to understand each child, Isobel is ideally placed to provide your family with advice and insight into navigating the many challenges of finding the right educational opportunities for your children.

We have had the great pleasure of knowing Isobel as teacher at our daughter’s primary school, as private tutor to our daughter and now as senior school educational consultant. In each of these capacities, Isobel has been able to provide experienced and thoughtful support both to our daughter and to us as a family.

As tutor, Isobel has gone well beyond helping our child consolidate key areas of learning. She has also worked to build her self-confidence in all academic areas. Following just one term of regular tutoring, we could see our daughter’s approach to her school life become increasingly enthusiastic, and her academic results soared. We look forward to continuing with Isobel, whose encouragement and teaching talent have been of such benefit to our child.

As educational consultant, Isobel has brought the very same thoughtful insight to helping us navigate the complex route to senior school. Isobel’s deep understanding of our child’s personality and learning style as well as her understanding of us as a family has kept us focused on finding a school that will be the right fit for our child, a place where we know she will thrive.

From the outset Isobel hit the mark. Utterly unflappable, systematic, well paced and yet flexible and warm. Isobel has a deft hand with both the reluctant student and the anxious parent. She knows how and when to make class fun. And she isn’t afraid to highlight disappointing work when her pupils fail to try their best. She was always transparent and a strong communicator.

As a working parent I found Isobel a godsend. She went above and beyond to work around our commitments and enable tutoring when I wasn’t available. I always felt we were getting value for money, with someone who’s priority was equipping our son for success, rather than earning a salary. Isobel’s style is relaxed, nurturing and effective. She quickly deciphers her pupils and taps into what makes them tick, whilst building skills and confidence, particularly where a child is weakest.

Over the course of the early weeks Isobel recommended several schools that she thought would appeal to our son and our values. She hit the nail on the head with one of her recommendations becoming our first choice. With Isobel’s support and dedication our son achieved his goal and had the luxury of turning down a number of other offers. We will definitely bring repeat business with our second child when his turn comes.
