OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE OFFERS FROM THE BEST
Ashley C., Oxford offer
“Tamara and the tutors from PrepWorks have helped me tremendously in my university application. Not only did they help me decide if I should apply to the UK or US as well as which course I should take, they have also guided me through personal statement feedback and interview preparation. Throughout this, I have learned a lot of new skills and gained confidence which contributed to my successful Oxford application.”
Clarissa L., Cambridge offer
“PrepWorks has been with me for every step of my university application journey, from providing invaluable feedback for my personal statement, to connecting me with tutors like LK and CJ who guided me through the notorious Oxbridge interview process, to facilitating discussions with people who gave me insight into my chosen course. I am extremely thankful for the support I have received from Tamara and her team, which I believe greatly strengthened my Cambridge application and led to its success. My Oxbridge application experience with PrepWorks has left me with not only an offer, but with skills that will continue to help me in my further studies.”
P.Chong, US University Applicant
“Miss Tamara has been incredibly helpful throughout my application process. She helped me to understand the differences between the UK and US education system, liberal arts colleges and universities, as well as analyse the pros and cons of the different education systems and schools. With that, I am able to make more informed decisions about the school(s) that I would like to apply to. Further, the counsellor that was assigned to me was very friendly and helped me to check and suggest better ideas or ways to improve my essays. I’m really glad and thankful that they were there to advise during the college application process.”
Elizabeth, Cambridge University
“My successful Oxbridge application can be largely attributed to the help and guidance given by PrepWorks. The personal statement feedback and ample interview preparation I received gave me the confidence that I needed to make a strong Oxbridge application. Tamara and her team of tutors were attentive, knowledgeable and strived towards one goal only: to get me into my dream university. I would highly recommend them to anyone who intends to make their application a successful one!”
Parent of student applying for Wycombe Abbey
“Louise was an inspired, intellectually mature teacher who turned her English lessons with my children into an opportunity to challenge and stretch their minds and experience language in a different way! She gave them skills to cope with any sort of text even if they’d never seen it before!”
B.C, 16+ entry Charterhouse, Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Rugby, Badminton offers
“We weren’t at all familiar with the UK School System and were rushing to apply to a Sixth Form Boarding School. PrepWorks has been a perfect guide to help select the most suitable schools in UK to apply to and to support our daughter to succeed in her admission tests. A big thanks to Tamara and her professional team”
B.C, student at Alice Smith School
“Having never been in an interview, the tutoring gave me an insight on what to expect and increased my confidence”
B.C, student at Alice Smith School
“Shaun explained more difficult areas [of Maths] in a very understandable way”
Z.L., Dulwich College, Singapore
“Tamara was very helpful in her interview tips for Z. He remembered them whilst being interviewed at Harrow and it was very handy and useful!”
Z.L., Dulwich College, Singapore
“Aisha was very engaging and a big help to Z’s English proficiency.”

7 Easy Ways to Encourage our Kids to Read & Write
Explore our Writing Workshop for 11-13 year olds coming up this Easter if you would like to pull the handbrake on technology and allow your child to discover the wonder in this contagious art form that classrooms might be making too technical and sterile. As for reading, start with a Kindle. Quoting Margaret Atwood who wrote The Handmaid’s Tale : “In the end, we’ll all become stories” so learn to create and write yours the best you can.
Low Self-Esteem
People with low self-esteem tend to not be very kind to themselves, judge their own actions negatively, and take on less challenges in life due to a belief that they will inevitably not succeed. Building self-esteem is a process, and it can take time to shift beliefs. Find out how.

It has come into our awareness that the majority of [...]

GRIT: A Key Skill for our Future Generation?
As a teacher for over a decade, my question has always been ‘What sets one student apart from another?’ Is it nature or nurture? Usually, by the end of the first class, I have a feeling who will do well and who would need extra help. What did the kids who I knew would do well have in them? What were the qualities I was unconsciously looking out for?
