Course · Boarding school entry

Interview preparation,
one to one.

This course is for Singapore students with interviews at boarding schools, in the UK or other countries. A tutor practises the conversations schools hold — about interests, reading, school life and reasoning aloud — one to one and online, without scripting answers.

Who it is for.

  • Students with interviews at boarding schools in the UK or other countries, at 11+, 13+ or 16+ entry
  • Students who speak English well but are new to talking about themselves and their thinking with an unfamiliar adult

01 / What we practise

Being yourself, clearly.

  • Talking about interests, reading and activities in depth
  • Thinking aloud through an unfamiliar question or problem
  • Discussing a short text, image or object, if the school uses one
  • Online interview manners: camera, sound and pauses

02 / How it works

Practice, then feedback.

  1. First conversationA practice interview shows how your child speaks under gentle pressure.
  2. Practice sessionsDifferent interviewers and question types, with written feedback for parents.
  3. Before each interviewA session focused on that school's format, where it is known.

When to start.

It can help to begin a few weeks to a few months before the first interview, alongside test preparation. Schools set their own interview dates; your coordinator plans back from them. We do not promise a result.

Who teaches.

Interview practice is taught by tutors whose background, subjects, tests taught and qualifications checked by ELT are shown on each profile.

03 / Questions

About interviews.

Will you give my child answers to memorise?

No. Schools look for genuine thinking. We help your child speak clearly about what they really think.

Are interviews in person or online?

It depends on the school. We practise both formats.

Do you guarantee a place?

No. Schools decide admissions.
