Placement, Assessment & Tuition all in one place.

Practical, discreet education consultancy for families navigating UK and UAE pathways — from school placement to selective entry preparation and structured tuition.

What we do

Choosing a school is rarely just about academics. It’s about ethos, values, family fit, timing, logistics, and the long-term pathway — and it’s easy to lose weeks to conflicting opinions and marketing.
Alongside navigating tricky admission processes in both the UK & the UAE, our work brings calm structure to high-stakes decisions, with a clear process and personalised support.


School Placement (UAE + UK pathways)

A structured placement process — shortlist to decision.

What it’s for:
Families relocating between the UK and UAE, moving within Dubai, or changing schools due to fit, transition, or pathway needs.

How it works:

  • Intake and goals (child profile, timeline, budget, logistics)
  • Shortlist and strategy (schools that match your criteria)
  • Admissions support (applications, communication, sequencing)
  • Tour planning and comparison (what to ask, what to ignore)
  • Decision support and transition planning (settling and continuity)

Includes:

  • Shortlist framework and written recommendations
  • Admissions timeline and action plan
  • Ongoing guidance through the decision period
  • Coordination support where required (scope dependent)

Best for:
UK → Dubai relocations • Dubai school changes • families wanting discreet, high-trust guidance
