“James’ infectious enthusiasm and bonhomie immediately put the boys at ease. Boy after boy came away enthusing about how "fun" it was; the boys also noted how much they had learnt and how it had given them lots to think about ahead of the real thing. Mr Womersley gave a presentation to parents outlining key tips for a successful interview.”

I listened in - a real gentleman.”

“Thank you so much for giving Ben the boost he needed for todays school interviews with your practice session yesterday. He performed really well today. Many of the questions you talked through were on the agenda and he answered them confidently and thoughtfully.”

“Many thanks for your time this afternoon talking to Tom. He found the practice interview very helpful and he appreciated your warm approach. This practice will be beneficial to his preparation for the forthcoming scholarship interview.”
— Parent of potential academic scholar
Since we started out-sourcing some of our interview practice to James, I cannot begin to explain how much pressure this has relieved! Feedback from both parents and pupils has also been overwhelmingly positive.
He goes about the whole thing in an encouraging, patient and kind way, getting the most out of the pupils, putting them at their ease and giving them lots of opportunity to shine. James' practice interview sessions have really hit the spot, offering pupils an authentic experience before tackling the real thing!
