PREPARING FOR INTERVIEW AT A TOP INDEPENDENT SCHOOL

Let me help give your child confidence in preparation for upcoming 11+ interviews

The interview selection process can be daunting for both children and their parents. Schools want to determine whether your child is suitable for the school and whether they will be happy. Let me help your child succeed.

My aim is to help each child approach their school interview with confidence. I want to help them actually enjoy the experience and feel happy about the process. The interview is a chance for your child to share their passions, interests and personality. Together we can help your child shine!

I offer bespoke interview preparation sessions with Year 6 students sitting the independent school exams. The feedback from past students, and their parents, has shown that interview preparation can be helpful in getting children a place at their chosen school. As well as my bespoke one to one sessions I also run workshops for schools. If you’re a school, please do get in touch to discuss how I can help your Year 6 pupils go on to achieve success in their 11+ interviews.

Preparing and practice are essential because children want to feel confident going into their interview. I will explain how the interview process works, why they are being interviewed and how the children can lead and feel in control of the situation. I will go through the types of questions they might be asked and how the children might like to answer these questions. Knowing how to answer a question is a skill but at the same time it’s important that the answers come from the children, not me or the parents.

My job is to help children feel prepared, feel good about themselves and present with confidence. We discuss the importance of body language and how this is impacted with many interviews taking place online for 2020/21.

I am based in Hampstead, London and currently my interview preparation sessions are taking place virtually. I recommend an initial 75 minute consultation and the sessions are either 45 minutes or one hour. I recommend parents sit in on the sessions so that they can help in the run up to the interview.
