How to take the next step

You can request a consultation or apply for tutoring directly. Both routes reach the founder personally, and both start the same conversation.

Book a consultation time

Online consultation booking is not open yet. Until it is, the fastest way to arrange a consultation is the application form below — mention in the form that you would like a consultation, and a time is arranged with you by email.

One-on-one places depend on the founder's current teaching availability, which is confirmed during the consultation.

What the consultation covers

  • Your target sitting and preparation timeline
  • Your writing background and any previous attempts
  • What has and has not worked in your preparation
  • Whether one-on-one tutoring suits your situation
  • Possible lesson formats and what they would involve

What it deliberately is not

  • Not a tutoring lesson or a mini-lesson
  • Not a sales script with a countdown
  • Not a payment step — nothing is owed for enquiring
  • Not a commitment — either side can conclude it is not the right fit

After the consultation

What happens if you decide to go ahead.

If tutoring suits you and a place is available, the practical steps are deliberately simple and are confirmed in writing.

  1. Agree the arrangement

    Lesson format, number of sessions, inclusions and the total amount are agreed with you directly.

  2. Receive payment instructions

    Payment is by bank transfer. You receive the details and a payment reference; nothing is due before the arrangement is agreed.

  3. Receive portal access

    Once payment is confirmed, your student portal account is set up and you complete a short onboarding.

  4. Start the work

    Where requested, you upload a starting piece of writing, then book your first lesson.

Consultations and lessons are separate

This page is only for the initial consultation. Paid lesson booking happens later, inside the student portal, after an arrangement is agreed and payment is confirmed. Requesting a consultation never creates a lesson booking or a student account by itself.
