Helping children grow, thrive, and succeed in entrance exams and school.
At Serpentine Education, we know that preparing for school entrance exams and choosing the right school can feel daunting. With our deep knowledge of London’s independent schools and years of teaching experience, we are here to make the journey smoother for you and your child.
From your first consultation, we will guide you towards the schools that best fit your child, provide a tutor they will genuinely enjoy working with, and ensure they feel fully prepared for exams and interviews. Our tutors are not only experts in their subjects, but also in making learning engaging, confidence-building and fun.
Whether it's entrance exams, GCSEs, or simply after-school support, our mission is to help your child thrive while taking the stress out of the process for you.
1 to 1 Tuition
Our 1 to 1 tuition program is designed to give your child the best chance of success in their entrance exams.

Educational Consultancy
At The Serpentine Education Agency, we offer expert guidance to help families find the right school in London. We begin by assessing your child’s strengths, interests, and learning style, then recommend schools that align with their individual profile.

Our goal is to make what can feel like an overwhelming journey clear, manageable, and tailored to your family's needs.
Exam Preparation
We offer specialist tuition for entrance exams at every level — from 7+, 11+ and 13+ to GCSEs and A Levels. Our tailored approach helps students master core subjects, build exam technique, and approach assessments with confidence. Whether your child is preparing for school entrance tests or national exams, we match them with experienced tutors who provide targeted support and measurable progress.
