Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A creative, inclusive independent with strong results and a genuine track record of supporting different kinds of learners. Day fees range widely, so the entry point depends heavily on year group and boarding choice.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
