The Admissions Academy

The Admissions Academy is an exceptional tutor company. Our seventeen-year-old son is gaining a deeper knowledge of his STEM subjects alongside valuable lessons in exam technique and how to organise and study for his exams.

By attending the group STEM courses and private tutoring he has made remarkable progress; resulting in improved grades and maturity regarding his enthusiasm for study and seeking extended learning opportunities.

The tutor has remained highly professional and approachable. Our son strongly believes it is the tutor's ability to explain and teach in a way he understands that has improved his knowledge retention. He has also appreciated the guidance regarding university choices and application.

The free Progress Consultation has been invaluable in allowing us insight into our son's progress.

Sebastian and Harry are excellent tutors who provide well structured lessons. My daughter has made great progress and has a much better understanding of her course material. Working with Sebastian and Harry has given her significantly more confidence. I can highly recommend The Admissions Academy.

ISEB Pre Test Tutor - highly recommend!

Sebastian has been ably guiding our son for his ISEB pre tests. He has been absolutely brilliant at getting our son on track and identifying the gaps in his knowledge and honing his exam technique. He is a calm voice of reason to myself and I feel very lucky that we have found him to guide us through this daunting process. Our son has seen a significant rise in his CAT4 scores since being under Sebastian’s guidance which we are thrilled with as well. My only regret is that I wish we had started sooner but I can whole heartedly recommend Sebastian for ISEB Pre Tests and interview practise you won’t regret it!

Sebastian is an incredible tutor

Sebastian is an incredible tutor, the best any of my children have ever had!! My son loves working with him and looks forward to all of their sessions. We moved over from New York to the UK right before year 6 and our son, having not been on the British system, had a huge amount of work ahead of him. Sebastian did an incredible job helping our son get caught up and excel in Maths, English, Latin and several other subjects. Our son ultimately got in to every school he applied to and will be heading to Eton next year. I can’t say enough good things. He is the best!!

It has been fantastic having Sebastian as a tutor for my son over the last 2.5 years. From teaching Latin to covering other CE subjects and providing interview support when needed, Seb has supported him at every step along the way into his journey for a place at Eton. He always makes himself available for discussions with parents and has offered valuable insight into the exam and interview process. Thanks so much, Seb. Your help and advice is much appreciated.

Amazing Tutor

Sebastian’s private tutoring is absolutely outstanding in every field. My grandson had classes in English, Maths, verbal and non verbal reasoning and he progressed way beyond our expectations. Sebastian took time to really get to know our grandson and all sessions were tailor made for him to give him the best possible chance for applications to independent schools M was motivated , supported and encouraged throughout his learning and , thanks to Sebastian he achieved acceptance to his first choice school - Haileybury. We cannot recommend or thank Sebastian enough.

Sebastian has been wonderful with my son. Having tutored him through his ISEB, 11+ and his CAT 4 and entrance exams for Haileybury. Having come through the state system, Sebastian has been fantastic guiding us through the minefield that is the independent school system. We were so thrilled when our son gained a scholarship place at Haileybury and he wouldn’t have been able to achieve that without Sebastian’s wonderful tuition.

Exceptional Tutoring Experience with Mr. Sebastian Jones

From the very first lesson, it was clear that Mr. Sebastian Jones was not just an ordinary tutor—he was an expert in his field with a true passion for teaching. His depth of knowledge in English, Maths, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and Reasoning was evident in every session, and his ability to break down complex topics into clear, digestible lessons made all the difference in my son’s preparation and acceptance to both Pierce College and Campion School in Athens.

What truly sets Mr. Jones apart is his structured and methodical approach to tutoring. He didn’t just teach my son how to answer questions—he taught him how to think critically, problem-solve efficiently, and approach exams with confidence. His lessons were always engaging, well-planned, and tailored to my son’s strengths and areas for improvement. No challenge was ever too big, and his patience and encouragement kept my son motivated throughout the entire process.
