Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A highly selective London girls' school where outstanding results and genuine breadth go hand in hand, backed by meaningful bursary support for those who need it.
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.
