What you need to know about Career Guidance
What you need to know and how we support your child
Career guidance helps students explore options and make informed decisions about subjects, further education, and career paths. Our career guidance specialists work one-to-one with students to clarify interests, strengths, and values and to map these to realistic options. Sessions are delivered on our interactive online learning platform.
We support students with subject choices (e.g. for IGCSE, IB, or A Level), university and course research, and applications where relevant. We do not teach academic subjects - we focus on self-awareness, option exploration, and decision-making so students can plan their next steps with confidence.
Our specialists are experienced in working with international curricula and a range of destinations. Whether you are considering South African, UK, or other universities, we help you understand requirements and timelines and prepare strong applications.

Common mistakes
Common concerns and how we address them
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
Overwhelmed by too many options.
We use structured conversations to narrow options based on interests, strengths, and practical constraints so you can focus on a shortlist.
Leaving research and applications to the last minute.
We help you map timelines and deadlines so you can plan subject choices, open days, and applications in good time.
Unclear how to present strengths in applications.
We work on self-awareness and how to articulate your child's profile clearly in personal statements and interviews.
Pressure from family or school about specific paths.
We focus on your interests and strengths so your child can explore options and make informed decisions that feel right for them.
Not sure how career guidance fits with subject teaching.
Career guidance is separate from subject teaching - we help with choices and next steps. If you also need academic support, we can point you in the right direction.
Study strategy
How the Career Guidance process works
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
First session
Initial session
We explore interests, strengths, and where you are in your decision-making. We agree on focus areas (e.g. subject choices, university research).
Ongoing
Research and exploration
We work through option research, timelines, and how to present your profile. Sessions are tailored to your stage and goals.
As needed
Decisions and next steps
We support you to make informed decisions and plan next steps (e.g. applications, deadlines).
Tactics
- Bring any ideas or lists you already have so we can build on them.
- Start early - subject choices and applications benefit from time.
- Use the insights to draft personal statements or prepare for interviews.
Recommended approach
Begin with a clear picture of your stage - subject choices, university plans, or general exploration. We then structure sessions around research, reflection, and decision-making.
The earlier you start, the more time you have to explore and meet deadlines without stress.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Career Guidance
Common questions and answers
What is career guidance?+−
Career guidance helps students explore interests and options and make informed decisions about subjects, further education, and careers. Our specialists work one-to-one on self-awareness, research, and planning - they do not teach academic subjects or provide clinical counselling.
How are career guidance sessions delivered?+−
Sessions are on our interactive online learning platform. You can meet from home or anywhere with a stable connection. We will send a link and any preparation (e.g. reflection questions) before your first session.
Do you help with university applications in career guidance?+−
Yes. We support university and course research, application timelines, and personal statements where relevant. We do not write applications for you but help you plan and present your profile clearly.
How do I get matched with a career guidance specialist?+−
We hand pick a specialist based on your goals (e.g. subject choices, university research, applications). Tell us your stage and we recommend someone with the right experience. Our Fit-First Guarantee applies if the first session is not the right fit.
Is career guidance the same as subject teaching?+−
No. Career guidance is about options and decisions - not teaching subjects. If you also need subject teaching, we can help you access that separately.
