    "Ilia's emphasis on the types of questions that appear in the test was really helpful and showed me exactly what my weaknesses were. All his mock exams helped me prepare for the actual test and the time pressure involved. He has been a great teacher and mentor.

      Our Promises

      Proven Results You Can Trust

      At Selective Specialist, our results speak louder than promises.

      With a consistent, proven track record, we have successfully guided dozens of students into their dream Selective Schools.

      When you join us, you're not just preparing for a test - you're preparing for success.

      Engaging, Discussion-Based Classes

      At Selective Specialist, we believe learning should be active, not passive. That’s why we embrace a dynamic Socratic teaching style - an interactive, discussion-driven approach that encourages students to think critically, engage deeply, and truly master the exam.

      Our classes aren’t just lectures, they’re conversations that foster a deeper understanding of concepts and sharpen analytical thinking. By encouraging open dialogue, we ensure students not only retain knowledge better but also develop the confidence to apply it under exam conditions and beyond.

      Unlimited Support and Feedback

      At Selective Specialist, learning doesn’t stop when class ends. We offer unlimited marking and personalised feedback outside of class hours through Skype, providing students with near 24/7 academic support.

      Whether it’s refining an essay, clarifying tricky concepts, or preparing for upcoming assessments, our ongoing support system ensures that students receive the guidance they need, when they need it most. This constant access to expert feedback has been a key factor in helping our students achieve rapid and lasting improvement.
