What is a university Admissions Consultant?
A University Admissions Consultant is an expert in applications to universities in the UK. Their sole profession is to give you an advantage when applying to two of the most prestigious universities in the world. Fewer than 15% of students who apply for undergraduate places at most competitive universities achieve a place. We offer students far higher success rates by providing transparency on the application processes for individual programmes, along with preparation, mentorship, and coaching to help applicants succeed.

Undergraduate Admissions Consultant

The undergraduate admissions process is highly competitive, but with expert guidance from graduates who have been through it personally and succeeded, you will maximise your chances. Our Undergraduate Admissions Consultants advise on every part of the process, from the UCAS application to pre-interview assessments and interview preparation.

Being part of Greenhill Academics changed my life

Russell has been providing secondary level maths lessons for my daughter over the summer. She has really enjoyed them and has engaged well, even when challenged. She always comes away from lessons feeling confident in her ability. The pace has been targeted to her and the online tools are easy to work with. She and I would recommend to anyone looking for group or 1:1 lessons.

Excellent tutors, high quality tuition and responsive admin. My son is not in school much due to health issues and the English and Maths tutors are giving him a chance of getting GCSEs. He always seems more confident after a lesson. I highly recommend Greenhill Academic Consulting!

I have had 4 sessions with Noah covering A-Level maths questions. They have been extremely useful at targeting my areas of weakness, which are mainly end of paper questions. Noah is thorough in explanations and make sure I understood exactly what the question is asking. We also covered how to generally approach questions to know how to best answer it. Would highly recommend as tutors!

My daughter had had maths tutoring up to and through her GCSEs. Natasha has been brilliant- they work through complex problems together, identify learning areas and agree topics to cover in their sessions. It’s made a huge difference to my daughter’s confidence and calm approach in maths. Five stars!!!!

Russell has done wonders with my son in an incredibly short period of time. He’s gone from being anxious and feeling unready for his exam to confident and prepared. He’s now even considering A-level maths. I can’t recommend Russell enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. My child lacks confidence—how will tutoring help?

Many students struggle with confidence, especially if they’ve had a bad experience in school or feel overwhelmed by the subject. Our tutoring approach helps students build confidence by breaking down difficult topics, reinforcing understanding, and celebrating progress.

02. My child is already working hard—why are they still struggling?

Studying isn’t just about memorising facts; your child must learn how to apply knowledge to unfamiliar contexts, especially in exams. Many students put in hours of revision but struggle with exam technique, structuring answers, or understanding mark schemes. A tutor can help identify and address these specific challenges.

03. How do I know if the tutoring is working?

We track progress through regular assessments, exam-style questions, and feedback from both the student and tutor. You’ll receive updates on improvements, areas of focus, and strategies for further progress.

04. Which exam boards do you cover?

We tutor for AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC and CIE exam boards. We also cover the International Baccalaureate (IB)

05. How do online tutoring sessions work?

We set up a learning space which is joined at the time of a session. In the learning space, students are on video call with our tutors and use an interactive whiteboard with resources. Parents and students are often surprised how easy it is!

06. How often should my child have tutoring sessions?

This depends on their current level and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for consistent progress, while others may prefer more intensive lessons closer to exams. We can recommend a schedule based on your child’s needs.

07. What if my child has a busy schedule?

We offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend sessions, to fit around your child’s commitments. Tutoring is designed to be productive and efficient, so even one hour a week can make a significant difference when supported with independent study.

08. Is there a trial available?

Yes! We offer a paid trial so your child can meet the tutor and experience online tutoring before committing. We use the trial to make an assessment and demonstrate how we can help.

09. Why are Greenhill Academics tutors considered the best you can find?

We select tutors with exceptional academic backgrounds, proven experience in helping students reach their goals, and in-depth knowledge of exam board requirements.
