international students

Your bridge to British education. We provide international students with the academic, linguistic and cultural guidance needed to thrive in the UK education system.

A trusted partner for your child's UK education journey

At LARA Tuition and Consultancy, we specialise in supporting international students as they prepare for and adapt to life in the British education system. We understand how important this step is — not just academically, but emotionally and culturally. That's why we combine expert teaching with thoughtful guidance and a caring, individualised approach.

Our team brings a wealth of experience from both UK classrooms and international education contexts. Many of our tutors and consultants have personal experience of studying or raising children abroad, so we understand the hopes and concerns that come with sending your child to a new country.

What We Offer

  • English Language Support: We provide targeted English instruction tailored to the academic and exam needs of international students. Whether your child is preparing for entrance exams, GCSEs or simply building confidence in spoken and written English, we deliver language learning in a way that is engaging, respectful and effective.

  • Entrance Exam Preparation: From 11 Plus to UKiset and beyond, we guide students through every stage of school entry with personalised support. Our programmes prepare students for selective schools across the UK, with a strong focus on comprehension, vocabulary, reasoning and exam technique.

  • Cultural and Academic Integration: We help students understand the expectations of British schools — from classroom norms and homework habits to how to express opinions or structure an essay. This cultural fluency is just as important as academic readiness, and we weave it gently into every lesson.

  • Ongoing Academic Tutoring: Once your child is placed in a school, we offer continued academic support across a range of subjects taught in English. Our goal is not just to help students keep up, but to help them thrive, feel confident and become independent learners.

UKiset Preparation

Our UKiset preparation workshops are designed for international students applying to UK independent schools. Sessions include reading and listening comprehension, verbal and non verbal reasoning, maths and essay writing. At LARA, we combine language support with strategic thinking to help overseas learners feel at ease and ready to succeed.

English for Academic Success

At LARA Tuition and Consultancy, we support international students in developing the English language skills needed to succeed across all areas of school life in the UK. Our bespoke Academic English programme is designed to help students communicate with confidence, understand their subjects clearly and participate fully in lessons from the very beginning.

We understand that joining a new education system can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating complex academic language. That is why our approach is calm, structured and fully personalised to each student's level, background and educational goals.
