Hampton Boys

[Thea]

Hi - can anyone recommend a tutor with experience and knowledge of Hampton Boys' exam?
Many thanks,
Thea

I really would not worry. Are you in the state system? If your son is a definitive Level 5 for math and english you won't need to tutor. We never tutored our son and he has had an interview, justing waiting for an offer. A bit of VR practice would be helpfull but I presume from your location you will be doing that anyway for Tiffin.

My son was one of many from his state school who applied to hampton 2 years ago. It is a favourite locally and increasingly in demand. They offer more interviews than they have places so that is not necessarily a guarantee. Sorry I don' t think Level 5 is enough. Mine was, as was many of his classmates. He had a tutor who not only understood Hampton requirements but was also able to give interview advice. Do not underestimate the importance of the interview - we know boys who did not get offers afterwards. His tutor has a waiting list of a couple of years so this is probably too late for you but I strongly believe that , unless he is particularly bright, if you want to be ahead of the game you should get a tutor.

Thank you - just shows how things move on fast in this game and the stakes get ever higher!

Hi. My son, in local state now, has an offer from Hampton. No tutor at all. He only studied with me along.. only for 4 weeks. If you spare 1 - 1.5 hour a day for your son, I am sure that he passes the exam. Good luck!
