“Our kids have been working with Luminary directly for the last four years. They helped us list the boarding schools in the UK considering our preferences and prepared my 13-year-old daughter from scratch for entry exams to the selected schools. As a result, she received offers from both schools she applied to. I do truly appreciate the on-going support they have been providing since then: from moving and settling in the school during lockdowns to successfully passing her GCSEs. I would describe it as a top notch and tailored approach.”

Artem, London

“I would like to thank Drew and the tutors at Luminary for their help in preparing my two sons for the ISEB pre-test. Despite having studied in the UK for only one year, after intensive tuition, both were offered places at Oundle, Shrewsbury and Cheltenham. Drew provided extensive support both in terms of academic preparation and mentoring to help my sons through a difficult process. We are so grateful for the in-depth information provided, the catch-up calls to see how the boys were doing, and the intensive tutoring despite the short time until the exams. They wouldn’t have done it without you!”

Maria, Newbury

“Max and the team at Luminary had helped guide my son through his GCSEs, so when it came to applying for university we got back in touch for assistance choosing courses and managing applications. As we were interested in both UK and US options, we found it really helpful to be guided through the two distinctly different application processes from start to finish. My son is just starting his sophomore year at college in upstate New York, and really enjoying his time in the US.”

Julia, Moscow

"Luminary Education helped to place our son at Dulwich College, which was a huge achievement for him and we were very happy with their help. They assisted with everything, from preparation for exams to meeting him at the airport and escorting to the school. I would certainly recommend them!"
