The Good Schools Guide review of Gabbitas Educational Consultants Ltd

This grandmother of all tutor agencies – and far more besides - has a staff of over 50 and offices in Europe, Middle East and Asia, as well as a Russian language desk within the UK head office. The formidable Board of seven (all men) includes John Hutchison, who also leads the Senior Management Team which includes Maureen Hooley, who runs Services For Families and Students.

The Good Schools Guide Education Consultants offer assessments in English, maths and in reasoning. Most schools assess these subjects when considering a child for a place. This is especially important for children coming from different countries with different educational systems. But there can be many reasons for checking a child's progress in these basic skills.
