Education Consultancy

The right tutor fixes a subject. The right strategy shapes a future: which school, which subjects, which curriculum (A-Level or IB), which universities, and what needs to happen, year by year, to get there.

I'm Mehdi Naqvi. Beyond 12+ years of elite tutoring, I've founded and run one of the UK's leading tuition agencies, built departments at a prestigious London sixth-form college, and been trusted by some of the world's most prominent families, including members of royal families and leading international business dynasties, to guide their children's education with complete discretion.

What I advise on

  • Academic strategy and planning: a clear, realistic roadmap from where your child is now to where they want to be
  • A-Level vs IB: which curriculum suits your child, with honest analysis of the trade-offs
  • Subject selection: the combinations that keep top-university doors open
  • UK university admissions: UCAS strategy, personal statements, admissions tests (TMUA/ESAT), interview preparation, and realistic targeting of Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL and Imperial. My students have won places for Economics at Oxford and Cambridge and PPE at Oxford, so I know what these applications demand
  • School transitions: sixth-form moves, international relocations to or from the British system
  • Building the right support team: I've trained and coached tutors professionally; I know exactly what excellent looks like and can vet or assemble tutors for other subjects

Who this is for

Families who want more than ad-hoc tutoring: an experienced, discreet advisor who has seen hundreds of academic journeys (state, grammar, private and international) and knows what actually determines outcomes at the top end. Many of my consultancy families are international (Dubai, Singapore, Switzerland) navigating the British system from abroad.

How it works

An initial consultation to understand your child's position, goals and circumstances. From there, engagement is tailored: a one-off strategic review, a term-by-term plan with check-ins, or fully managed academic oversight alongside tuition.

Discretion is absolute, as it has been throughout my career with high-profile clients.

FAQ

How is this different from tutoring? Tutoring improves performance in a subject. Consultancy makes sure the whole journey (school, subjects, curriculum, applications, timing) is pointed at the right target.

Do you only work with families in the UK? No: a large share of consultancy work is with international families, handled entirely online.

Can you review our current plan? Yes. A single strategic session often surfaces issues (subject combinations, unrealistic targeting, missing test prep) years before they'd otherwise appear.

What does it cost? Consultancy is scoped per engagement: contact me and I'll propose a structure after the initial conversation.
