About Josh
I specialise in 13+ preparation and highly selective school admissions, including Eton College, St Paul’s School and other leading independent schools.
Since 2009, all 68 pupils I have personally supported in applications to Eton College, St Paul’s School or both have secured at least one offer. Every pupil I have personally supported for an Eton King’s Scholarship has also been successful.
I am a University of Cambridge postgraduate in Teaching with over 15 years and approximately 20,000 hours of teaching, coaching and mentoring experience.
My work covers ISEB Common Pre-Test, Common Entrance, English, Mathematics, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, school-specific assessments, academic scholarships and interviews.
I work with pupils who need targeted improvement as well as already high-performing candidates requiring greater intellectual stretch.
Enhanced DBS checked, safeguarding trained and professionally insured.

The first priority is to establish where your child is now, where they need to reach and what is most likely to determine the outcome of their application.
I begin with the target schools, intended year of entry, admissions timetable and preparation already completed. I then diagnose the areas requiring attention and construct a focused preparation programme rather than placing every pupil through the same generic course.
Lessons can cover ISEB, Common Entrance, English, comprehension, creative writing, Mathematics, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, problem solving, school-specific papers, scholarships and interviews.
My teaching combines clear explanation with explicit modelling, targeted retrieval, increasingly demanding practice, timed work and detailed error analysis. Where a pupil is already performing very strongly, I move beyond routine questions towards unfamiliar problems requiring independence, intellectual curiosity and precise reasoning.
You and your child receive full notes after every session and concise progress guidance and priorities for work.
Both long-term admissions preparation and focused intensive preparation for approaching examinations or interviews are available.
The complimentary 30-minute initial diagnostic is used to review objectives, sample your child’s present level, identify the principal priorities and recommend the most sensible preparation route.
When contacting me, please send your child’s current year group, target school(s), intended year of entry and preparation completed so far.
Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Josh.
Perfect! I’m Diya, mother of Sairah, and working with Josh has been the best educational decision we’ve ever made. Sairah decided last-minute to sit for the 11+ at top schools like St Paul’s, Henrietta Barnett, City of London and North London Collegiate. We had just six weeks to prepare for some of the most competitive entrance exams in the country.
I was amazed at how quickly Sairah opened up to Josh — something she never does with new people. Josh worked hard to make her feel safe and heard, and that instant connection and level of comfort was something I hadn’t expected but deeply appreciated.
From the first lesson, she was confident, expressive and completely herself. She now looks forward to every session and jumps around the house, talking about them with genuine excitement! That’s a world away from how she talks about other classes, which she often grumbles through.
With Josh, there’s joy, there’s excitement — and most importantly, there’s a feeling of ownership and pride for her in her learning. It’s clear Josh genuinely cares and puts thought and energy into every lesson.
We're incredibly grateful to Josh”.See more reviews
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
“For the first time, I’ve set some proper goals for my life.
Josh helped me plot a line of achievable and realistic mini-goals to take me where I want to go.
It was such a great relief to have someone to act as a guide and a confidante that I could consult on my ideas and aspirations.
I finally know where I want to go with my life and what I want to do and I can’t wait to get started!”
Dash, Undergraduate"Always positive, Josh makes even the toughest subjects feel manageable. He's a ray of sunshine!"
Nick, 9
“Josh’s empathy and understanding is what I truly appreciated most.
I had to constantly chop and change our lessons as I was going through a really difficult period in my life. He was always so kind and understanding and he was flexible enough to accommodate my crazy schedule without ever complaining. He always understood when life got in the way and helped me catch up without any stress.
I’m so grateful for Josh believing in me, even when I didn’t, and that made all the difference”.
Mena, 19“The bespoke learning plan which Josh drafted for me is a truly amazing document.
It gave me so many insights into myself and made me realise I’d wasted so much time with ineffectual learning.
I can now see now how my future studying and learning has been focussed like a laser for me by Josh. I only wish I’d come to him sooner!”
Kazuaki, 25 – Postgraduate student“My son’s confidence has gone from strength to strength under the expert coaching and mentoring of Josh.
Before, Javed was painfully shy and this held him back from so many things. Now, he’s so confident and motivated about his schooling, himself and so many other aspects of his life.
He’s now telling us what he wants to do with his life and everyone has noticed the new Javed; our friends, his friends, our family and his teachers.
We can’t thank Josh enough for what he’s done!”
Mr. Joshi, father and Business Manager“Unusually, my 11 year old daughter Joy is obsessed with dinosaurs.
From the very beginning of her first Biology lesson, Josh integrated dinosaurs into almost every task, keeping her highly interested, engaged and motivated.
He just radiated enthusiasm for the subject and it was infectious! Joy almost fell off her chair when he assigned her ‘homework’ of going to the dinosaur exhibit at The Natural History Museum!
Josh even researched a few great dinosaur documentaries on Netflix for her to watch!
I’ve never seen Joy so enthusiastic about learning; for the first time, she is working by herself without us having to push her. We’ve finally found our perfect tutor!”
Peter, father and Doctor“I just felt it was important for me to confirm, Josh absolutely means what he says that his teaching motivates and inspires you and is as far as possible from ‘boring’ learning.
Josh is teaching English to our 6 year old son Jamie with lessons based on Minecraft! Jamie is obsessed with Minecraft which is a video game popular amongst kids his age. I never dreamed I’d find a tutor who would create and deliver such an exciting curriculum to Jamie.
Jamie loves his lessons and is always asking us when the next one is; he really looks forward to them and we’ve never found that with any other tutor! I just wish I’d contacted Josh sooner!”
Seraphina, mother and Judge“I was hitting my head against the wall with some English Literature coursework and the deadline was fast approaching!
I was panicking and contacted Josh. He immediately calmed me by breaking down such an overwhelming problem into a strict schedule of mini-goals. He then supported me in achieving all these mini-goals and I turned in a brilliant essay that got a 9 at GCSE!
I was astounded – that just wouldn’t have been possible without Josh!”
Chris, 15“I’ll admit, I had my doubts about online learning when I first came to Josh. All my previous tuition had been face-to-face and I wasn’t sure learning virtually would work for me.
Josh helped me effortlessly set myself up for online learning. He explained about equipment, software, learning platforms etc.
Once I started learning online with Josh, I saw how easy and convenient it was. I could wake up 5 minutes before my lesson and stumble to my computer (but don’t tell Josh that!)
Online learning fit in so well with my busy schedule of a full-time job and raising two toddlers. I don’t have to worry about going anywhere for my lessons, I just have to ‘commute’ to the computer in my bedroom!
And online learning is so much better than face-to-face – my tutor can bring any resource on the internet to our lessons and I can take a quick break to check on my toddlers whenever I need.
I’m never going back to face-to-face tuition!”
Daisy, mother and accountant“Money’s tight with me as I’m just a student.
Josh was kind enough to fully explain his Referrals Reward Programme to me and thus far I’ve been able to book 15 lessons with Josh that have been fully funded by my making referrals. I haven’t paid a penny!
I’d been assigned some stupid poetry to study as part of my A Level English and I was dreading it.
Josh looked at the poems and instead spent our first lesson talking about my favourite rapper Eminem! He explained rap is just poetry set to a beat and, through analysing Eminem’s tracks, I learned about rhyme, internal rhyme, meter, rhythm and so many other cool things in a really interesting way.
We then transferred that knowledge to poetry and I gained a new appreciation of it.
Josh is a truly inspirational tutor – can’t recommend him highly enough!”
Luke, 16
“I’m in the fortunate position of being able to request bespoke service wherever I go, whether it’s buying a new car, clothes shopping or looking at properties to purchase.
I have been so impressed by the bespoke personalized service lavished on me by Josh. He considered so many aspects of my learning process in great detail – I have never heard of any other tutor offering anything approaching it and I’ve recommended Josh to all my friends. It’s a truly remarkable service and I’m really looking forward to learning with Josh”.
Mrs. Al-Waleed“What’s amazing about Josh is how quickly and easily he establishes a strong rapport with you.
I’m normally very reserved and shy and have unfortunately fired lots of previous tutors I just didn’t get on with.
Josh had me laughing within the first few minutes of our lesson and he quickly proved that he was there to support me no matter what.
I now consider him a trusted friend and confidante and a constant source of support and understanding. I have trusted him with sensitive private matters outside my academic learning and he has helped me enormously”.
Elizabeth, 25 – a fully qualified solicitor“Josh has so much strength and compassion; he is so kind and has truly supported me through some difficult recent times.
I have a lot of friends in Israel and I worry about them so much with the current war. Josh has comforted and reassured me and has taken on the lion’s share of the work in ensuring I stay up-to-date in my academic work, grant applications, interviews, roundtables, conferences and other academic commitments.
In the background, he has looked out for my mental health and rallied with my friends to provide me with a strong support network in these difficult times”.
An Academic at Oxford University“Josh is invaluable to Oxford University. He is currently working with me on Oxford’s Undergraduate courses. Josh is absolutely the best; it’s clear he has so much passion for researching all the information and presenting it on the course in a way that truly resonates with and motivates our students. He has come up with so many impressive and innovative ideas that we have never considered before at Oxford. And he’s so supportive and loyal to the University; he has taken so much stress and pressure off me in sculpting these courses.
Working with Josh is an absolute joy – I commend him unreservedly to you”.View more recommendations
