School Interviews Approaching?

Online Interview Practice with Katie Knapman

Do you worry that, even though your child is working hard for school entrance tests, they might not know what to expect at interview? Would you like them to have a practice run with someone who spends a great deal of time interviewing children (mainly online), encouraging them to be the very best they can be?

Although the interview is usually the final hurdle, it remains a very important part of the admissions process.

As the parent of two children who have successfully navigated highly competitive school and university admissions, I understand the process from both a professional and a parent's perspective. My daughter recently graduated from Oxford, and my son will be starting there this autumn. Before university, both attended Westminster School.

Drawing on my experience as a BBC television presenter and many years of interviewing children, I help pupils prepare for school interviews with confidence.

In one-to-one online practice sessions tailored to your child, I focus on presentation, content and discussion. Above all, I aim to build your child's confidence, helping them share their strengths naturally and extend their answers thoughtfully. Alongside questions about academic subjects, sport and hobbies, I also include elements that cannot simply be learned by rote, such as discussing a painting, photograph or poem, so that your child is better prepared for the unexpected.

Above all, I try to make every session enjoyable.

Sessions last 30 minutes and include detailed feedback, enabling you to continue building your child's confidence afterwards, together with suggestions for follow-up activities.
