How it works

Your child should be registered for a time slot on one our various dates by booking and paying through the website.

Upon arriving at the office at your allotted time you will be greeted by the interviewer. Your child will be interviewed by a specialist with years of experience helping students prepare for school entrance interviews. Our consultants have worked (currently or formerly) as Head teachers in London independent schools. Your child will participate in 50 minutes of Interview practice and parents can wait outside the room if they wish. Parents are then invited to hear feedback in the last 10 minutes of the session.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Once committed to a course/workshop/exam (by completion of an online booking), a contract exists between you and Yellowbird Education. You agree to the following terms:

  1. Payment must be received in full 14 days prior to the start of the course/workshop/exam.
  2. Should you need to cancel a booking, you will have the following options:
    • 14 days or more before the start of the course/workshop/exam, you will be offered a credit for a future course/workshop/exam valid for 12 months OR a full refund less an admin fee (the lesser of 10% of the order or £50).
    • Less than 14 days before the start of a course/workshop/exam, we will try to fill the place and may be able to offer a credit to be used within 12 months.

Description

One-to-one interview practice is designed to guide your child through the interview process. Children are guided through the usual types of questions they may be given and how to answer them in full sentences with a golden thread throughout. Children gain confidence knowing the types of questions they may be asked and how to be able to answer these questions. Interview practice at Yellowbird is not about telling children what to say but about working with their answers and how to improve on them. These sessions include 50 minutes of Interview skills and practice with 10 minutes of extensive feedback to parents and your child.
