Who we are

What this company is for.

Elysian Tutors is built around one job: preparing candidates for the Oxford and Cambridge interview, and teaching the A-levels and IB subjects underneath it. Anyone teaching interview preparation here has sat that interview themselves, in their own subject, in a recent admissions cycle. Before a tutor teaches anyone they are interviewed by us, their subject qualifications are checked against the certificate, and they clear an enhanced DBS check including the children’s barred list. After every lesson a written report reaches the family, and we read it before they do.
