Interview Preparation
11+ and University
Client Testimonal
‘I worked with Miss Forbes in preparation for my university interviews, and I
cannot recommend her highly enough. She helped me clarify my
achievements and selling points as an applicant and worked in depth with me
on common interview questions specifically for US universities. This gave me
conviction when answering and asking questions of my own, which in turn
prevented me from floundering and fumbling in my answers. Not only did I
gain confidence over the course of our sessions together, but I also sounded
more self-assured. By the time we had finished, I could simultaneously sound
assertive while maintaining a strong rapport with my interviewers. We
constructed my answers in a way I was able to remember easily under
pressure, enabling me to perform my best on the day without ever feeling
flustered or worried. Miss Forbes was warm and reassuring throughout the
process; she bolstered my confidence and was always willing to take time out
of her schedule to meet with me. I am so grateful for all of her help.’
