Is it possible to get into top schools without tutoring?

No. 

I do not have much to say about this. 

You want your child to secure a place at a top school at the likes of Westminster, St. Paul’s, Habs or Notting Hill and Ealing?

You will tutor them. 

Which basically means that you will teach them. 

Which basically means that you will support them to be very successful. 

Which basically means that without tutoring or teaching or supporting, your child will have a minuscule chance of having any chance for success in their assessment. 

I’m noticing a trend lately.

A wishy-washy attitude around the preparation of children for their assessments. 

A total lack of clear direction. 

Which I completely understand by the way, but at the same time my thought on it is this…

If I were to commit to preparing my child to get into a school like Westminster or St. Paul’s, I would 100% commit. I wouldn’t 75/60/55/35% commit. 

I wouldn’t think things like this…

‘Oh well, if he doesn’t pass, he can just stay where he is!’

Or 

‘It’s no big deal if he passes or not!’ 

It is a big deal and sure, he can stay where he is but if you have those sorts of thoughts, I suggest you do not even bother embarking on an assessment preparation process. You would only be wasting your time, your child’s time and your teacher’s time. 

Assessment preparation is hard work for everyone involved. 

If you’re not fully committed, please don’t bother.
