| Individual time to be agreed with client on booking | Bespoke Interview Prep for Parent and Child – onlineTania Virdie, Head of Schools at JK Educate delivers individual one to one bespoke interview preparation online personally. She runs through how the interview process works, what types of questions might come up and how the children might like to consider their answers to these questions. It is incredibly important that the answers come from the children, not us or the parent, but if we give the child time to think in advance about their answers it will make them more confident on the day. We will run through other top tips for the interview for both academic and pastoral questions as well as group activities and taster lessons. Tania will also discuss the importance of positive, open body language. The session takes approximately 1.25 hours and we do ask that a parent attends too so they can practise some of the skills after the session. Most children do not need more than one stand-alone session. |
