Teaching Approach

What makes Westminster Tutors really special is that we remain true to our tutorial college origins, either teaching one-to-one or in very small groups of two to three students. We are also the only college to provide one hour of academic and pastoral mentoring to each student on a weekly basis.  Read more

Careers Guidance

Year after year our students take up places at top UK universities, while others have started apprenticeships with blue-chip companies which will fast-track their careers. Our chief aim is for each student to achieve their own potential and most important of all is to provide information, advice and guidance which broadens options and opportunities rather than closes them down.  Read more

University Applications

Each year around 95% of our A level cohort go on to higher education, and our aim is to inspire but not force students in this direction. The collegiate atmosphere and the academic calibre of our teachers make the college an ideal stepping stone to university, and providing the best personal guidance on careers and university applications is a central aspect of the support we provide.  Read more
