ABOUT US
Independent Sixth Form College
Westminster Tutors is one of the oldest and best independent sixth form colleges in London. Established in 1934, our “culture of scholastic excellence” (Ofsted, 2018) is deeply embedded and sets the standard for other colleges to follow.
Who’s Who?
It can take a few minutes to explain the name Westminster Tutors to people who don’t know about us. For a start we are in South Kensington, not in Westminster. And we are not, as the name might imply, a tutoring agency, but are one of the best independent sixth form colleges in London. Read more
Our Tutors
Since 1934 we have built our reputation on our tutors and they remain our greatest asset today. Our student-teacher ratio is 1:1 and it is our policy to offer a balance of the brightest and best graduates from the top universities with highly qualified teachers who have many years of experience.

Our History
Westminster Tutors is one of the oldest tutorial establishments in the country. It was founded in 1934 by the doughty Miss Freeston, who studied Physics at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, and was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford University. Read more
College Facilities
Westminster Tutors has a sociable Common Room where students can eat their meals and make hot drinks, and there are many cafes and sandwich shops nearby where they can buy their lunch. There are photocopying facilities in the Common Room as well as access to wireless printing and internet access throughout the college. Read more
Activities
College life at Westminster Tutors is friendly, lively and inclusive, and new students are warmly welcomed by those already at the college. The head boy and head girl, who are annually elected by students and staff, take responsibility for arranging student events and activities, as well as ensuring that the views of all are heard and taken into account.

Our 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. Our maximum group size is six students, while our average group size is two or three students. Read more
Careers Guidance
The Principal specialises in providing careers and higher education guidance, and has 15 years’ experience in this field. She has an ‘open door’ policy and students are encouraged to consult with her as often as needed, meaning each student receives highly personalised and expert careers guidance throughout his or her time at the college. 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 tutors 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.
