Welcome to Independent School Interview, where we focus on preparing children for one of the most crucial steps in their educational journey: the independent school admissions process. We aim to equip your child with the skills and confidence necessary to excel in school interviews and beyond.
Who We Are

I am Joycellyn Akuffo, the founder and managing director of Independent School Interview. With over a decade’s experience as a journalist, having worked on top UK magazine titles such as BBC Good Homes, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, my expertise in effective communication stands at the core of our preparation strategies. Just as I have helped countless children transform their creative writing skills through my work at Geek School Tutoring, I bring the same level of dedication to preparing your child for interviews.
Our Approach
We understand that the admissions process can be daunting both for children and their parents. At Independent School Interview, we believe that confidence stems from thorough preparation and understanding. Our tailored coaching sessions focus on key skills such as:
- Effective Communication: Harness the power of storytelling and articulate responses.
- Critical Thinking: Enable your child to navigate complex questions and scenarios with ease.
- Confidence Building: Create a supportive environment where your child can practice and receive constructive feedback.
We are dedicated to making the learning process engaging and positive, ensuring that your child not only succeeds in their interviews but also develops skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey.
