From our founder
Lawrence Brody, BMus, PGCE, MEd
“Securing a place at the right senior school is a milestone that shapes far more than academics. These schools become second homes - environments where children build lifelong friendships, grow in character, and lay the foundations of their future achievements.
In today’s increasingly competitive landscape, it’s natural for both parents and children to feel anxious about the admissions process. At Stratum Tutoring, our mission is to remove that uncertainty. We take a bespoke, highly personalised approach - supporting your child at every stage, while ensuring their preparation reflects both their strengths and ambitions.
Our tailored guidance gives your child the best possible chance to shine, fulfil their potential, and secure a place at a school where they will thrive. Whether your child is preparing for traditional admissions exams (ISEB pre-tests or Common Entrance), in-house assessments or interviews with the head, we can provide expertise and one-to-one guidance on their journey.
We would be delighted to partner with you - helping to turn your academic and pastoral vision into a reality”

He guides pupils through the admissions process with clarity, empathy, and practical expertise, helping them approach their next steps with confidence. Placing the right student into the right school can produce wonderful outcomes.
